Make Up For Ever Brush Launch

This week I went along to Make Up For Ever and attended the launch for the new make up brushes.

Not only was the wonderful Annie Gribbin there to start the evening off with an introduction to all the new Aqua and HD ranges she introduced the Master class with International Pro Trainer and Makeup Artist LAILA FRIEDLI.

mufebrush4

Laila has over 10 years experience in the makeup industry based in both Paris & Switzerland.

Her natural talent was discovered by Dany Sanz whilst she was a makeup student at the MAKE UP FOR EVER Academy in Paris. She then became Dany’s protege and went on to become a brand ambassador training pro-artists all over the world. Laila was an inspiration and as I was out on a school night unfortunately I didn’t get to see the make up look before I left. Few pics of the make up Laila demonstrated using HD & Aqua ranges can be seen here or go on to site to see more.

Make Up For Ever Brush Launch05

Teodora Sutra

Teodora Sutra is undoubtedly one of my favourite models and I just loved chatting with her about Make up, skin care & even a little fashion.

Teodora is represented by 1st Options and is one of their busiest models, with bookings here and abroad, so I was very excited when she agreed to an interview and here it is for you to get a glimpse inside her beautiful world.

Hi Teodora, What skin care regime do you use morning & evening?

Every morning I wash my face with cold water, then cleanse with Vichy Purete Thermale calming cleansing solution, then I use La Roche-Posay soothing toner for sensitive skin & finish off by moisturising my face with La Roche-posays toleriane ultra face cream, which Is made for allergy prone skin. In the evening I would do the same but instead of the face cream I would use Weleda’s skin food face cream. I like using skin care that is as natural as possible.

Do you use moisturise? If so what do you use? Weleda’s skin food & La Roche-Posay

Do you have a must have skin care item? Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream! Love it.

What is your favourite beauty treatment ? I love getting microdermabrasion treatments when I go to Latvia.

Favourite foundation? Mac face & body

Favourite make up brand? Mac

Can’t live without? 8 hour cream & Rimmel mascara.

Love product? Good face cream

If you had €200 what skin care or make up would you purchase? shu uemura cleansing skin care & face oils.

Does make up change how you feel about yourself?

It makes me feel more confident on days when I have a bad skin day I don’t like wearing a lot of make up but nice brows, mascara & a little concealer I like!

And lastly what’s your favourite make up look? Natural & glowy skin, Also low the bare eye & strong lip look!

Designer or high street clothes? I think a mixture of both! But I love high street.

Do you have a favourite Irish designer? I have a few!! I’m in love with Umit Kutluk pieces & gowns, so elegant!! & new young designer on the scene called Claire Lynam.

Favourite high street store? Zara.

Who inspires you in fashion? My work

Clarins Eyeshadow Palette

Clarins Have Just released an eyeshadow palette which will rival urban decay’s Naked Palette and I have to say I am so far very impressed.

Clarins Eyeshadow Palette - 01

I have used the Naked Palette so much I am on my 2nd one in my Kit.

Clarins description of the Palette “Beige, taupe and brown are featured in a harmony of 10 eye shadows which bring out the beauty of women’s eyes while supporting human rights and the environment.”

This palette was created as part of an initiative to minimise our environmental impact: it features carefully selected materials and reusable packaging.

In addition to beautifying eyes, Clarins has joined forces with Pur Projet and has committed to planting 10,000 trees for medical or cosmetic use, which will help revive the Kuntanawa culture (Amazon). – See more here

Suzanne Jackson

Suzanne Jackson has worked so hard to achieve every bit of success and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate her on her recently published book.

Suzanne Jackson - 01Suzanne Jackson - 02Suzanne Jackson - 03

 

I had the pleasure of working with Suzanne on a shoot for Valentines Day in the Sunday World Magazine and even then it was apparent that there was just something special about Suzanne.

Suzanne’s Daily Blog on Fashion,Beauty and Make up shot her to fame and now Suzanne also regularly does Make up Videos which can be viewed on YouTube.

Suzanne Jackson - 04Suzanne Jackson - 05Suzanne Jackson - 06

 

Suzanne is in my opinion a beautiful person who is driven,strong,ambitious, professional and grounded. A great role model for young ladies.

And I am so proud to know Suzanne and wish her all the best with the Book and her upcoming TV career.

