The incredible skin expert Ingrid Seaburn organised an exclusive make-up masterclass with MaxMay where he taught us the techniques, products and approach for ‘mid skin’
It was fascinating
Not just the practical tips I learnt, but more about how all of us, who had consumed Make up insight all our lives and had been following instructions that either weren’t relevant to us and our Skin, or they were so outdated they were no longer relevant to us as mid women
And I realised that’s exactly what I teach my clients with fashion.
We follow generic and outdated ‘rules’ and wonder why we feel so crap in our clothes??
Then I come along and undo so much of that rubbish and then re-teach clients in a more personalised way that’s relevant for them and the way they wear clothes.
3 key outtake to Max’s session were:
1. the heavy contour and we see on Instagram on 20 something skin isn’t necessarily right for mid Skin. If you watch him on Instagram (& I suggest you do) he applies all product to his hand first and then uses a brush to diffuse, and builds, blends and layers gently
2. Put your bronzer where you put your blush, and your blush above that
3. That heavy overnight moisturiser you use under your make-up might be the reason your make up slips off your face by midday
Max is not just generous with his years and years of experience, but also the way he is able to communicate and demonstrate was so useful. It’s really giving me a spring in my step because Make up is a whole different discipline and I struggle with it daily
…oh, and the goodie bag!!
