Wake Up Your Make Up!

Sobhan Collett will be a resident Make-Up artist at the Bungeroosh Gallery for this Christmas show. She's a professional make-up artist with years of experience. She also runs a number of local workshops.

It's a drop in set up so just come by and have a half hour session for £10 or book a longer one directly with Siobhan. It's really useful to have an overhaul on how you do your make up.

I know I've been doing mine (exactly) the same for years. The old boat race needs a little more careful application of make up these days to hide the increasing crumpled look. A look I used to have just in the mornings but now extends through much of the day. Don't get me started on sleep creases. The man in doors (or more endearingly called "the man in the bunker") will groan and call me vapid.

Also Siobhan makes you try all the techniques she shows you so you don't look great for a night and immediately forget afterwards how to recreate it.

I actually did a session in May and learnt how to do smokey eyes which can look daft on a woman in her 40's at the best of times. But, she achieved what I thought was impossible! I didn't look like mutton, a tranny or like I had been punched in the face. After four decades of never knowing how to apply eye shadow and never daring to try, I now have a handle on it! Now all I need is the time, the inclination and an a reason to do it!

So come on ladies (and gents, why not), give it a whirl. She does face painting for kids too and burlesque looks!