Water Wipes – A kit essential

I’m loving using these wipes on set,at shoots,weddings and because they are natural and suitable for sensitive skin I’ve even been using them at home on my daughter too! Great for removing make up, taking the bulk from make up brushes before using brush cleaner(economical).

Ann-Marie Carey Makeup - Ireland - Dublin - 02

Perfect bed side table essential for those late nights when you are too tired to do your skin care regime in your bathroom. A swipe with a Water Wipe will remove your make up so you can sleep guilt free and avoid waking up with the panda eye look!

Ann-Marie Carey Makeup - Ireland - Dublin - 01Ann-Marie Carey Makeup - Ireland - Dublin - 03

 

Water Wipes are made in Ireland so that’s another reason to try them for yourself.

Water Wipes are available in supermarkets and pharmacies throughout the country.

Bella Pierre Make Up Review

For the past few weeks I have been using these gorgeous products on clients on shoots,weddings and debs make up applications.

And it’s safe to say that I am in love with them.

The mineral foundations are so soft and light on skin and I was surprised by the coverage that can be achieved when using my Blank Canvas foundation buffer brush to apply it.

The loose powder blushes and bronzers are so pretty, the colours are so universal and I’m loving Autumn Glow applied to apples of cheeks with my Real Techniques blusher brush, it gives a flush of youthful colour to the base and lifts even the tiredest of my clients.

Bella Pierre Make Up Review - 01 Bella Pierre Make Up Review - 02 Bella Pierre Make Up Review - 03 Bella Pierre Make Up Review - 04 Bella Pierre Make Up Review - 05

 

The Catwalk lipstick is so fantastic to have in my kit as the colour suits everyone and when the clear Bella Pierre gloss is added I achieve the most kissable youthful lips on each client.

The eye shadow powder stack is just brilliant and I especially love the range of colours and “champagne” is just so beautiful when applied to inner eyelid to make any accompanying eye shadow pop!

The fact that these products have absolutely no chemicals is even more reason to have them in my vast kit of Make Up and I will say it again I love them!

Real Techniques Make up Brushes

Great quality Make up Brushes are vital when it comes to applying make up. It’s the difference between shedding hairs on your models faces or scratchy harshness from cheap bad quality brushes. I have a vast array of brushes in my kit from Mac Cosmetics, Smashbox and Shu Eumura and have just had the opportunity to try these beauties from Sam Chapman’s Real Techniques range which are available on line or in Boots stores.

Real-Techniques-Ann-Marie-Carey-Makeup-Ireland-Dublin-011-150x150

The softness, bristle quality and durability is so great even after constant washing and cleaning they still look brand new.

Clients have mentioned how lovely the brushes feel against their skin and I’ve had emails asking about them.

Laura Scanlon talks to Ann-Marie Carey Makeup - 02Laura Scanlon talks to Ann-Marie Carey Makeup - 04

 

What skin care regime do you use morning & evening?
I always cleanse, tone and moisturise morning and night, I love simple & nivea products and I use a serum from Aldi under my moisturiser it’s amazing!

Do you have a must have skin care item?
My must have item would be sudocream for any blemishes.
What is your favourite beauty treatment ?
 I like to get my eyebrows threaded for that clean look, although it hurts like hell

Favourite foundation?
I use mac foundation for nights out but I usually wear Garnier BB cream during the day.

Favourite make up brand?
I love MAC foundations and lipsticks and then I use Urban Decay Naked eyeshadows.
Can’t live without?
Can’t live without mascara, feel naked without it, I use Loreal Teloscopic. I love Prada perfumes, especially the new Prada Candy!

If you had €200 what skin care or make up would you purchase?
If I had 200e to spend I’d buy a variety of mac and Urban Decay make up.

 I love a strong smokey eye and nude lip on a night out!

Daniella Moyles talks to Ann-Marie Carey Makeup

Daniella Moyles, One of Irelands most popular top models, T.V. presenter & a beautiful person who has just been signed by Hollywood agency Octagon takes time out of her hectic schedule before leaving for the states to tell me her secrets!

Daniella Moyles talks to Ann-Marie Carey Makeup - 01Daniella Moyles talks to Ann-Marie Carey Makeup - 02

 

What skin care regime do you use morning & evening?
I’m pretty disciplined when it comes to my skincare regime, my Mum works for a beauty salon so I have been well trained to cleanse, tone and moisturize every morning and evening. I also use an eye cream at night and try to use a face scrub once a week and a face mask once a fortnight.

