'Back-To-Basics' Make-up Masterclass
Our ‘Back-To-Basics’ Make-up Masterclass was a 3-hour online event, which delved into all the techniques, brushes and products required to perfect your make-up routine. Alisabeth Collings (or Lissie as I call her) led the masterclass, talking us through her basic skincare routine and demonstrating the steps to achieve a natural day-time look. She also walked us through the simple steps to transform it into an evening look without removing it first. We also learnt how to correct mistakes without having to completely start again.
We covered all the steps, which brushes and kinds of techniques to achieve a natural and a heavier look. As she went along, she shared her favourite product recommendations, splurge and save. As she has years of experience using products on a daily basis and has tested and compared many brands, it was great to find out her recommendations and which to were best to invest in. I could see everyone scribbling away as she read out her favourites, including myself!
We will be hosting events like this again in the future and opening it up to face-to-face lessons when we are able to again. In the meantime if you’d like a 1-1 zoom lesson with Lissie, you can contact her via email alisabeth.collingsmakeup@gmail.com to book. The benefit being, she will be able to take a look at your make-up kit and exact techniques and advise you individually..
The next day, my daughter and I had a go at putting the techniques into practise. I had a few false starts with my foundation and had to wipe it all off twice as I looked orange and pure white; neither of which are a good look! One of the most important tips Lissie gave, was that we must gently press things in and not drag or wipe across the skin. I tried to define my eyes and contouring more accurately than before with small light movements of my brushes.
