"When Did you Start Putting on Makeup"

 

 

Well as most girls do I would play in my mum's makeup bag when she was getting ready if I was good she might have put on a 'swipe' of blush or a dab of lippy but I first started using make up (buying and using it myself) when I was about 12-13 years old I started boarding school when I turned 12 (year 8 in Australia) and my boarding school was co-ed year 8 to 12 (Australian school system) so I was surrounded by older girls who would use makeup.

 

Being in that environment I was exposed to a lot of different styles ect I remember I started to wear a tinted moisturiser (the name escapes me) 2 shadow brush, 1 blush brush  and 1 palette from Australis (a combo blush, powder, mascara, lip gloss, shadows ect) I would go to school with 1 colour shadow on my lids no primer!!! I remember my makeup being all smeared between recess and lunch!!

 

I remember my teacher would always tell me off in the morning (teacher in bold)

"channy whats school makeup policy"

"ummm no makeup"

"whats on your face"

"makeup?"

"*sigh* don't wear it tomorrow!!"

"...."

 

Those were the days ;) Clearly my obsession has grown into a passion I even remember ripping pages out of my dolly and girlfriend magazines with pretty makeup look or tips so I could try and learn them haha I had a huge folder full of them =p

 

so here is my question  to you all... When did YOU start wearing makeup?

Beauty Buzz - 2013 Beauty Trends

Hello Beautiful People

So with 2013 here the question we are all asking is what are going to be the beauty trends for this year?!?!

According to Harpers Bazaar strong full eye brows are totally in this year which it Fab as they make faces appear youthful. It also means that for younger girls the need to start plucking, waxing etc is put off for a little longer (also for us season vets we can get away with slightly longer salon time)

Neutral nails also seem to be a possibility for a big trend in 2013 so far new nail collection are a lot of neutral/pale/pastel colours a lot of photos I have seen very sheer/neutral colours are present. Try placing a light tan or a pale pink on those cute piggies ;)

Pantone announced their colour of the year  for 2013  and its emerald! I am a HUGE green fan so I was very pleased. Green is SUCH a versatile colour it suits so many skin tones/colours etc. I am very fond of using greens on clients even if its very subtle. A quick way to incorporate green into your day to day look (in a wearable way) if your not like me and happy to slather colour over your face use a green eye liner for a pop of colour or as a lower lash colour.

And Finally onto Lips according to MAC browns of all shades from warm to cool shades, hot pinks and reds are going to be big for 2013 sadly the darker colours are taking a back seat in this years predictions. The choice finish for 2013 is Matte so be well armed with lip scrubs and plenty of lip balm to keep your pouts soft and flake free. Me personally I exfoliate every second night and slather a thick layer of lip balm before bed. I also carry a lip balm with me everywhere I go for touch ups.
A cheep DIY lip scrub is to use equal parts of sugar, honey and olive oil blend well and scrub scrub scrub =)

So what do you think of the predicted trends of 2013? anything catch your eye or is there somethings that are really disappointing?
