COUNTER ON IT: Got a glam event but no budget for new beauty products and a makeover? Drop into a department store beauty counter and see if you can get a make-up artist to give you a glam look for your event.
At some shops, such as at selected John Lewis stores, you can actually book in for a makeover consultation for free or book in for a full makeover for £45, which is redeemable against products. It’s a nifty way to fill your make-up bag and get your makeover in one.
Check local counters’ websites for offers or head to johnlewis.com to book.
LOCAL TALENT: Find trainee make-up artists in your area by checking out your local Facebook groups, which can be full of artists offering their services. Many newly qualified artists charge half-price to build their portfolios, so it can be a cheap way to get your glam.
