Priceline & Cosmo Beauty Workshop with Leigh Campbell

Last night Priceline and Cosmo held a beauty workshop in Pitt Street (Sydney). They had Cosmo's beauty editor, the gorgeous Leigh Campbell, on stage talking about trends, tips and her favourite products. It was a fantastic session as they talked through false eyelash application, colour blocking using make up, red lips, curling your hair using a straightener and foundation application. 


Some of the great tips I picked up included...


Most women don't need foundation, but we are so used to using it as a face cream that we apply all over. Instead most women only really need it around their T zone and blend out. Also instead of using foundation, a tinted moisturiser and concealer is more than enough for most women.


Practice, Practice, Practice!!!! The only way you become a pro is by trialing what techniques work and keep trying until you get there. 


It's just make up!! It washes off. Have fun with it! 


There is a shift concerning make up "rules." Before you only used one bold colour, but now its not unusual to have 2 bold colours at once. Try to limit it to 2 or it can look a bit OTT. If you want green eyes and coral lips, keep your blush a coral colour too. 


Make sure you apply false eye lashes to your actual lashes, not your skin!


Hair extensions can be great for added length and volume. But make sure if you bought synthetic extensions, rather than real hair, not to use hot tools on it or it will melt! 

Now onto the goodie bag. OMG!!! I have never seen a goodie bag like this before! It was jam packed and soooooo heavy. Some of the brands in the bag include Aveeno, Trilogy, VS Sassoon, Yes To Blueberries, Almay, White Glow, Sally Hansen, Biore, Schick, Garnier, Grown, Schwarzkopft, John Frida and even more!!!


They also had make overs available, but I had to miss out because I had to take my daughter with me so it was too hard to navigate a pram in the crowds.  But they had an area where you could get a one on one session and get tips and get advice from make up artists. 


Keep an eye out on Pricelines twitter or Facebook page for a session near you! I love how you can get one on one advice without being pressured into buying anything. Hopefully next time I can go alone, so I can get some one on one make up advice! :)


Did you go?
