🤷‍♀️ In 2020 everything changed....

I changed too over the next few years....

💡 I realised I didn't have to just work in my local area, which was amazing because I was able to help lots of lovely ladies with skincare consultations and make-up lessons for women around the country and in other countries too 💜

🖥📱I found a new way to help women not only look great but FEEL great too because I believe feeling great inside helps you look great outside with or without make-up!

It is fantastic to continue to help the ladies who can't come to me - isn't technology great! 💜

😮 😬 But it took some bravery on my part -
I did some videos in my fb group after working up the courage to do videos - and going live with no make-up on was a BIG deal for me!!

but................I overcame my fears because I knew there were ladies who needed my help and I could only teach them if I didn't have make-up on to begin with!!! 😁

🖥 📱I even did some online Masterclasses and last year I decided to record some too so that my fabulous clients can access them whenever they want to and follow along to copy what I do and learn some great techniques as well - so they can look 'glam' when getting ready for a night out 🎄 Christmas & New Year Parties 🎉

I've noticed over the last 2️⃣5️⃣ years of having my business that my clients need guidance and tips to help them do their make-up in a way that suits them at the age they are now.

🙋‍♀️Being 57 I understand my ladies when they are struggling after 40 to still wear make-up that looks flattering because doing what they did in their teens and twenties just doesn't do them an justice anymore.

If this sounds like you then I have a 🎄Pre-Christmas Special Offer for you, the link is in comments below.

😀 This lady came to see me with a Gift Voucher that her husband had bought her first Christmas (at her request I might add)

🤷‍♀️She had been doing the same make-up since she was young which was using black eyeshadow and black eyeliner in a very heavily but wanted to find out other ways to do it in a way that suits her as she is getting older.

👁 We still used the black eyeliner but on the outside of her lash line rather than inside so that it opened her eyes more.

👀 We used a grey eyeshadow and only a black one on the outer edge to give her eyes more shape and help them to look bigger.

💜 I also showed her how to do her eyebrows which were barely there after plucking them so thin when she was younger and they never grew back - I've met so many ladies over the years who did the same thing so it's very common for mature ladies.

So if you have been doing the same make-up since you were a teenager - maybe it's time for a fresh look

Drop me a heart logo in the comments if you would like more info

P.S I also do online lessons 👌😀

This beautiful lady came for a Make-up Lesson with me, we went step by step covering how to care for her skin too and discussed the type of look she wanted to be able to achieve 🙂

From arriving slightly nervous and wondering what to expect, my lovely lady was beaming by the end and excited to practise what she'd learnt 💜

If you have been wondering about having a Make-up Lesson for a while then now maybe the right time - perfect to be able to practise ahead ready for any upcoming events and Christmas Parties.....
...I do in person Make-up Lessons at my Makeover Studio in Hedge End near Southampton and also online if you live far away - just message me for more info or check out my website Makeovers by Melinda

I would 💜 to help you feel more confident with make-up and feel great inside too 😀

💜 I loved helping Beth with her transformation (hairstyling and make-up) and I could see how passionate Beth is about her new 'self' when we discussed her outfits and look she wanted to achieve when we had a consultation and on the day of the Brandshoot. You can see the fire 🔥inside in these fabulous photos. ICONIC is the word for such a fabulous lady 😀

I absolutely love this post by Ally 💜 I loved helping Beth with her transformation (hairstyling and make-up) and I could see how passionate Beth is about her new 'self' when we discussed her outfits and look she wanted to achieve when we had a consultation and on the day of the shoot. You...

I'm in the local Forget-Me-Not Publications magazine 😀💜 🎉Celebrating my 25th Business birthday!🎉

🙏 A big THANK YOU to all my past and present clients who have supported me through these years 💜 especially to the ones who have been with me from the beginning when I was a young mum with 2 little boys age 2 and 5 who are all grown up now!

🤔 I remember putting my first advert in the Yellow Pages - yes when it was a real book!!! and I have been busy ever since. Now I'm grateful for Google where most people find me but....
..💜 the best thing that I'm especially grateful for and what I love best is when previous clients come back to me -
sometimes 2nd time weddings and this year I have some Brides from 15+ years ago asking me to do they daughter's hair and make-up for Prom!!!

Sending you all love
Melinda

It's been a while! Although I have been busy with clients but not on social media much. 😔 Sadly my dear old Dad passed away recently after being ill for some time with kidney failure but we were grateful he got to his 90th Birthday!
At the start of this year and I was busy helping to look after him and my mum as my mum has had some health problems since December too and more since my Dad's passing bless her, it's been a difficult time for our family.

🎉But I do have something to celebrate because I really to prefer to give positive news. I am celebrating 25 years of having my business this month and had a photo shoot to celebrate more photo to follow.
