Made Up For You

Every woman wants to be a vision of beauty on her wedding day. June is known as ‘bridal month’ and we are now offering speciality skincare and makeovers for brides alongside Made Up For You (Bridal & Special Occasion Makeup).

Whether you are part of the wedding party or attending the happy event, say ‘I DO’ to these wonderful products: 

• ‘Custom Compact‘ with selected wedding colours (ask your makeup artist for recommendations on colour).
• ‘Timewise Skincare Basics‘ for the Bride, your Bridesmaids and Mother of the Bride / Groom.
• ‘Fragrance Free Satin Hands Pampering Set‘ for soft and smooth hands (especially in the photos of your new wedding ring!).
• Limited Edition ‘Mary Kay Nail Lacquer‘ (Bridesmaids may want to wear a nail colour that coordinates with their dresses or a more natural colour such as Pink Sand. The Bride might not want to wear nail colour, opting instead for a natural look with a clear Base / Top Coat).
• ‘MK Men Skincare‘ products for the Groom, Best Man and/or Ushers.
• Bottles of ‘Mary Kay Eau de Toilette‘ in Forever Orchid for a subtle yet gorgeous bridal fragrance.
• ‘Honeymoon Survival Kit‘ (includes Indulge Soothing Eye Mask / Satin Lips Balm / Limited Edition Mary Kay SPF30 Sunscreen / Limited Edition Mary Kay After-Sun Replenishing Gel).

When conducting a makeover, the Bride may have her own unique look, but the Bridesmaids should wear the same makeup look and colours if they plan on wearing the same coloured dress. Wedding photos turn out better when people have the same makeup on!

Our product of the week for Weeks 11 and 12 are glitter eyeliners. They come in a wide range of colours and would usually be used for special occasion makeup rather than bridal. They are fun and really make a statement on your eyes! Easy to apply and you can build them up to a more dramatic look if required.

Our week 10 product of the week is Body Shop Baked-to-Last Bronzers. Simple packaging but the bronzers are very eye catching. The swirls of colour (light and dark) are guaranteed to suit everyone and compliment their skin tone. As they are baked, they last a long time and are therefore great value for money! Use with a large bronzer brush for maximum effect.

Our week 9 product of the week is Mary Kay Liquid Lip Colour.

It is like a lipstick and a lipgloss rolled into one. Colour is smooth, sheer and hardwearing. The minty fresh action helps to plump up the lips for a fuller lip line. Our favourite shade is ‘Raspberry Ice’ (shown in the picture).

With very little product needed, it is very good value for money.

*If you would like to sample a Mary Kay lipstick or lipgloss, please contact makeup artist Natasha Lythe via email:  natashalythe@gmail.com or order via the website link on our Home Page *

Our week 8 product of the week is Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Liner Pencil.

With quite a variety of colours to match many lipstick shades these glide on smoothly, keep lipstick from ‘bleeding’ into lines around the mouth and last all day. As with all pencils, don’t forget to sharpen them to get the best lip lines!

We reviewed No.7 Triple Protection Tinted Moisturiser for Boots.com before it goes on sale to the public on 23rd February 2011. The first thing we noticed was the smart packaging, an improvement on the previous tinted moisturiser (Dual Protection). Upon using the product we found the lightweight texture very smooth and creamy with a gorgeous hint of colour which matched skin tone perfectly (we used ‘Fair’ tint). It can be used on its own for a sunkissed makeup free look or in place of foundation if you don’t need the full coverage. Very little product is needed so it will last a long time and therefore extremely good value for money!

Our week 7 product of the week is Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara. Having used this quite a lot we find it separates the lashes with gorgeous colour and no clumping!! Easy to apply with the fabulous brush and when it says it makes lashes appear 80% longer, we agree! It also lasts a long time without drying out which some mascaras are prone to do.

Pigmented lightweight creams are applied before the foundation to correct skin tone:

• GREEN – counteracts redness in areas of high colouring (cheeks and nose)

• PINK/LILAC – brightens a sallow (yellowish) complexion

These colour correction creams spread easily and are used to give a general coverage. They are not suitable for masking major blemishes.

Made Up For You recommends:      Boots No.7 Colour Calming Primer (available in green & lavender)

Our Week 6 product of the week is Estée Lauder Nutritious Vita-Mineral Makeup (Foundation). It glides over the skin perfectly without clogging or streaking and, with this product, it guarantees to provide lovely nutrients for healthy skin. An SPF 10 also provides some protection in the sun. This product is more expensive but, as you only need to use a tiny amount with each application, it is well worth the extra!

Our Week 5 product of the week has to be the fantastic MAC eyshadow pallette. With 120 luxurious colours it boasts bold, shimmery and pastel shades. A lovely creamy texture allows it to glide on with no effort at all and stays crease free all day and night! Suitable for brides, party people and for just those who want to look extra special for a day/evening out. This pallette has something for everyone!
