Voluminous, fluttery and flirty eyelashes....just what we want right? There are plenty of people, who, just like me, are not blessed with these naturally and therefore turn to companies like Eylure for help!! Instagram and Youtube are full of videos and snippets of gorgeously intricate eye makeup tutorials, generally finished with popping on some luscious … Continue reading Eyelashes ….. the Falsie Fight!

Dear Me! I'm now 35 and you're only 27. Looking to start dancing again, seeing it on the TV watching Strictly and wondering what you would be like now if you would have carried on dancing as a 7 year old in Manchester! 20 years later and as an adult it's almost more daunting to … Continue reading A letter to my younger ‘Dancing’ self
I would say that I'm in a decent routine now and apply my makeup for competition days in pretty much the same way, perhaps varying the eyeshadow colour or using a different mascara but generally this is now my look.

Back to dancing!

Day 2 - Quote of The Day My favourite quote has to be: This is a general life quote about getting out there and living despite the hard times...to learn how to stop waiting until the tough times pass, they'll pass...to get out there and live or do what you can while it's happening, that can … Continue reading #MAKEUPMUSTHAVESCHALLENGE Day 2
I've mentioned in a blog previously that just one element of dancing is looking the part. The tan, the dresses, the shoes, the hair, the bling, the makeup!! The makeup that I have used over the years for dancing has changed as I have learned what I like and don't like, what didn't look good … Continue reading Ballroom Dance Competition Makeup
