FRIDAY FAVE! NYX LIFT & Snatch!Brow Tint pen!

FRIDAY FAVE! 

NYX LIFT & Snatch! Brow Tint pen!

I seriously love this brow defining pen for my fair eyebrows to add natural shape and definition. 

It gives an instant brow lifting effect with easy to draw on fine stokes of colour to mimic real eyebrow hair.  It looks very natural once applied and lasts all day, I recommend this product.

Sadly I cannot use this in my professional kit as I cannot use the felt pen on multiple clients but I definitely recommend it if you are looking for a natural and easy way to fill in and define your eyebrows.

Available in 9 shades with a flexible micro tip pen for seamless application.  I am blond and use shade 'blond' which is perfect for me.

Pro tip! Apply in upward diagonal flicks following the shape of the brow from inner to outer corner, use a light touch to fill in sparse areas for a natural finish.

Vegan Formula.

RRP. £11.99

JANUARY UPDATE!

Bit of blue start to the year for me I spent the first week pretty ill on the sofa doing what work I felt up to with a throat virus that started on new years Eve, so New year goals and resolutions were not really even considered this year it was just back to it! I had a lovely relaxing Christmas break though which was much needed.

I have now set dates for 2025 Makeup workshops as I had quite a few of you asking about dates.  These are advertised on my website www.nikimakeup.co.uk and my social media @nikimakeup. Makeup workshops are held in small groups of up to six at my home studio in Harpenden. They are a fun way to learn a natural makeup look and tweaks to make it more evening/glam in a relaxed, friendly environment. Nibbles drinks and fizz are included and a gift before you leave.  All makeup and tools are also provided and I offer lots of my pro' tips and advice throughout the two hour session.  Spaces are limited so do book in advance a £20.00 booking fee is required, the balance of £30.00 is due one week before.  

Email nikimakeup@aol.com to reserve a space or two!










I have been keeping busy with 1:1 Makeup lessons, pre-wedding trials and a couple of shoots as well.












































I also had my first wedding of 2025 at Tewinbury Bury Farm https://www.tewinbury.co.uk, one of my favourite local venues.  It was a freezing cold day at the beginning of January but it looked picture perfect!














































I have spent a lot of time hibernating in the warm with my new pup, watching tv and eating! We enjoyed The Avicii - I'm Tim and Helmut Newton The Bad & the Beautiful documentaries on Apple TV.  The return of Dragons Den is always a must watch for me, I am just waiting for the return of The Apprentice now! January is not the month for me in fact neither is February ...note to self book a Carribean holiday for January 2026!  Anyone who knows me knows I hate winter with all my being, I belong in a warm sunny place...thanks Spain for making it harder and harder for us Brits to live there! Roll on Spring and please let us have a great summer this year after last years non-existent one and a freezing winter I think we definitely deserve it! Anyway moan over!  I am looking forward to two lovely weddings in February back at Tewinbury farm for one and at beautiful Huntsmill farm https://huntsmillweddings.co.uk for the other.  Its also my husbands birthday so we are looking forward to celebrating!
