Friday Fave! Rosalique 3 in 1 Anti -Redness Miracle Formula

As it is Rosacea awareness month it seems only right to mention Rosalique 3 in 1 as a Friday Fave!

Rosacea is a common skin condition that can cause visible redness, dilated blood vessels and sometimes small pimples on the face. It mostly effects 30-50 year old females on the nose, cheeks and chin and can flare up with heat or cold extremes, sunlight, menopause, stress, alcohol and spicy foods.

Rosalique 3 in 1 Anti-Redness Miracle Formula, is specifically developed for redness-prone skin. It instantly conceals and covers redness as well as gently treating and protecting the skin long-term.  It contains redness reducing ingredients and is non comedogenic.

Apply a small amount of product and blend with a brush or fingertips until it adapts to your complexion. The coverage is buildable and will colour correct redness caused by inflammation, rosacea, couperose, keratosis pilaris, and general uneven skin-tone.

I personally have mild rosacea which flares up in cold weather, I have been using this product for around one month now and I really love it and will definitely be recommending it to my clients who suffer from redness.

It also contains SPF 50, UVA + UVB protection and is suitable for all skin-types.

Use daily for at least 8 weeks to achieve maximum results.

Vegan friendly and Cruelty free.

30ml RRP £29.99

Friday Fave! The Sophisticate palette

Friday Fave!

Charlotte Tilbury  - The Sophisticate palette

Unlike many of the other Charlotte Tilbury quartet palettes that have sparkles and shimmers this is a gorgeous matte eyeshadow palette consisting of cream, tan, taupe and chocolate shades.  A timeless palette of four colours for classic beauty suitable for day and evening looks.

Definitely a firm staple in my professional kit.

RRP £46.00

Friday Fave! Jones Road Miracle Balm

Friday Fave!  Jones Road - Miracle Balm.

Shade: Au Naturel

Miracle balm is available in 12 shades, I love the clear 'Au Natural' shade for all skin tones. This is described as a subtle opal pearl and will provide a light reflecting enhancing glow to the skin.

Achieve an all over glow easily - it can be worn alone, over any base and on the lips.  Not to be used on the eyes.

Break the top surface with your index finger, then warm the product in your finger tips to soften the formula before applying to the face for the perfect natural glow.

Pro tip! I like to pat on to the top of my cheekbones using my ring finger for a dewy finish to my makeup.

This balm will enhance your skin and is the secret to "no-makeup makeup" 

Bobbi Brown's clean and cruelty free beauty line 'Jones Road'  is free from sulphates, parabens and phthalates.

Available exclusively at Liberty London and online in the UK.

RRP at £36.00  

March Update!

March has been the month of a lot of pre-wedding hair and makeup trials ahead of summer and autumn weddings.  I have also been very busy holding lots of 1:1 makeup lessons and makeup workshops. It seems more and more women are wanting to learn new makeup skills and enjoy new products and I love guiding you through the process!  I have also been busy updating my pro-makeup kit researching the best new products out there so you don't have to! You can simply enjoy all the great makeup products during your appointment with me.

Make up Workshops and just some of the beautiful ladies that joined me.

Caring for my elderly toy poodle in-between clients always!

Such a beautiful day for a March wedding at https://farmhouseatredcoats.co.uk

I have been enjoying cooking up my first chicken ramen, it was so good but think I used a bit too much chicken so less next time! I followed the recipe recommendation from the recent newsletter from the lovely Kate at https://www.klcreative.net if you need branding photographs look no further!

I am currently reading Caroline Hirons 'Skin Care' book and 'Read this if you want to take great photographs'. I usually have two books on the go at any one time but find I only read snippets here and there so it takes me months to get through them which is frustrating!

I am enjoying Spring, now it is finally getting going. Roll on summer please!

Join me for my "Summer Make up Workshops" on May 10th 2-4pm /11th 11-1pm.

Held at my home studio in Harpenden, Herts in small groups of up to five.

All Makeup and tools are provided.

Expert tuition and guidance throughout.

Fizz, nibbles and a goody bag.

Limited spaces.

January Update!

January started with a nice warm break in Gran Canaria 23 Degrees of Bliss, then I retuned to minus three and bitterly cold.... I hate winter....roll on Spring!

January has seen lots of 1:1 makeup lessons and workshops at my Harpenden studio as well as bridal trials ahead of spring weddings.  I have so enjoyed meeting and chatting all things weddings to my lovely 2024 brides!  I have met some truly lovely ladies this month, it has been a real pleasure and I am very grateful to do a job that I love.

I have also taken some time out for my wellbeing by starting the year at a much slower pace as I do tend to rush around trying to do too much and then feel complete overwhelm and eventually exhaustion. I have taken time to do ignite my creativity doing some online training and reading about hair and makeup, mindset and photography all to continually develop my skills and better the service I provide to my clients. 

I am running makeup workshops throughout the year.  These are held in small groups of up to five at my home studio in Harpenden, Herts. Workshops include all makeup and tools, face chart to make notes, fizz and nibbles and a goody bag.  You will learn a natural day makeup and then how to turn it into evening makeup. I will be hands on throughout sharing my pro tips and personalised advice.  The workshops are two hours long and £50.00 per person, a booking fee of £25.00 is required to secure a space.

Upcoming Day to Evening Makeup Workshops:

February 24th 10-2pm and 2-4pm

March 15th 2-4 and 2-8pm

March 16th 10-2pm and 2-4pm

Email nikimakeup@aol.com to reserve your space!

I will release further dates throughout the year so if you can't make these dates watch this space! All dates will be advertised on my social media @nikimakeup and on my website www.nikimakeup.co.uk

I also run workshops for you and a few of your friends on bespoke dates to suit either at my studio or at a location of your choice, so do get in touch to enquire.

Wishing you all a fabulous February!
