91裸聊视频淚 love the quote from makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin that says, 91裸聊视频楨very woman is beautiful, we just need to show them how to bring it out.91裸聊视频� It feeds my soul when doing makeup 91裸聊视频� even when I do simple things to accentuate someone91裸聊视频檚 features 91裸聊视频� to see how it can change the way they see themselves for the positive. It feeds me to help them see what everybody else sees.91裸聊视频�

There91裸聊视频檚 a soundtrack of birdsongs in the background as I meet makeup artist Trish Monkhouse at her Metchosin home on a sunny morning to chat about style and her journey to becoming a makeup artist. I also wanted to get some makeup and beauty tips that every woman should know 91裸聊视频� myself included.

Trish is 10 years into doing makeup full time, but says that actually, 91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檝e been doing it my entire life. I was very much focussed on art at school; it was in my blood. But I also have always wanted to help people. A lot of people have said to me that I have a gift of keeping people at ease. People are very vulnerable when sitting in your makeup chair and I take that very seriously. I91裸聊视频檝e learned to listen to people and read their body language to understand what they91裸聊视频檙e not saying.91裸聊视频�

The West Shore is also in Trish91裸聊视频檚 blood. She91裸聊视频檚 a fourth-generation West Shore resident 91裸聊视频� her family was one of the original homesteading families in the area. She grew up here and bought her first home here.

91裸聊视频淚t has a different peaceful and removed feeling. It91裸聊视频檚 got a little bit of everything 91裸聊视频� you can get everything you need but still have that remote relaxation as well. It91裸聊视频檚 like a vacation area and a city.91裸聊视频�

Asked to describe her style, she jokes, 91裸聊视频淪occer mom.91裸聊视频� (But since she91裸聊视频檚 the mother of three busy teenagers this is likely pretty accurate!)

Beyond this, Trish loves that these days so much is accepted when it comes to fashion and personal style 91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频淟ike a 45-year-old can have a Mohawk [hair style] and not be looked at weird!91裸聊视频�

Now for the beauty tips, and I ask Trish what every woman should know when it comes to beauty.

91裸聊视频淢y biggest thing is skincare and serums. Whenever I91裸聊视频檓 doing makeup I focus on getting 91裸聊视频榯he canvas91裸聊视频� looking really good and then you need less makeup. People need to hydrate deeper and serums do that.91裸聊视频�

What products should every woman have to bring out their best?

91裸聊视频淎 good serum and moisturizer, a lip conditioner, eyebrow gel, an eyelash curler, mascara and a little tint on the lip and cheek.91裸聊视频�

Is there something she wishes women would stop doing?

91裸聊视频淐omparing themselves to others. I really highly recommend getting together with a professional makeup artist to find out what works. There are so many makeup tutorials online, but they aren91裸聊视频檛 real. What works for that person online may not work for you, so don91裸聊视频檛 compare and get discouraged. If you learn to do it right for your face, it91裸聊视频檚 something you will have forever.91裸聊视频� WS WS
