A chat with professional make-up artist.... Hannah Lisa

Recently I met with professional make-up artist Hannah Lisa to have a quick chat about make-up and beauty.

I mean who would not want to sit and chat for an hour about make-up??

Time flew, we chatted about all aspects of make-up and we excitedly went through my make-up bag.

I was a little scared to share the contents with such a professional as I was waiting for her to tell me I was using completely the wrong products or brushes but I was pleasantly surprised that she was happy to see the various products inside my beauty bag and she gave her comments to me.

I learned so many tips and tricks from her and I got all the answers to my questions.

The things I learnt:

💗 Not to use any contour product with a shimmer in it!

      💗 As my skin is very fair and my eye make-up is quite black, dust it over with brown eye shadow and layer it which will soften the look and make it last longer!

      💗 Use primer to fill in those lines (Yes age is creeping up) especially above my top lip and use lip liner to avoid bleeding lipstick!

    💗 As my skin is quite dry, only use powder over my concealer application under my eye triangle area and my t-zone - no need to powder over whole face.

 

       💗 Invest in a Beauty Blender for a smoother foundation application and dampen it first! Dab it all over the face in a tapping motion rather than rubbing it so it applies a more smooth look and doesn't remove the product from your face. There is a mini sized beauty blender which can be used for concealer and can reach right into the corners of you eye ensuring no creases...

   💗 Use Black Khol in my upper inner rims (tightline) to define my eyes more and give a more open look to the eye. This works well not to loose any lid space and especially works well with people who have hooded eyes.

   💗 Use nude liner (not white) on my lower water line to brighten the eyes.

   💗 Lastly, make-up brushes play the most important part and ensuring that I use a separate brush for each different job.

Hope you enjoyed this post!

Love💗
