READ ALL ABOUT IT

We love Irish make-up artist Ciara Allen for her miraculous ways with make-up. Her edgy editorials push creative boundaries, whilst her flattering looks for “real” faces and love of product means her appointment book is always bulging. This month, she launches How to Succeed in the Beauty Business, €14.99, which covers all areas of working as a make-up artist, and how to master life as a freelance MUA. Available from October 4 on Amazon. Ciara will also host a number of live masterclasses in the run-up to Christmas. For more, visit ciaraallen.net.
