A Taylor Swift Inspired Makeup

I am loving everything about Taylor Swift at the moment - her music, her style, her locks and her makeup. She wears a beautiful flawless makeup, never over-doing it, while rocking a red lip! 

Here is my take on one of her more glam looks - the focus is on the red lip with a little darkness on the eyes with lashes ( I haven't gone as dark as the picture). Minimise the countering and blusher and keep skin fresh & dewy.

Finalist - KFW 2015

I am delighted to tell you that I have been nominated for "Makeup Artist Of The Year" in the Kerry Fashion Week Irish Fashion Industry Awards. I am among 3 other amazing finalists and the winner will be chosen on March 6th. I am thrilled that I was chosen by judges Melanie Morris, Bairbre Power, Helen Steele & Aisling Farinella.

A glitzy, black tie ball will be held in the prestigious Europe Hotel for the awards. And I hear that Don O'Neill, Creative Director at THEIA, will be the honorary guest to present the awards. I cannot wait to meet him again!
