Beautifully Blind Make-Up Hints and Tips Tutorials

Where:   In the comfort of your own home via Zoom

When: weekly sessions from Thursday, March 31st

What time: 2.30 – 4pm (approx.)

Our Beautifully Blind Make-Up Hints and Tips Tutorials are back! The feedback we received from our pilot course in the summer was fantastic, and we are looking to build on everything we learned the first time around. Our aims are to instil confidence, develop peer to peer support and equip women who have a vision impairment with the essential skills required to apply make-up independently.

We understand the issues and the barriers to applying make-up and we have created a safe learning space for you to find a technique that works for you.

If you or someone you know would benefit from a step by step, friendly, person centred approach to every aspect of make up application please get in touch.

Here is a breakdown of the sessions by week:

Session 1 – Introduction, equipment and items of use and preparation hints and tips

Session 2 – Introduction to Eyes

Session 3 – Perfecting Eyeshadow

Session 4 – Introduction to Eyeliner and Mascara

Session 5 – Perfecting Eyeliner and Mascara

Session 6 – Introduction to Face and Foundation

Session 7 – Introduction to Cheeks and Lips

Session 8 – Perfecting the face

Session 9 – A full face of Make-up

Session 10 – A round up of the sessions
