Mehron Detailz

Mehrons Detailz
Detailz is a great product from mehron, it’s a water base makeup line. Created to form perfect dots and intricate designs it has a fine point applicator tip.
Detaliz comes in a variety of colours, and washes off with soap and water

It is a surprisingly flexible product that can be used as an every day eyeliner or a fantastic and intricate body paint.

Detailz will definitively add that extra touch in a design and the tip is so fine that intricate and detailed work is a pleasure to do.

You can purchse Delailz online at http://www.teampixie.co.uk/ or if you live in the Bristol area you are more than welcome to collect in person .


Price £4.50 cheaper than some most eyeliners out there!!





Mehron Makeup Artist concentrates on the Detailz, liquid detailing makeup.

Wolf man make up

We went to see the new  wolf man film last weekend .
which inspired me to get out my greece paints and create this simple make up.
I used Kryolan,grease paints  but you could use any grease based make up.
The wolf man hair , hands and ear tips are all available  from my website
www.teampixie.co.uk. they are self adhesive but if you wanted to get a better edge you could use a  small  amount of spirit gum.

Alice in wonderland make up



Goldiestarling Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
Mad Hatter Makeup Tutorial
March 5, 2010 is the release date of Tim Burtons alice in wonderland Film.


I am so looking forward to seeing this film and have added a small section to the website with Alice in wonderland costumes, masks and make up.

In researching this  I discovered Goldiestarlings you tube video of the mad hatter make up.
She makes it look so easy and its such a great look for us all to do.
In the video she has used the mehron paradise palette ( basic). 
The mehron Pardise range is vast , the paradise palette s are great to use and come in tropical, metallic, pastel and basic. 
They give good coverage and bold colors, they smell of coconut and come in a silver palette with a mirror.


Please watch Goldiestarlings videos as she has also done the queen of hearts, and some very beautiful day looks with a Alice in wonderland theme.

Imats



Imats 2010

Just retuned for imats London ( the make up artist trade show) I had a great weekend with my Daughter  meeting lots of people and seeing some wonderful make up.
Highlights of the weekend for me was Bill Corso ( Oscar®- and Emmy® award-winning artist whose credits include Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events)
It was a great talk and he was so normal and down to earth. 

I also meet Koren Zander he was brilliant and gave a great talk on loose pigments, lots of tips , he even told us what he new video was all about !


As  a retailer of make up I tend not to buy anything their, but imats is a great place to catch up with friends and get to see the new products on offer for the coming year.
Below is a small selection of photos that i took over the 2 days, ( taken on the phone so not great quality)
