The main objective of eye makeup is to accentuate and define the eyes. As a make-up artist you must consider accentuating eye shape and colour. Today I will deal with eye colour, accentuating different eye shapes is a whole other day’s work…or weeks! When choosing colours for a clients...

I bought this Urban Decay Travel Size Set of Five set last week on ebay for 10euro, a bargain! I was delighted when they arrived this morning. I can’t wait to try them. I don’t think this set is avialable anymore but there are quite a few of them on ebay. The set includes Lucky...

One of my lovely subscribers recently asked me to recommend some good matte shadows. I decided to dedicate a post to matte shadows since they are often left out.
