Based: Mullaghbawn, Co.Armagh

Occupation: Makeup Artist & Beauty Therapist

What do you specialise in? Makeup

Favourite Foundation: Lynda Strain “Love Lynda” Flawless Finish

Favourite Eyeshadow Palette: Anastasia Soft Glam Palette, I find myself dipping into it for a lot of looks.

Favourite look to create: I love a smoky brown eye look matched with dewy skin as I feel that dewy skin gives the skin a much healthier look and who doesn’t love a smoky eye???

Favourite Brush Set? I am using Zoeva and Plush Brushes. It is so important to use the proper brushes to create the ultimate makeup look.

Colleen has created her favourite look of a soft smoky eye and dewy skin. You can click on this link to follow the makeup tutorial if you would like to recreate this look.