Do you use moisturiser? If so what do you use?
I do, I don’t have a particular favourite brand though. Generally once there fragrance free and use natural ingredients I’m happy. At the moment I’m using a moisturizer I bought at the blue lagoon in Iceland, it’s incredible.

Do you have a must have skin care item?
E45 cream, so simple but so brilliant. I use it all over after every shower, and it’s great for your face too if your skin is irritated after a day of makeup.

What is your favourite beauty treatment ?
Microdermabrasion. I get one every 6-8 weeks at Ealu Spa in Naas. It is a wonder treatment!

Favourite foundation?
MAC face and body, I don’t like makeup that is too thick with very strong coverage. Face and body is light and blends really well into the skin for a really natural finish. Any blemishes can be gone over then with concealer.

Favourite make up brand?
I’m a creature of habit so definitely MAC although I do love NARS too and Rimmel for really affordable great eyeliners, mascaras and lip pencils! That’s more than one…

Can’t live without?
Brow powder. I’ve had an eyebrow obsession for coming up to 4 years now. I started growing mine out about 4 years ago when I realized they were a really unflattering shape, I got a brochure for a spa close to where I live and slowly shaped them myself to look like the girl who was on the cover of it. Now I really appreciate a good set of brows and couldn’t live without them filled to perfection.

Love product?
GloThreaputics – amazing!

Leave product?
Pan Stick/blue eyeshadow, close call between the two.

If you had €200 what skin care or make up would you purchase?
I would probably pick up a nice pot of creme de la mer and stay forever young.

Does make up change how you feel about yourself?
I love nothing more than going makeup free, in fact makeup reminds me of work mostly. I used to love spending an hour or so doing my makeup to go out but now the second I start applying I can’t wait to be finished. I love makeup but its become a bit of a chore.

And lastly what’s your favourite make up look?
Anything with a red lip.

What skin care regime do you use morning & evening?

My skin Care Regime….Cleanse, with Clinique facial soap….rinse with very cold water then moisturise with Bio Oil Skincare. I’d then apply my Tan Organic to give a natural tan.

Do you use moisturise? If so what do you use?

I use Bio Oil Skincare as my facial and Body moisturiser.

Do you have a must have skin care item?

I swear by Bio Oil Skincare. Couldn’t be without it! It’s even great for using under make up. I would apply it, leave it dry for half hour then apply my make up.

What is your favourite beauty treatment ?

My favourite Skincare treatment would be Facial peels.

Favourite foundation?

My favourite foundation would be Mac Studio Fix Fluid & Bio Fresh mineral make up.

Favourite make up brand?

Mac, Clarins, Bio Fresh & Clinique are my favourite brands.

I can’t live without Bio Oil, Bio Fresh & Mascara!

Love product?

I love Clinique Dramatically Different moisturising gel & Bio Fresh Anti Ageing Serum along with Great Length hair extensions.

Leave product?

I’d leave lipsticks rather use a nice natural lip balm!!

If you had €200 what skin care or make up would you purchase?

If I had €200 it would be mix n match between gorgeous clothes at Amanda Kevlin Fashion house in Naas, Mac foundations ,Korky’s shoes, Clarins Skincare & Bio Fresh products.

Does make up change how you feel about yourself?

Absolutely….It definitely has that feel good factor, when your going out you feel much more confident!

Herbal Life review

This gorgeous little bottle of Herbal Life came in the post for me to try and I love it!
It’s scent is gorgeous and so refreshing straight after you wake up, after you shower, in the car, sitting at your desk or before you head out for a night out!

herbal life face quencher

 

What i love about these refreshing sprays or spritzers is that they redeem moisture back into my skin if I’ve been in an air conditioned or heated environment and they relive the tightness related to dry or dehydrated skin. Clients and brides love a little spray as part of the make up application process and this is going to be a welcome addition to my kit now.

Here’s the low down from Herbal Life:
Spritz on Radiant C Face Quencher to instantly cool and refresh water-starved skin. It’s a refreshing, fragrant, burst of moisture that acts like a natural “air conditioner.” It’s water-based so it won’t harm hairstyles or clothing, and it actually helps make-up stay fresher-looking.
