How do you know which ‘experts’ you can trust, or who is just trying to get a sale? That’s where Makeup Doctor comes in. If you’re looking for a makeup artist, sales person or beauty magician, that’s not me. But if you want a personalised one to one makeup coach

What’s the oldest product you own??

Step into my ‘archives’ and see what mine is….
I recon it’s Circa 2000 ish 🤔

No I don’t condone keeping old products if they have passed their sell by but this one was a little bit different 🤪

What were you too attached to throw away? I’m dying to know….

I DO THIS IN EVERY PLACE I VISIT AROUND THE 🌎

I can promise you Italians have a different complexion to us but it’s no surprise to discover this!!

This is the power of influencer marketing and social media 😮 I’m not surprised really but it does make me a little sad. It feels to me like we just want a one face fits all cookie cutter model for makeup 🤷🏽‍♀️

Let’s start choosing products because they suit/work for us not because it’s trending or hyped up.
Trending doesn’t = right

Foundation doesn’t need to go here!

It’s like painting the house right?
You start with one skirting board and then you’re doing the arcs, door and walls and off into other rooms…. I get it but if you have the right shade of foundation we don’t need to put it over the other areas to make them match 💭
Not to mention all the clothes we end up with endless foundation marks on 🤪

Struggling with concealer coverage?
It may not be your concealer it may be your method.
The most common thing I see in sessions is rubbing concealer which almost ‘breaks it up’
Think about it like this - when you butter toast you move the knife gently over the bread to get an even distribution, press too firmly and you’ll break through the butter or worse the bread….
We don’t want to break through the concealer we just want a ‘thin layer’ onto skin.
PATTING with get you that result:
•better coverage
•easier to layer
•doesn’t crease the same
•coast feel ‘heavy’

Give it a try (obviously the concealer being the right shade and the right type for you will help even further but this should be a great start.

All the ‘Ickes’ and eye rolls for these…

Yes I know I love to ‘de influence’ because more than half of the products my clients have in their makeup bags don’t work for them and cost a bomb!

I’m just sick of the BS being served up in the name of creating ‘content’. I’m no eco warrior but the waste this generates the endless loops of buying crap that doesn’t work is unnecessary.

When my clients get to me they’ve pretty much tried lots of different things to no avail, and tend to feel a bit skeptical that change is even possible….

I know this because I work with ‘real women’ and help them make those changes to improve skin and makeup because I help them understand their own needs (not the influencers).
If it was just a list of set products I’d just give one out! But it it’s so much more…. It’s what you use, how you use it, where and what with IT ALL WORKS TOGETHER!

I could give you a list of all the best products for you but without the insight of what you need to do with them you’d never get the actual result.

So please if you do one thing today know THERE IS ANOTHER WAY to improve skin and makeup and this is exactly what I do. I coach you through it. And get you RESULTS the ones you didn’t realise were possible.

BUYING A PRODUCT AND THEN IT BEING DISCONTINUED❌😵

Because all your 1:1 recommendations are selected carefully with your needs and all your products in mind, this is one that really ‘bugs me’ and you imagine 😆

But when you’ve been working with me, using your new methods and products and seeing the results it’s really important that’s we don’t just buy ‘whatever’ to put us on for now (as that now can become a long time, I’ve been there😂).

If this happens to you you the product I recommended for you becomes discontinued… just ask me via our ‘makeup chat’ and I will be more than happy to give you an alternative.

What products are we still missing??

Dear beauty brands please stop discontinuing products we love 🙏🏼 🙃

WHAT ORDER SHOULD SPF GO IN???
There is always some confusion around where SPF goes in your makeup routine.
LET ME EXPLAIN ⬆️
There is a reason behind everything I suggest….
1. Moisturise - there is no point in using your skincare if it isn’t allowed to do its job with skin hence why it makes contact with skin fully.
2. SPF - this is adding a protective layer to skin so needs to be on top of moisturiser
3. PRIMER - this stops the oils/ water/ grease breaking up your foundation/base and other makeup products and puts in a barrier between them hence why it goes on last

DON’T FORGET - UVA AND UVB PROTECTION IN YOUR SPF

Things people say to me before they book for their session:
• I’ve done the same makeup since I was a teen
• my skins changed, not sure if it’s because I’m older
• I just feel like I look tired and dull
• I just don’t know what I’m doing

Who can relate?!
It’s not you the world of beauty is overwhelming and that’s exactly what I’m here to do break it down and make it simple for you so you look good, feel better and improve skin 💥

Makeup is about 3 parts working together… if I recommend a concealer to you and that’s the best concealer based on your shade/needs and effect you want then it can still not seem like it is is you use the wrong method to apply it, put it in the wrong place fro your face shape and features or use it with other makeup it doesn’t work with… it’s not just one product will save the day I’m afraid, it all works together 💡

Ps this was just a first session so much more to come…

GET YOUR COLOUR MATCH 🌈 🎟️
You use Double Wear but you’ve no idea what colour to get in the new formula 🤷🏽‍♀️

Well that’s what I’ve been looking into. Some shades are so different to the original (despite having the same name and code) usually people don’t think a foundation slightly darker or different is too big of a deal, but it’s bigger than you think and makes everything else much harder.

Let me help, for anyone that’s a client of mine and has had their coaching with me and uses original Double Wear just ask and I’ll give you your colour match in your next appointment….
It couldn’t be any easier
Just message me prior to your appointment so I can be prepared.

COULD THE NEW REFORMULATION BE BETTER? Here’s what you need to know - The essentials

•formula is runnier
•colours are brighter/ orange/ darker
•application is trickier

1. Yes because it’s runnier you may also feel like you need more as it appears more transparent
You don’t - it dries fuller
2. Yes the colours are not exact to old shades
This may make a much bigger difference than you realise making the foundation harder to look smooth because of the colour contrast to your skin - get a new colour match
3. The application is trickier
Yes, because it’s harder to manage and the formula is stickier feeling - you just need to ensure products under it are perfect to work with this product the wetter they are the trickier it becomes. Also a brush is the best was for smoothest results.
