Masterclass in Inglot Liffey Valley with MUA Avril and Enisa
14:50:00
Hey Hey
If you ever sit in the office on your lunch break and scan
through Facebook and see an Inglot masterclass coming up close to you... Listen
to that inner voice and get there, they are without a doubt, one of the best
ways to learn to create flawless look and it’s FREE!!!
This was my second time meeting Avril in Liffey Valley but I
have been linking in with her a little through Facebook planning my shopping
list in Inglot (which we’ll discuss more later) I really like Avril, her laid
back relaxed personality makes it very easy to listen to her and watch her
create an amazing look. She is very friendly and so welcoming, remembering
people (like me) who have been at her classes before, interacting with them and
checking out the hints and tips she gave to them last time offering more help
after the class if they need it.
The classes are open to everyone and as I said before FREE
so really you have no excuse! If you don’t live in Dublin or Limerick and don’t
have access to an Inglot store be sure to like them on Facebook.
Tonight’s look in Inglot was a sort of Egyptian look on
Enisa, a stunning MUA who also works in the Liffey Valley store. Both Avril and
Enisa have their own Facebook pages and you can see the amazing work they
create here;
So as always when working with loose shadows, it’s best to
start with your eyes first...
Apply an eye shadow base (Inglot no.1) onto the eye using a
concealer brush. This costs €10. This does not need to be perfect, blend out
the primer using the 6SS brush. This brush costs €20. A primer like this will
neutralise the eye lid and will hold your shadow to the lid also intensifies
colour.
Avril then applied Gel Liner no.95 fron the Nobel collection
onto the inner half of the eye ysing a 28PO flat brush. You only need to use a
tiny amount of this product. Yes I know what you’re thinking, gel liner as an
eye shadow but it is amazing!
On top of this, Avril applied no.43 Bronze Gold shadow
pressed on top of the gel liner. This alters the colour and makes it stand out.
Taking again the 6SS brush with no.337 Soft Brown Eye
shadow, apply to the crease and brow bone. This soft brown is your transition
colour. A swift light over and back circular movement is best for blending.
Start at the outer corner, leaving most of the product there and sweep in
towards the inner eye. Depending on the size of your own eye, your client’s eye
will determine how high you take your transition colour. Enisa has beautiful
big eyes so Avril was able to take it quite high.
The next step in this beautiful look was to apply your gel
black liner to then see how much of a darker brown colour you need to apply on
the outer corner of the eye. Funnily enough, some people can be quite anxious
when it comes to applying liner so take your time and a good tip Avril says, is
to get your client to look in the opposite direction of where you were applying
the liner. Avril applied the black liner with the 17TL brush. This is actually
a brow brush, but it creates a beautiful line for liner. Using black gel liner
can be difficult for people, so take your time at it. You can take it in stages
and when creating your flick, mark out where you want the flick to be by
placing the brush onto your eye and then fill it back in. You can clean up the flick line with
concealer and a small brush. Squeeze the concealer brush to make it flat and
fanned out and tidy the line. A note on liner for this look, the top lash line
is lined all the way into to the inner corner of the eye.
Next Avril took gel liner no87 Teal onto the waterline using
a 31T brush. All gel liners are fully waterproof and retail at €15. After this,
clean your 31T brush of all the gel and then apply no504 Purple shadow as close
to the lash line as possible. This teal shadow is a double sparkle shadow and
is truly beautiful. Again with the waterline and the lash line, ask your client
which way to look to ensure you can apply the colours properly.
Back to the top of the eye... Apply no.239 Dark Brown onto
the outer corner using a 10S small shadow brush and then blend it out using the
6SS brush. Next taking no.63 Black, apply just where the eyeliner is on the
outer eye and with another 6SS brush blend both the dark brown and the black
together.
Go back in with your gold on the lid again if needed.
Clean up the under eye area with a cotton bud. Remember, you
still haven’t applied any foundation so don’t worry too much about the fall
off.
