April Update!

Wedding season is now in full swing and I have been busy doing lots of Bridal trials ahead of summer and autumn weddings.  I specialise in makeup but I am also trained in hairstyling and have had quite a lot of hair and makeup trials recently as well.  Below are some of my iPhone shots of my work.  To see my professional portfolio of Brides please see my website www.nikimakeup.co.uk
I still have some available dates throughout 2018 and I am also taking bookings for 2019, if you would like to reserve a wedding date with me do get in touch soon, I look forward to hearing from you.

Friday Fave! - Label.M Texturising Volume Spray

I love this product, it is a firm staple in my professional hair kit and I have been using it for the last few years.

It is a dry mist that creates instant textured height and volume to the hair. It has a dry shampoo texture with the hold of a hairspray and is not sticky.

I apply it at the roots of the hair and then use either my fingers to massage and lift the hair or a comb to back comb for more volume.  I have used it on short, medium and long hair styles and on both fine and thick hair and the result is consistently good.  A little goes a long way, don't use too much just one short blast is sufficient.

If you are looking to achieve volume and body in your hairstyle then this is the product for you!

Friday Fave: Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector

BECCA Under Eye Brightening Corrector gets a thumbs up from me!

Relatively new to my professional kit I have been using this for the last couple of months and I am liking the results!

This creamy corrector banishes under eye darkness by brightening under the eyes and correcting the skin tone. It does not settle in fine lines and wrinkles and prepares skin beautifully for concealer.
A creamy consistency that offers perfect coverage and illumination to the under eye area.

Available in two shades Light to Medium and Medium to Dark.

Simply pat on using fingertips or apply with a synthetic haired makeup brush.  I like to blend this pink toned camouflage into the skin using my ring finger to neutralise any darkness, it blends and melts into skin effortlessly.

To prevent the product from drying out keep the cap tightly closed.
