I was browsing in Primark Oxford st and checked out their new beauty products which apparently have had a recent significent financial investment.
I was really impressed with their makeup brushes which I then bought for a transgender MTF client so she could experiment with her newly learnt makeup application techiques, taught by me, with these brilliant inexpensive makeup tools.
The brush prices ranged from £1-£2.50 and were excellent in both texture and balance between softness and firmness for application and blending away.
The key to a good make application is blending and blending away.
Its not all about countouring as seen in so many airbrushed insta MUA posts.
It’s so important to be able to blend away, especially for a trans girl who may still be covering her remaining beard growth during her laser/electrolysis/hormone treatments with layers of concealer products, foundation and powdering to set.
However blending away is important for all girls whether it’s eyeshadow, foundation, concealer or blusher.

The brushes shown here include double ended brushes:
Angled eyebrow brush
Eyeshadow and concealer brush
Apply and blend brush
Foundation and concealer brush
Powder and finish brush
And
Blender sponge
Mattifying powder
And an artist palette of eyeshadows.
Great makeup tools for starting out.
Total £29! ( i doubled up on some of the brushes for my client)

Chatting to Eddie about female insecurities. More women are waking up and putting make up on straight away and refusing to leave the house without make up on – why do women feel the pressure to look done up, and what can we do to make women feel more comfortable in their own skin?

Hosted by the very good looking and very funny Alex Zane @alexzane as seen in the selfie with me (I”m now looking like a hot and sweaty melted mess since my earlier posted pic in the hairdressers)
Alex did a Q&A with the hilarious stand up comedian Dominic Holland @dommoholland who just happens to be the dad of Spiderman Tom Holland @tomholland2013
Dominic is soon to be performing at the Edinburgh Festival.
Such a fun evening. However it was just like sitting in a sauna fully clothed. .

My last haircut till September. My hairdresser Andy’s client sitting next to me at the salon said she had dress envy. So sharing with you that my white lace dress came from Zara last summer and was on sale too.
Btw I’ve always found that for both myself and often for my lady clients age 60plus shorter haircuts that frame the face, often at jawline length, can act as an instant facelift helping us look 10 years younger.

if you watch the various video clips to the end
You will see Conchita singing Eurovision winning song Venus and on the Hovertravel float procession, the Priscilla Queen of the Desert cast with song medleys, Dolly Parton and Lady Gaga tribute acts and the completely brilliant @thedannybeard He was my highlight act of the day. So talented!
Go see him perform if you have a chance!
When I caught up with him to take his photo he was running in stripper style vertigineous 6″ heels to get to the stage as he was late. He was faster in his heels than I was in my trainers!
Was super impressed… i shall start taking walking or running in heels lessons from a drag queen! .

What a brilliant fun and happy day for everyone there and especially the organisers to have made such a big event (15k people) to have run so smoothly and successfully.