Wipe off your teal gel/shadow from the 31T brush and now
apply no.325 matte pruple right under the wing and onto the lash line.
Taking the pencil brush 8THP, blend the purple into the lash
line more to intensify.
Now that all your shadows are applied, you may want to go
back in with your black gel liner and tidy up your flick.
*Ladies, makeup applications take some serious time, so
don’t worry if you feel you are taking ages, I am only now getting used to my
blending and this can still take up to an hour or over to get a full face done.
You’re eyes should look similar but they do not need to look the exact same. So
don’t panic!*
Mascara: This was very interesting, for this look, Avril
applied Colour play green mascara €10 to the bottom lash line only.
Lashes: 14N lashes were applied to Enisa and these were
fantastic! They really set off the look, they have a thin band which make it
easier to apply directly to the lashes and yet look extremely full. These lashes
are €12 and will be on my shopping list for sure. You should get 5-6 wears out
of a set of lashes with good care so they are a great investment. When removing
lashes from their packaging, with your thumb, push the lashes down off the
mould, do not peel them as this can damage them and they can lose their shape. Use Duo Glue when it comes to lashes, you know
my thoughts on this stuff, it’s really the only thing good enough to put on
your eyes.
Face: Avril applied
YSM 49 to Enisa. The YSM foundation is for people with more normal to oily skin
and on a recent match without tan I would be a 41 (again on the shopping list,
it’s getting big now) This foundation is good for coverage, it’s a demi-matte
foundation and won’t flash off cameras. Avril applied this with a flat
foundation brush 21T and then taking a 4SS brush, buffed it out. This 4SS brush
is actually an eye brush but works perfectly for creating a flawless finish to
the face. If you do have oily skin be sure to use a primer before. Leave your
foundation to settle onto your skin first before your apply powder and this can
make the powder very cakey.
Avril moved onto Enisa’s brows while the foundation set.
Enisa has amazing brows, really beautiful. Using the no.329 brown eye shadow
and the 17TL brow brush, start with under the brow, drawing the line very
straight and then flick the shadow up through the brow to fill them in.
To highlight the brow bone, Avril mixed shadows 395 and 330.
Concealing under the eyes can brighten a look if the client
has dark circles, for this look as your eyes are aleady done, you can match
your concealer to your foundation to be sure you get right up to the eye shadow
in coverage. Avril used no96 under eye concealer which retails at €15. Buff the
concealer under the eye with the same
4SS brush you used with the foundation. Use a peach toned concealer if you have
dark circles as it will neutralise the blue/dark skin tones.
Once your foundation has now set you can see where you might
need setting powder. Avril used setting powder no.15 on Enisa using a 1SS brush
and placing it on the ‘magic triangle’. This area starts between the eyes, down
onto the apply of the cheeks, the nose and down to the chin.
No.79 Rainbow Bronzer was used to contour the hollow of the
cheeks and forehead using the 15BJF brush. To find the hollow of your cheek you
can either pull a ‘fish face’ or roll your brush down your cheek and into the
hollow, the hollow is where you contour.
The blush used for this look was no.32 which is €9 as a
single. Apply this to just the apple of the cheek lightly.
The highlighter was the fantastic Sparkle dust no.2 which
you only ever need a tiny amount of, the shimmer is beautiful. This is €18 and
I will own it soon! The brush used for this was the 15BJF.
The lip was applied using the lip duo no.30. The duo
consists of a stain and a gloss. It is a beautiful product and set off the look
perfectly.
This look appears to
be so difficult and when I first saw the add about the masterclass I didn’t
know if I would go as I thought ‘way too advanced’ for me but Avril and Enisa
explained it so easily that I think now with these instructions, it’s something
I could try take on myself.
As I said at the start of the post, my shopping list will be
completed over the next 3 weeks as I start my beginners makeup course in Inglot
Blanchardstown tomorrow night. I am so excited for this and will have fully
detailed blog posts on all I learn, new products and hopefully creating a fab
look on a model, the last night.
