The Goodwood Revival

I spent this weekend at The Goodwood Revival working for The Vintage Hair Lounge and I had such a fantastic time. The whole team was lovely, those hair girls are troopers! Their chairs were constantly full and the styles they created were amazing, and each one unique too. They were fascinating to watch.

Over on the makeup side of things we had slightly quieter afternoons after the morning rush, mainly doing touch ups or people that decided 'hey, you know what, I'm going for it'. We were also selling the absolutely fabulous Besame lipsticks, the best reds I've come across for longevity, which were absolutely perfect vintage colours. The most popular early weekend seller was Red Velvet but Red Hot Red (my personal favourite) quickly became more popular on the Saturday and Sunday.

I also had the pleasure of using these lipsticks on my clients and I received so many compliments on the colours and people returning to buy their colour later after seeing how well it lasted. There's a colour for everyone, from bright Monroe red through to deep Merlot. They're full of enriching ingredients and the packaging is stunning, as if the gorgeous gold and red wasn't enough alone but they even come in a little red velvet bag inside their boxes too.

We were also very generously gifted a Brightening Violet Powder, a Crimson Cream Rouge and the 1930s Mascara to use as well. These are equally fantastic, the powder as a slight violet hue which lifts the makeup whilst setting it and you only need a tiny amount. It made everyone's complexion look gorgeous. Whilst the mascara, which also smells amazing, went on beautifully and easily on everyone with my lash fan. I found using just a tiny bit of the rouge before setting gives a soft rosy glow for ladies a like a subtle colour.

Alongside the hair team was the lovely Dandy Barber, doing traditional wet shaves amongst other things for the chaps, aptly named Chappy Hour. He even had time to give one of our makeup girls one! With the biggest scissors I've seen (and the largest tongue bar!) his style was brilliant and his work so precise he fit right into the vintage style.

More to follow soon but we had an amazing time! (Maybe minus the camping and very early starts but more to follow on that soon...)
