Remember this project? This was the result of a truly rewarding creative collaboration with Cara Bendon Photography and Fina Creative Hair. I was allowed to run away with myself with creative design and luckily Fina and Cara were very much on the same 70's glam night time look as I had come up with. The picture below is a before ( with base) on the stunning Lucia.



Truly beautiful, the next pic below will be going in my front room/ hallway when me and mr makeuplady move!xxx


The next are more natural images, a day time look if you like

multi camouflage


A totally wondrous product and FANTASTIC value for money. The Derma Color Camouflage Mini Palette is mainly designed for the 'camouflaging' of scars, heavy blemishes, acne, tattoos, eyebrows. Whatever you want covering, it'll cover it. You would use this over primer and under foundation. 



D32 is a richly brick red pigment concealer that would be used directly onto either eyebrows or tattoos after 'the pritt stick technique', this neutralises the colour in eyebrows and makes it easier and less heavy to layer ontop with skin tone colour concealer, if needed ( covering tattoos or scars) you then need to use the setting powder.

The rest of the colours come in red and yellow tones and range from the palest of caucasian to the darkest black of skins. This is one of the best bits, there is no colour tone discrimination. There are three palettes to choose from that are 'fair', 'medium' and 'dark'. These cater perfectly for seasonal skin tone changes.

'What if I don't want a mini palette?'
Well Charles Fox Ltd London offer a service that colour matches clients dependant on their need and body location for a dermacolor pot. 


They match you as best they can to one colour of concealer. 9/10 customers do come back when their skin tones have changed, summer tans etc. If you are seriously into your make up I would very much recommend a palette.

Another fab thing with these is that a little goes a VERY long way, DON'T put your brush straight into your pot, use cut out technique and mix colours on the back of your hand, warming the product and fab for blending and adding more colour as you go. This is also useful for hygiene purposes.

I have shade Palette NR2. Palette's start from £16.00 and can be bought from Charles Fox Ltd. All photographs courtesy of DermaColor.
