Hello everyone & Happy Monday! We had a great night with Charlene in our Ballina store on Thursday night, she created a fabulous look on the beautiful model Niamh (you can still catch our Facebook Live stream over on our page HERE if you missed it). You all loved the finished look on the night, and for those of you wondering, our Aimee took down all the details of the look (with some super helpful tips)! All products shown can be bought in store, some pieces are out of stock after Thursday, but will be back in store and online in a couple of weeks.

• Flormar Double Radiance Primer - Charlene applied this with the F36 brush as it deposits more evenly on the face, using fingers can waste a lot of product

• NEW Paese Double Skin Liquid to Powder foundation- good for dehydrated skin, light- medium coverage, dewy, a great one for summer months!
• F20 Blank Canvas brush used for applying foundation 1-2 coats is enough, and keep buffing in to the skin
• F36 Blank Canvas was used for buffing in to the hairline & around the nose
• Paese Yellow tone concealer was used to counteract redness shade 3&4
• Paese Pink toned concealer shades 1-6 -these concealers are very lightweight and don't cake on the skin
• Tip for covering up spots/blemishes- Draw an 'X' with your concealer over the spot and gently pat around it
• F17 was used to buff in concealer & around eye areas
• Most important tip of the night from Charlene was to apply foundation only to the face- staying away from under eye area- when you hit the bone or indents under the eye, don't apply any foundation, just concealer. The eye area is so delicate, foundations are much too heavy.

FACE:

• Sleek Face Form in Light- this contains blusher/bronzer/highlight
• Brushes used: F15 for contour/bronze
• (Always better to have a soft contour well buffed out rather than have any harsh lines on the face)
• Highlight- F04 fan brush for for a light shimmer of highlight
• F28 is a smaller headed brush, this can be used for a more dramatic highlight
• To intensify the highlighter further, a cream highlight can be added first & powder applied over.

EYES:

• Sleek A New Day palette - contains matte & shimmer mix of neutral colours
• 1st colour applied- the light warm brown all over eye socket
• 2nd- darker brown with a smaller head brush - applied in crease & under eye
• Paese Pigment shade 3 applied on the lid using the BC detailer brush
• Light shimmer from highlight or from palette (whichever you have) can be applied to inner eye corners and on brow bone.
• Sleek Dip it liner
• Kiss Lashes (NEW) in Tulip (wide range of styles available in store)
• Lashes tips: Wait about 1 minute for glue to be tacky before applying it, apply using a tweezers, pointing downwards & 'dropping' on the lash
• Sleek Brow Kit

LIPS:

• Paese Argan lipstick in #13
