I love Sundays at Lippie Towers, every week there’s a different person here for a makeover, and it’s always fun figuring out how a person wants to look, and seeing if I can recreate that look for them. Please meet Helen: Two Helens in two weeks! Helen is a very pretty girl, who wanted to learn more about applying foundation, and using colour. As you’ll […]
I love mascara. Specifically, I love Lancome Hypnose, and Lancome Hypnose Drama (though the brush on that one drives me a bit bonkers, if I’m being really honest), I’ve tried other mascaras, but for me, nothing really comes close. Clarins recently ran a giveaway on their Facebook page, and I was lucky enough to win a sample sized tube, and, I have to say, it’s […]
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.

Meet Jane: Jane is a good friend of mine, and she’s kindly agreed to be my first model in my makeover series. Jane’s 47, works in a University, and has amazing bone structure. Ordinarily, Jane doesn’t wear much make-up beyond a touch of mascara and some Vaseline on her lips, and today we are going to create a glamorous and sophisticated evening look. The first […]
