Back to work makeup

I had been asked to do a tutorial on makeup for the office look and Rebecca kindly offered  herself as the model as she has been on maternity leave and just about to go back to work  which was perfect for me. I have tried to keep it simple and pretty so that women could achieve the look without too much effort in the morning, whilst juggling everything else that has to be done before you can get out the door. Remember that you don't have to use the exact products I have listed, you can always find duplicates in other ranges for most things as I know how expensive products are.  Sometimes the cheaper ranges are fine.  It is only a guide and products that I have tried that I know work well.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the tutorial..... Rebecca looks gorgeous - big thank you!

Hi Michele,

Loved the back to work make up, I felt so spiffy for the rest of the day! I am happy to report that I am back to work and have tried your technique and had really positive comments from people regarding my new make up skill and choice of colours.

Thank you so much for helping me to branch out from my many years of the same boring make up regime. You rock!

    About...

    I have been a makeup artist for over 20 yrs  and am passionate about beauty and helping women to look the best they possibly can. I believe that women are beautiful at any age , and being older myself, am constantly on the look out for products that will help the skin retain its glow and beauty.  From a very young age I have paid attention to my skin and have always gone looking for new, innovative - or even tried and true products that make a difference. I take inspiration from my friends and women I meet in my work. These women are the reason I started this blog , so that I can pass on my knowledge and help women to keep looking, and feeling amazing . I love finding new looks that inspire and you can adapt to your own style . I am also a mum with 3 boys which keeps my life very busy ... and never dull as anyone who knows me will attest to! All items posted on this blog are chosen because I have personally tried them and  like them. I hope you find something here that you will love and will work for you.
