The Wedding Notebook

It's always an honour and a blessing knowing that your work has been published. For me, it's such a humbling experience to be able to work with other talented, like-minded individuals and businesses in the creative industry. Sharing ideas and bringing it to life is such an accomplishment but seeing it published is more rewarding than anything. Check out the latest publication of my work where I collaborated with Qlix Photography last Autumn on a Bridal styled shoot. Thank you to all the amazing Bridal Suppliers that shared their products, service and talent to showcase a beautifully curated Bridal shoot

Depotting

Makeup artist problems #101 - how to fit everything in your kit. If you're a makeup artist you can relate to this issue 100%. What to pack, what not to pack and if you don't pack this then what can you use as an alternative to save space and weight. I know that about 30% of why I love makeup is because of the packaging, and you might agree with me on this, I mean why else do I buy Benefit blushes?

Anyway here's some pictures of what I use to depot full lipsticks into containers to save space and weight in my kit. If you'd like to try this out here's what I used;

- Empty palette (I purchased mine here but you can also check out art or sewing supply stores)

- Spatula

- Alcohol spray/wipes or cleaning spray

Some people melt it on a spoon or microwave it, I just prefer to squash mine in so the heat doesn't ruin the texture.
