Happy miserable, wet, rainy Monday everybody!
I haven't posted in ABSOLUTELY AGES, so what better way to kick things off again then to do a post on the lovely day I had yesterday, at Sandra Gillen Make-Up Artistry's master class. (https://www.facebook.com/sandragillenmakeupartistry?fref=ts)
The class was held in the Pillo Hotel & Spa in Galway (https://www.facebook.com/PilloHotelandSpaGalway?fref=ts). It started at 10.30am and finished at 2.30, which was the perfect length for a class. There were 8 of us in the class, which wasan ideal number, as we all brought our own makeup and brushes, and it meant Sandra could go around and give each of us assistance in areas where we may have needed it.
Firstly, we did a day look, with simple eye shadow, liner, subtle contouring etc. After a break and a cup of tea, we were shown how to bring our day look into a darker night time look. Sandra cam around to each of us and even helped us with the dreaded liner flick, as it is different for everyone and their eye shapes. She showed us how to choose colours suitable for our eye colours, and how to apply lashes. We then chose a lipstick and blush to suit the over all look, and we were good to go. This is my finished look, excuse the posing!
I went away with a list the length of my arm of newbies to buy but I was restrained and only bought two! MAC Lipstick in "Japanese Maple" and "Harmony" Blush for countouring.
I cannot do this post without mentioning the DIVINE cupcakes we received, courtesy of Bake Me Happy (https://www.facebook.com/BakeMeHappy.ie?fref=ts) , how is it? The icing was like nothing I have ever tasted, go and put in an order now!!
We also received lovely goody bags sponsored by Feely's Pharmacy in Tuam (https://www.facebook.com/FeelysPharmacy?fref=ts) which I forgot to take a photo of - my apologies.
Below are some more photos of the set up on the day, sorry they are not great quality - really need to get a camera!
Sandra is a fantastic makeup artist, and also a brilliant teacher, she makes everything seem so easy! She is full of knowledge about practically every makeup product ever known to man kind, in all the years I have known her I have never left her without new bits of information. I picked up so so many tips through out the day and I really enjoyed the class.
I would highly recommend sending her a message and booking onto one of these courses so that you can see for yourself.
Chat soon,
