Makeover: Jane C

Another Sunday, and another makeover (or two) today!  Please meet Jane: Jane’s great, and I think she’s one of the most naturally gorgeous people I’ve ever met, so having her volunteer for a makeover was a lovely surprise!  Jane was interested in finding out a simple look suitable for daytime, and trying out a more dramatic look too.  Here’s what we came up with – […]

Makeover: Mel

It Sunday Makeover time, and this week I was delighted to welcome along Mel: Mel’s a schoolteacher, and was looking for a simple and easy day time look that suits her colouring.  Mel actually owns a bit of very lovely makeup, but doesn’t use it very often, so I was hoping to show her how to get the most of some of the things she […]

Makeover: Sarah C – The Return

It’s Sunday, and, as always, that means it’s a makeover day Chez Lippie. Remember Sarah C? She had a pretty dramatic Theda Bara-style makeover last time, but she also wanted to learn how to use bright colours in a simple, and  subtle way.  We had a look through my entire eye-shadow collection – which took quite some time – and Sarah decided on MAC’s Humid, […]

Face of the Week – Korres

This little lot was supposed to be saved for a makeover, but when it arrived I fell in love with some of it so much that I had to give it a trial run for myself: I’ll talk more about the foundation and mascara (at the back) later, but I wanted to talk about the shadows today, they’re lovely.  I got 77s Plum (on the […]

Makeover: Donna

Meet Donna:   Donna has the most lovely eyes, but she told me that she’s got out of the habit of wearing shadow recently, and was looking to learn how to apply dramatic “winged” eyeliner.  When Donna does apply colour to her eyes she uses a lot of teals and purples, but we discussed something a bit different and decided that orange was the way […]

Makeover: Anna

Another Sunday, another makeover … please meet Anna: Anna came to me a couple of weeks ago, wanting to look more polished, and also to see how to create a smokey eye that would suit her beautiful grey-green eyes.  We decided on a neutral brown palette from Pixi to create the look around – I can’t read the name on the packaging anymore, sorry – […]

My Mini-Makeover at NARS

Whenever I’m offered a makeover in a department store, I try and take the salespeople up on it, unless the salesperson falls into one of these two categories: a) is wearing black lipliner or b) works for Benefit.  Sorry Benefit ladies, you’re all no doubt wonderful people, but I tend to come away looking like I’ve let a toddler loose on my mush face with […]

Makeover: Gillian

It’s Sunday, and that means it’s makeover day here at Get Lippie!  Meet Gillian: Gillian came to me a couple of weeks ago, wanting to look like a sexy 50’s bombshell.   Now, this is a look I happen to love, as it’s actually pretty simple and quick to put together.  First things first though, the classic bombshell look is dependent on flawless porcelain skin for […]

Makeover: Louise

This is Louise: Louise came to me wanting a classic “English Rose” look, as she wanted to look glowing, natural, and make the most of her beautiful blue eyes.  She has a make up bag full of steely greys, but after a chat, we thought something more apricot, and shimmery would be an excellent contrast. Louise has lovely skin – no pores! – and we […]

And now for something entirely different …

I have some male readers, it appears.  Hello boys! And Neville 😉 Here, for your gentlemanly delight and delectation, is a makeover featuring a gent man.  Boys can wear make up too, I’m currently trying to convince MrLippie to try guyliner, with no success, alas. Anyway, meet “M”: He’s not bad, but look at that wistful look on his face.  He knows what he’s missing: […]

Makeover: Sarah C

Something a little different this week.  Meet Sarah: Today we’re replicating a makeup we designed for Sarah a couple of months ago for a fancy dress party, and my inspiration for the look was Theda Bara. As always, we start with the base: We’ve used a mixture of foundations to match Sarah’s skin tone, then powdered it down with a smattering of Benefit Bluffdust.  Then […]

Organic Wednesday – Makeover Special!

So, something a little different this week.  As promised, every Wednesday I’ll be seeking out and reviewing organic beauty goodies, but this week I’m bringing you a makeover first, and a full review later. I’ve heard a fair bit about Plant Love over the last few weeks, and when Puresha offered to send me some of their range of cosmetics to try in a makeover, […]
