The Makeup Guide

40 hours of training & just over 50 hours of case studies later I can finally say yesterday I completed my Colour Analysis Training by passing my exam.

I am so grateful to Tina Petty - Bloome for her patience and for creating a training that worked for myself as a new mum. (Yes I actually started my training back in 2024.)

As a new mum there was no way I would have been able to attend the week long intensives most trainers offer. So even though it took way longer than planned I am very excited to now be adding Colour Analysis to my list of services; sitting along side my make up education and skincare audits.

To celebrate I’m giving my first 11 clients an introductory rate of £149 (saving £40. Below you can see my availability (until end of May). If you are interested please just pop me a message

** New website and Business Name all to come as The Makeup Guide doesn’t fit anymore **

Yesterday I had the honour of helping Laura get ready for an outside branding shoot.

This is something I tend to only do on request and I am so glad I was able to help Laura feel more confortable on camera. Like many of my clients Laura struggles with rosacea so wanted it covered but didn’t want it to feel heavy or look like she had “loads” of makeup on.

In comes my very trusty Limelife Complete Concealer with over 60% pigment it covers with very little product and because it’s a cream base it also sits really nicely on the skin.

Laura also had a 1-2-1 Makeup lesson with me so she could understand the best way to apply products and in this session we also spoke about skincare- this is something I always do because for me if you are happy with your skin then the less likely you are to want to wear makeup.

- We switched her harsh cleanser for a gentle cream based one
- Added in A serum to support with skin repair and redness
- Switched out E45 moisturiser for a moisturising balm that’s cooling, repairing, hydrating and packed full of natural ingredients.
- And stream lined by removing some of the products that weren’t helping.

The photos below show Before | Then after we added brows (always makes a huge difference) | And the final result or Laura’s makeup.

If you are unhappy with how your makeup sits or looks on your skin and are ready to change that please contact me for a makeup lessson or Skincare audit.

**Waiting List Is currently sat at 4 weeks**

Very excited, just ordered a new mascara 👏

I love my Making Waves but when I’m seeing images like this I can’t not give it a go.

I mean look at that difference 😮

Something exciting is coming to The Makeup Guide 😛 it will mean a rebrand but I’m so excited. Any guesses on what it might be?

Are signs of ageing one of your biggest skin concerns?

Well we have 2 new products coming very soon.

Want the details first? Drop me a comment and I’ll get you added into my private group.

Here’s some clues 👇🏻👇🏻 can you guess what they might include?

I became a mummy on 20th April and yesterday I put makeup on (currently a rarity)

As a new mum these are my 3 must haves from Limelife to help me look less tired 😛

❤️ Making Waves Waterproof Mascara + Concealer #3 + Am/PM Waterproof Liner ❤️

Look at the difference in this photo (full transparency I have blusher and lipstick on as well) but you can see how the concealer hides my pigmentation and uneven skin tone and how the eye products reduce redness and make me look more awake 👍
