5 basic steps to great looking skin
The Annabel Hornsby hair and makeup tutorial is an easy 5 step process in achieving radiant, glowing skin. We start with a spring clean of your makeup bag and brushes. It is easy to over complicate your makeup process because there is a profusion of choices. I will teach you how to achieve a capsule range of colours that you can use for an easy day time look for work or for a "barely there" look, to an evening glamour puss make-over. Please bring your makeup bag and your brushes with you. Do not be surprised if I ask you to discard any of these items; the secret to good makeup is having the proper tools.
Need a new look?
There are many reasons why we want a new look – from changing skin tones with the seasons, to hair colour changes and the ageing process. With so many products available in the market-place it can be a mine field and not every woman is comfortable having a makeover in the middle of a department store. Makeup can appear overdone or washed out with changing skin tones. I can also help translate edgier fashion-led colours to suit you. With advice and tips from a professional makeup artist, makeup shades including the most daring of reds or vibrant of greens can be worn with confidence.
Ageing is a part of life and as we grow older our skin loses its natural elasticity and glow. Pigmentation spots develop and skin tones change. We can all get stuck in a makeup rut. However the secret to younger looking skin really is "less is more"! Most women spent their teens striving to achieve a more grown-up look with hair and makeup. As we age, the desire to look more youthful requires a reverse process with makeup application. A professional makeup artist can help you consider new colours that compliment your skin tone, the careful application of moisturiser or concealer and using primers to help iron out the fine lines. The Annabel Hornsby makeup tutorial will teach you how to perfect a more vibrant look. We can work on incorporating colour schemes for the eyes, lips and face that are appropriate for a work environment, for a casual weekend "barely there" look, or for a drop-dead glamour evening look.
New hair colour? If you have recently changed your hair colour, the chances are you will need to re-work your makeup look. We can update eye, cheek and lip colours to suit your revamped image.
Group master classes
My group makeup classes are a great fun way to discover a modern look for you and your friends. This could be for hen nights, private parties, themed parties, teen parties or prom nights. I can teach you the art of how to apply false eyelashes correctly or give spray tans. I can tailor the event to your requirements.
Teenage makeup tutorials/parties
Every young girl wants to look great but applying makeup requires skill and care. The Annabel Hornsby tutorial for teenage skin will help ensure your daughter's makeup is natural and fresh for a daytime look. For a bit of evening glamour for the prom party, I can teach your daughter some basic makeup and hair styling skills. Parties are a great and fun way to learn through a professional makeup artist. Makeup tips for camouflaging problem skin, for example, can provide a real confidence boost to teenagers.
Photographs to capture makeovers
For any of the above parties I can arrange for a photographer to attend to create a fun and fabulous shoot to round off the party with a souvenir of your makeover.
I am available to visit you at the venue of your choice. Please call to discuss a bespoke consultation.
