A Beautiful World

False eyelash application is one of the things that I get most frequently asked about. They are one of those things that unless you apply them regularly it is easy to get in a tizz about; I for one am much better at applying them to other people than I am to myself as I do it far more frequently - plus you can actually see what you are doing!

Festival Fun

With some amazing line-ups and mind-blowing headliners (umm hello, The Who are at Glastonbury!), this year looks like a good one to be hitting the festivals. If April's Coachella festival is anything to go by then 2015 is the year of Boho and I reckon this will be a trend that pops up repeatedly at festivals over the coming months. 

Helen Dowsley Favourites False Lashes

When it comes to creating make-up products there are few people do it better than a Make-up Artist. From Max Factor to Make-up Forever, Louise Young to Charlotte Tilbury; Make-up Artists are more often than not at the heart of a beauty brand. 

Colour, texture, feel. These are just a few of the elements which are part of developing a make-up product. Make-up Artists work with products day and and day out, seeing how the products perform and wear under every condition and on every skin type and tone; so it is understandable why so many turn to developing their own ranges.

Top Five: Cruelty Free Lashes

False lashes are big business these days and I for one am a big fan (although I rarely wear them on myself, mores the pity), but beautiful as they are, not all lashes are cruelty free (more about this in the next few weeks - believe me, writing this post opened a super-sized can of worms!)
