One of my brides from this week.
 
Hi guys. Loving this thread. Im currently studying beauty therapy but my heart lies with make up. I was wondering if anybody could recommend a good highlighter? Preferably not a powder one? I've tried so many I've lost count but I just can't seem to find one that I like that has a really good glow about it. Help please :)

I use Becca's shimmering skin perfector - they do different shades for each skin tone or Illamasqua Gleam in Aurora is lovely x

It all comes down to practice and working on as many faces as possible.
Counter work is a great starting point because you get amazing discount and able to work on lots of different fave shapes, eye shapes, colours.. X
 
Do you just learn what suits certain eyes and face shapes through practicing..I got a wee make up lesson the other week and the girl showed me how to elongate my eyes as mine are quite round. It's tips like that I would love to read up on xx
