Showcasing Avon's Distillery Range at the Northern Wedding Show
Late last year I was asked to head up a make-up team for the latest Northern Wedding Show by Belle Bridal. This year's partner for the show and demonstrations was Avon. They might not be everyone's first thought when it comes to bridal make-up, but with their new range Distillery it would be an oversight not to consider them for your big day's look. Distillery is all about clean living, creating beautiful products with out compromising the planet with their vegan ingredients, ethical mindset and eco conscious packaging choices. With...
A well timed package...
Just before heading off for a month of fashion shows I was delighted to receive a parcel in the post with some new goodies for me to test on my travels.

There are so many concealers on the market that can just make the area look worse, so I do hear so many women saying “why bother”.
To those having issues, or those just looking to try something new, try the 'Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer'.
There are 16 shades to choose from so if you struggle to decide online to purchase the right shade pop into one of her counters...
