Kit Essentials; Disposable applicators from VictoriaLovesBeauty.

Hey Guys!

I was sent these sample applicators absolutely ages ago & was meaning to make a video to show them to ye but kept forgetting!!
But the day I filmed this video, I had once again been asked by a customer/makeup student about where to get the disposable applicators that we have on counter in work. I wouldn't have had a clue either where these are sold, before I got into makeup professionally, but there are a few places to find them!

The website from which I received the samples is.....

Vampy Eyes & Dark Purple Lips Tutorial.


Hey Guys:)

This look was inspired partly by Hollywood Glamour but mostly by some gorgeous new products I got recently, mostly from Inglot!

Shiv's Tricks; Applying Powder Blusher!

Howdy Guys,
In my continuing effort to have super short but still information packed videos for ye along side my longer tutorials, this is the start of what will be an on-going series of "Shiv's Tricks" Videos. They will be short videos under 5 min in length sharing short & snappy makeup & beauty tips.

This first one is about how to apply Blusher without overloading the skin with colour.

I use;
Inglot Matte Blush 20
Sigma F15 Brush
Mac Mineralize SkinFinish Natural in Light



Enjoy!!

Take Care,
Siobhán.
