Two Day Course April 8th & 9th

I'm so pleased to announce my next intensive two day makeup course is running 8th & 9th April 2016.

Below are some images straight off the back of the camera, from last months course. My student Shannon Gresty designed and applied the looks after only two days of training with me!

Festival makeup for 2016!

I had such fun this week coming up with cool festival makeup looks to go with hair styles by Regis super star styler, Kieron Fellows. 

For a super cool flash of blue, I used electric blue eye pencil in the waterline, then smudged out your colour with a similar matte shadow under the lashes. NO MASCARA is the key to keeping it super edgy. 

Why have one flick when you can have two?! I'm a big eyeliner fan and this nod to Hannah Murray's take on the double liner for Topshops AW16 show suited this look right down to a tee. 

 

This final look was my favourite, a geisha-punk girl. Hair by amazing Kieron Fellows, makeup by me :) photography by Dom Brophy. 

Luscious Lips

I had such fun working this week with beautiful model Hannah Cooper (@hannah_cooper_) for an online fashion video. I applied four looks in total, making adjustments to my hair and makeup as I went. I LOVE the string red lip on Hannah! I prepped lips with Lucas Paw Paw Ointment, and buffer away any dryness with a baby wipe. Next I applied Mac Brick liner to get a sharp edge. I finished with Mac Russian Red - a true matte pillar box red. For staying power blot and reapply. Power Lips Ahoy!!! 

What a week!!

This week has seen me shoot with three gorgeous models for some major fashion brands, finishing with a one day freelance hair course at Makeup Manchester HQ :) 

Products of the week are my Nars Copacabanna Illuminator for dewy, glowy skin, Bumble & Bumble curl cream for taming frizz and curls and Mac lipstick in Kinda Sexy for a peachy pout.

Amazing student testimonial...

One of my lovely students wrote me such a lovely testimonial a feel like I HAVE to share it..

Amanda booked the One Day Fashion & Beauty Makeup Course. Here's what she thought of the day (sent totally off her own back of course!)

"Having researched courses on the internet, I came across Nancy Spencer's site "Makeup Manchester ".  I called Nancy  for a chat regarding training and immediately felt a connection with her.

 I booked her one day, (one to one) Bridal and fashion makeup course. 

I learn't so much!.. In such a short space of time..... It was intense and so much fun!

 Nancy is not only an amazing and accomplished makeup artist.  She is also a very proficient educator.  She instills information smoothly and expertly AND with buckets full of patience!

Some of the things Nancy shared made me, made me feel like I was behind the scenes of a magic show witnessing first hand the "tricks of the trade" ...  Smoke and Mirrors!

I also enjoyed Nancy's WAY of teaching. Very hands on. "Show and Do" kinda thing. She would demonstrate first. Then watch my efforts and give suggestions, opinions and feedback. All in a very gentle and kind manner. 

Nancy was very professional. On arrival, fire exits were shown, refreshments offered and a relaxing and private environment provided.  Also I felt that Nancy gave me 100% dedication and attention throughout the entire day. 

I would highly recommend this course and more importantly Nancy herself.  

The only one negative about the day is that it went too quickly! So I have now booked a second course with Nancy. She has tailor made a course just for me! Thank you Nancy!"
