My new Make-up Artist website...

Hey darlings,

it's an exciting day for me, my new make up artist website, alittlebeautyspot.co.uk went live today!

This is just a sneaky snapshop but I do hope you'll all go and take a look and tell me what you think?
If you know anyone who's planning on getting their make up done, please send them my way :)

Isolde

Nars Isolde instantly became my new favourite product the very first time I used it. 
I wasn't even apply it on myself, I was doing a make-up look on a model for my new website (more on that soon), and so this was a cheeky little purchase for my make-up artist kit. 
Of course I ended up dipping into it myself once I saw how stunning it was (it was bound to happen, don't judge me!).

The left shade is a gorgeous shimmery bronze-gold colour, perfect for Christmas time. I've been applying this all over the lid. Then I go into the crease with the right shade, a slightly darker, less shimmery bronze. 
The great thing about this duo (apart from the fact that there's a mirror in the compact, why don't all products do this?!), is the pigmentation. You literally need the tiniest bit on your brush and you'll get a great colour pay off. I'm hoping this means Isolde will last a long time.
Both shades in this duo have undertones of orange in, which I wasn't expecting to like on myself, man was I wrong, it's all I've been wearing.

At £24 per duo, they certainly don't come cheap, but considering the single shadows are £17 each, doesn't this count as a bargain?!
This being my first ever Nars eyeshadow purchase, I can certainly see what all the fuss is about around bloggersphere, & personally I would definitely be willing to pay it again. The only problem now is that I literally want all the shades, greedy girl.

Now I've given into the whole Nars hype, I've got my eye on the Laguna bronzer (I know the whole world seems to have this) and the Copacabana highlighter, I think they'll both be making it onto my Christmas wish list.

Have you tried Nars Isolde before? What are your favourite Nars products? Please feel free to recommend me any other duo shades or products too :)

Youtube#8 What's in my make-up artist kit so far?

Hey guys, 
after a few of you have asked if I'd film a video showing you what's in my make-up artist kit so far. So here we are! I hope you enjoy it :) I'm off to a cartoon museum now, what are you all up to today? 

Youtube#7 Vlog catch up, Louise Constad make-up artist course

Morning everyone, Mondays' are tough huh?

We walked into work this morning. I love seeing London in the Autumn mornings, walking all along embankment, past Parliament and Big Ben, it's a pretty good way to wake yourself up in the morning.

I'm back in the office today, and it does feel a little strange not applying make-up to models hehe.

Anyway, if you missed my vlog last night over on my Youtube channel, here it is. I'm just blabbing on about my make-up artist course, I hope you enjoy it :)

Youtube#6 Vlog Louise Constad make-up artist training, day 1

 

Hey lovely readers, just a quick one because I am zonked, and I need to do my Vogue homework (geek). 
I look so exhausted in this video, so sorry about that. I literally just got home and started filming, I haven't touched up my own make-up all day! Too busy practising on the models to even look in the mirror at myself.

I thought I'd do a little vlog each night of my Louise Constad make-up artist course to let you all know how it's all going. 
The first day has been incredible, I feel like I've soaked up so much information my brain is fried. Early night for me I think! I literally can't wait to go back in tomorrow and learn more. 
I'm planning on doing some tutorials for you guys, once I've got a bit more practising done and I feel like I'm actually good!

Have you ever done a make up course before?
