Pucker up! Orange is the new red for 2014

Happy New Year Everyone!

2014 is a way to start a fresh, new moon, new ideas, fresh focus, right? Well that's how we all aim to start off after the big celebrations with a "new me" regime.
Colour and make up this season gives you a reason to fall in love all over again with your make up bag. Colours are bright, and bold with a hint of nude tones thrown in for good measure.

Citrus Orange is the new red for those puckered lips....skin tones will determine which shade of orange you chose.

Skin complexion this year is all about clear complexion, perfection with creamy luminous products that look natural and bare. So guys and gals, get that exfoliator out now and have a good overall scrub to get the skin glowing and feeling wonderful. Microdermabrasion facials with help get a good overall deep exfoliation and eliminate blockages and uneven skin tone. In between this salon treatment you can do a weekly scrub at home whilst relaxing in a bubbly bath with of course lots of scented candles!

Citrus orange lips is a bold look, so you need to make sure you get the overall look right. With less is more on the eyes and the rest of the make up applied. Bold brows, minimal colour on eyes, good mascara application to define the natural eyes and highlighting and contour on cheeks, finish the look with bold, well applied lips. No lip bleeding lipstick, correct matching lip liner is a must to complete the bold look.
Matt effect for bold colours looks classic and expensive. I would recommend lots of applications using a good lip brush to work the colour into the lips, with blotting in between and a fine layer of translucent powder to seal. Wear this colour to show you mean business,. Its about girl power with attitude for 2014!

Enjoy practicing this overall look and be hot off the catwalk when you wear this with nude nails and geometric nail art designs....go woo the crowds! Check out my YouTube videos well

Fake Tanning: Manual V Spray

Firstly, just to clarify the differences between the two types of fake tanning. Manual tanning is applied directly onto and into the skin that has been prepared usually in a cream or lotion format and then is allowed to develop.Spray tan is applied using a compressor type air gun and is applied in a very fine mist in a liquid format and sits onto the skin until it soaks in and then develops. Manual tanning has made a big come from in recent times. Whilst previously it was all about spray tanning treatments for numerous reasons: quickness of the treatment, even application and less product generally used. But with clients wanting to come to the salon, or treatment area and enjoy a full treatment that involves them giving up an hour or so of their time. This has really helped the manual tan application see a big come back hit! From my experience of learning many moons ago the application of manual tanning before spray tan was even out there....I know myself, I wasn't too kee

Faceframe 3D Eyebrows: taking the beauty industry by storm!

Having done a lot of extensive research about brow extensions over the past few months. I came across this brand FaceFrame3D. What excited me the most was that they have won an invention award for the concept of this brow treatment. Plus it's a UK designed product. If, like me, you like to go for new treatments to add to your salon menus. This is definitely going to blow you and your clients away. I watched a couple of the YouTube videos and was hooked! I did look around at other brands and designs. But it kept coming right back to this company. The training is all fully accredited with BABTAC and therefore recognised within the industry. It's not the cheapest out there. But then I am not always sure that cheapest is best. You do definitely get what you pay for in this world. What is Faceframe3D? It is a simple concept of applying synthetic individual hairs that are adhered to the skin to create a 3-dimensional eyebrow can last up to 2 weeks depending on the afterca

Failing to prepare, is to preparing to fail: GCSE VTCT Ten Recommendations

I wanted to put together a guidance list of the ten points that I have learnt along my journey teaching this GCSE qualification in order to help support, guide and assist anyone who is about to start teaching this qualification, considering teaching it, or is currently teaching it and needing some additional guidance from someone who has hands on experience. These are my own personal points and by no means set in stone. So please use them as they were intended to be, as a help list. PREPARE: Now I know this might sound a bit of an obvious point as teachers and educators we are always having to think two steps ahead. But by this I mean have your unit scenarios printed for each learner. Have spaces up on your displays so they can collect them if they have lost theirs (students do love to forget things). Have grade descriptors for the unit printed and if they have them glue them into their books so you can mark as you go along and the students know instantly what grade they are
