Our Bare Escentuals make-over winners enjoy their prize

Back in May, we ran a competition to win a Bare Escentuals make-over for two by our lovely guest Sarah-Jane. Jane Little (right) from Carlisle was our lucky winner and she chose to bring her friend Liz (left) with her on the day.

We caught up with them after their make-over to find out how they got on and to check out their transformation (see photos below)...

So, what do you think of your finished look?

Jane: We're really pleased with it! It's not too heavy and quite natural looking, which we both prefer. We're both big fans of Bare Escentuals and love all of their products, so it's nice to be treated to the make-over and to see how SJ uses all the different products.

Which is your favourite product that SJ used on you today?

Jane: For me it has to be Warm Radiance and Mineral Veil - they are such great products. She also used a lovely lipgloss which felt all tingly on my lips!

Liz: Jane has always been telling me to try Mineral Veil and I'm so glad I now have! It gives such great coverage whilst still keeping you looking natural.

Will you be trying your new look out at home?

Jane and Liz: Oh, yes!

Jane: The new thing for me is wearing eyeshadow. I had lazer eye surgery only a few weeks ago and have only ever worn glasses before that, which I used to hide behind a lot. I wore mascara and eye liner but I just never bothered with eyeshadow. I love what she's done with my eyes today so I'll definitely be trying it out again when I get home.

Liz: I always wear glasses too - if I didn't I wouldn't be able to see a thing! But unlike Jane, I have always emphasised my eyes more. Sarah focussed on my eyes and lips a lot today, which I really like.


Can you share any of SJ's make-up techniques with us?

Liz: When SJ applied Warm Radiance onto my face, she used a technique that she called the 'B' and the '3'. You basically sweep the powder over one side of you face in a backwards 'B' shape and over the other side in a 3' shape. I found the powder then really framed my face.

Jane: And don't forget to swirl, tap and buff! Do these actions with your brush so you can get the right amount of powder onto it. Another tip she mentioned was always wearing a primer...

Liz: ... it really works! It acts as a canvas for your make-up and helps it to stay on longer. If you have any open pores and you then apply your powder straight on, it won't apply right. A primer will help with this.

How would you describe Bare Escentuals?

Jane: You just can't go wrong with it. Even if you apply too much by accident, you can just buff it off.

Liz: And it's all so easy to apply. I generally prefer powder formulas anyway as they feel much fresher and cleaner than a liquid. I always feel liquids are a bit too heavy.

Jane: Especially in this heat!

Where are you off to now to show off your new look?

Jane: Clubbing!

Liz: No, we're just going to have our own disco on the train back to Carlisle!

Both ladies look fabulous. It is lovely to see the products used on real women, who although they are attractive, are not professional models.

Liz is my Mum & she was so excited when Jane asked her to come with her. Both of us have bought from qvc (Mum more than me!) She looks amazing and you've really made her day. She looks 10 years younger.

Thanks so much,

Wendy xx
