As the new year is upon us and the stark light of the wintertime sun shines, choose a selection of warm earthy colours for eyes and a natural warm colour for lips.

Shimmer waves eye collection is perfect for this as it has a good selection of colour and also adds a little sparkle at the same time.

Remember the bright winter skies will make skin appear paler so adding another layer of matt powder to the skin is advised and keep daytime looks subtle.

Alternatively using a foundation that can be layered and dries with a matt effect such as our cream-to powder foundation enriched with baobab oil.

It provides a good colour for an instantly healthy-looking, flawless complexion and the perfect way to avoid shiny uneven coverage.

And add a spritz of sultry musk perfume for that real touch of glam! An iconic and classic scent ‘White Musk’ eau de parfum an essential for every girls dresser.

If you were there we hope you had a great time too, and took full advantage of the wealth of crossdressing products and services that were on offer.

It was so lovely to see some familiar faces – some of whom we recognised from our appearance at sparkle in July – and great to hear that many of you have been following our progress through the website to see whats on and where we’ll be off to next!

The Miss Rose of the year competition

After a sumptuous evening meal  The Miss Rose of the year competition took place -  which myself and Christy, my trusty colleague, were honoured to be asked by Martine to sit on the Judges panel – I even got to read out the winners!

I can only hazard a guess though at how many outfits some of the girls brought as I kept bumping into the same faces over the course of the evening  who must have changed several times!! Yes girls you know who you are!!!

It was also a pleasure to meet Grayson Perry who was much fun, too in her many different outfits ranging from her sweet ‘Alice’ style look with matching dolly through to her quirky pvc number at the end of the evening!

Because we love being helpful we’ve put this post together to take you through the basics of finding the right eyeliner for you.

The two most commonly used types of eyeliner are:

• Eyeliner Pencil

  We suggest starting out with the Eyeliner pencil which is easier to apply, until you have perfected your technique

• Liquid eyeliner

  This can be tricky to apply, requiring a steady hand for smooth application – but with some practice it offers great results.

It is always best to test eyeliners before you buy although this can often be difficult in many stores.  It’s also best to avoid the cheapest products as these can often be waxy or oily, making them difficult to apply and limiting their ability to stay on once hot.

Liquid eyeliners come with two main types of applicators:

• Brush applicator

  Cheaper liquid eyeliners tend to come with brush applicators – they work but can be tricky to use

• Curved end felt tip pen style applicator

  A curved pen style applicator can be mastered, with a bit of practice, for small flicks at the side of the eyes relatively quickly

Application

• Pencil eyeliners can be used for both above the top and bottom lashes, where as liquid eyeliner can only be used on the top lid.
• For a more subtle, softer look instead of using a pencil try using a small makeup brush with a dark eyeshadow.
• Apply above and below lashes to make the eyes appear wider and slightly smoky.
• For a slightly lengthened look draw this line our towards the ends of the eyes.
