#AD 🎶 Just another manic Monday! 🎶 At least I never have to worry about my makeup lasting. One of the newest releases from NOTE Cosmetics are the Skin Perfecting Primers & boy oh boy they were worth the wait! *What are they? Water resistant primers to be worn underneath foundation with the aim of a flawless and long lasting makeup. . *Who are they for? . There is a primer for everyone depending on your skin type. You can even use both at one time. Skin Perfecting Illuminator is best suited to dry, dull and normal skin types that prefer a glowing finish to their skin. Skin Perfecting primer is best on oily or combination skin types or those that prefer a matte finish. *Why would you need them? In order to help foundation last longer and give a more flawless finish. All skin types need to be prepped accordingly before makeup depending on its needs. A primer acts as a barrier between the skin and foundation, helping it to last longer. *Where can you get them? Available from stockists nationwide. A full list of stockists is available on @notecosmeticsireland highlights. *How much are they? Skin perfecting illuminator €9.95 Skin perfecting primer €10.95 Have you tried these yet? What did you think? . . #AD #TakeNote #NoteCosmeticsIreland

Pretty bridesmaid makeup on Becky. 💗

From the 1st bridal party I ever had the pleasure of doing bridal makeup for (Yes you Deirdre Burke) I knew that was my place in life! Thankfully specialising in bridal makeup has worked out wonderfully for me, getting to makeover hundreds of brides on their special day is my dream job! When I was in school I wanted to work in mental health because all I knew was I wanted to "help people" and I think in some shape or form what I do with a makeup brush, a makeup lesson or a compliment, I hope I help women get a little sparkle back! 💗

#AD **NOTE Number Ones** My next Number One product are the MatteMoist MatteMoist lipglosses. The summer season brings alot of weddings, occasions and running & racing so last thing you want to be worrying about is your lipstick lasting or dry lips! I have loved these lipglosses from day one, Why? Because they have all the properties of a matte lipstick including the look and the holding power but the main ingredients macadamia oil & vitamin E give them a more comfortable and nourishing wear, so no more dry chapped lips! Here are some of my favourite wearable colours which would be great lipsticks for Bridal Parties. . (L-R) 401 Matnude, 402, Matkiss, 409 Angel, 410 Sandalwood . . Which one would be your fave??

Beautiful Bridesmaids! I love to see those happy smiles! 💗

**Aisling** How gorgeous was Aisling on her wedding day this weekend at @kilronancastle Hair - Susan The Powder Room (fantastic hairdresser by the way) Love this makeup look!!!

#AD **NOTE Number One's** Part of my ongoing collaboration with @notecosmeticsireland is showcasing some of my number one reached for products from their range. **What is It?** The Perfecting Pen Sculpting Concealer and Highlighter is one of the brands newest releases. Its a brightener, highlighter and concealer all in one. Available in two shades Ivory Rose & Warm Rose, the colour correcting tones help even the appearance of skin tone while your natural skin remains visible. **How to Use it** Photo 2 & 3 - Apply to the darkest areas of the under eye using the sponge applicator and blend using your finger. You can apply on it own with no makeup or under/over concealer for added brightening effect. Photo 4 - apply over foundation in the areas shown to add extra highlight to the face. Blend using a brush for best results. . **How much is it?** €8.95 **Where can I get it?** Available from @notecosmeticsireland stockists nationwide. A full list of stockists can be found on their highlights section on instagram. **Why I love it** I always love to add brightness to my undereyes area as I have purple tones that need to be disguised. I believe my makeup always looks fresher when my eyes are brighter. With or without makeup. I particularly love this for my no makeup days and especially after a sleepless night I can wear it on its own and its very natural. Tell me are dark circles something you struggle with? What are your top tips/products? Do you think this product is something you'd love too?

Last week while I was away I found out my email inbox was full and emails were bouncing back. Sorry! I am not sure how long it was full but if you sent an email to info@charleneflanaganmakeup.com and haven't heard back please re-send. My 2019 diary is currently full (except for bridal trials for brides already booked in) and there are a few weekend dates available for 2020 bridal bookings.
