Arch Angel

"Don't worry about me.

Worry about your brows."

It's all in the eyes! I truly believe that eyes are the first thing people see when they look at you and they are just so damn captivating. There is absolutely no better feeling of confidence than having your eyebrows perfected and your lashes elongated. It shapes your face and accentuates your features. I had first heard about Amy Jean about a year ago and so to hear that she was making her way to Perth was so exciting! I booked in for a brow sculpt and lash lift, and let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed.

Amy and her assistant Montana were so lovely and friendly, they created such a happy infectious vibe from the moment I walked in the door. Montana started with my lash lift and I'm one who has a little trouble getting curl and volume so when I saw the instant results I was mind blown! The beauty of it is that it is completely your own lashes and lasts 6-8 weeks. The lash lift is perfect if you're always on the go. Such a hot trend at the moment.

"We also take the time to apply a light eye make up application so there are no tell tale signs. We educate you on home-maintenance and guide you through the art of "filling" the brow line with a tailored brow product from the Amy Jean Eye Couture cosmetics range." As stated on Amy Jean's website that is exactly what my visit to the "Arch Angel" entailed. Amy works so fast yet she is efficient and pays close attention to detail, giving me the perfect arches. I loved how she took the time to apply make-up so I looked presentable when leaving and I especially loved getting a couple of tips and tricks. Brow love indeed! I purchased Brow Velvet - Light (as seen on Amy's website listed below).

With some of her clients being big names such as: Dannii Minogue, Naomi Campbell, Courtney Love, and Mel B, it's no wonder Amy and her team are in high demand. I was amazed at how talented this brow Queen is yet not surprised as she has a huge fan base. Now Amy is finally opening up a salon in Perth in the very near future so stay tuned girls! Very exciting news!!! In the meantime, Amy will be back at the end of July - I've got my appointment booked! ;)

Top 5 Essential Make-Up Brushes

There are so many brushes that us girls collect over the years but how many actually do the job? I have gone from brand to brand using brushes that just did not work until I came across Sigma! I have been using these brushes for the last month or so and can not rave about them enough! I bought the five that were most popular and that I personally believe are must haves to keep in your make-up kit.

1. E55 - Eye Shading $12.00

I love this one as the soft and dense bristles make it ideal to get into the creases and perfect your eyeshadow. It ensures an even application of colour and also, applies smoothly and effortless no matter what eyeshadow you have on it like glitter or pigment. For an even and strong application of product, place it across the entire eyelid.

2. F15 - Duo Fibre Powder/Blush $23.00

The Duo Fibre brush generates a diffused blush application. It is a fibre blend with deep beveled edges and gives a soft application of powder and mineral product. This brush is super soft and smooth, it's perfect for applying blush.

3. F25 - Tapered Face $29.00

Tapered brushes are perfect to reach the corners of your face and this brush is no exception. My favourite bronzer is Nars Laguna and my favourite blush is Nars Orgasm and this brush gives exact placement of product, which is what you want. It highlights my cheekbones and temples beautifully. 

4. F70 - Concealer $12.00

Everyone needs a concealer brush in their collection! It is a standard, small and slightly tapered flat brush. Also, it's super great for concealing the hardest to reach areas such as around the nose and eyes, giving your unwanted blemishes full coverage.  

5. F84 - Angled Kabuki $21.00

Purchase this brush if you are after full coverage, people as they are really dense brushes. They blend easily and the biggest difference I have noticed is that they give me a natural flawless finish. This one is by far my favourite! I will be keeping this in my collection for years.

These are what work best for me so if what you're doing is working then keep at it, everyone is different! However, if you are interested in trying out new brushes then I recommend the above.

I swear by Sigma! You can purchase any of these from sigmabeauty.com xx
