Talented friends
Do you have super talented friends that somehow manage to turn anything they do into magic?
That's how I would describe my friend Gemma. She's recently started her own makeup artistry business and is building a portfolio full of her lovely work including the above photos taken by photographer Geoff Francis. I can't stop staring at them.
Gem has kindly shared all the products she used to achieve the two looks. I think I need to get my paws on her makeup kit. I don't have nearly as many products in my collection:
