Makeup tips for mums on the run: Hot Mama Makeover with #FashionfairUK
First night out,out since having a baby? Rubbing shoulders with ultra glam celebs when you’ve spent the past 3 months nesting and bulking up on a breastfeeding diet? Erm, No biggie then!
There was no way I was going to miss my pal James Ingham’s Jog On To Cancer annual bash, but the-fresh-off-the-school-run look was not gonna cut it! Having been on maternity leave I’d missed what’s hot right now in terms of beauty and make-up so I turned to the miracle makers @fashionfairuk at Debenhams Oxford Street for some much needed pampering.
Showing me superb tricks I could do at home as a busy working mum, makeup artist Sarah showed me her unique contour without contouring, using highlighter and blush combination to accentuate my cheekbones – and banish the double chin. Love how she made my eyes pop with a red smokey eye and eyeliner. The lips had to vampy of course to match with a deep red created from Fashion Fair’s latest summer palette of matt, moisture rich lippies. Then voila, it was off to mingle with reality TV’s finest TOWIE stars including Dan Edgar who totally owned up to being a loveable ladies man and said ‘I’m just having a good time, ’ when I joked he should never change being the resident playboy! Partying alongside the Eastenders and Geordie Shore cast it was a night to remember with golden oldies from Liberty X to Gabrielle playing anthems on the fantastic night for charity!
This mama certainly kicked up her heels for the night in my Ralph Lauren frock and Spanx ? . Who would have thought I made a quick pit stop before the red carpet to pump my boobs in the ladies before the bash. Oh the glam! ??
