Just wondering if any other geeks offer makeup but not bridal makeup? I love doing makeup but just don’t enjoy bridal as much as I find it really stressful and enjoy doing special occasion/prom makeup a lot more. I know bridal is a big money earner but feel like it just not worth the stress!

I recently completed a course in Lash Lifting with Flirties and have found the tinting step very awkward while lashes are stuck to the shields. I trained in Beauty Therapy previously and have always just been used the way I was taught in college. My question is can I tint the lashes prior to...

Happy New Year everyone! I have not spray tanned in over a year and I'm looking to get back into it. I'm thinking of Lauren's Way as not many people seem to use it in my area. Should I also invest in the One Hour Tan as well as the normal solutions? Is anybody finding them more popular...

I spray from home and currently own the HVLP machine by Xen Tan but find it pretty noisy! :eek: Can anyone recommend a small and quieter machine? Thanks!

Can any other MUA's offer tips on how to market yourself? I'm in the process of building a website, printing business cards, and I'm also using social media (Instagram). I'm thinking of printing leaflets and putting them up in my area but not too sure if they are worth my time? Thanks in...

A new client came to me for a manicure recently and she spotted my Shellac stand. She said to me 'That stuff ruined my nails!' I replied if its removed correctly it shouldn't. I quizzed her on how she had it removed by the last Nail Tech she had been to and she said with an electric file! I was...

I've seen my local supplier sell both of these lines from Fake Bake for spray tanning - what's the difference? I've only ever used the Original and Dark. They don't seem to say whether it's light or dark.What percentage is the Beyond Bronze does anybody know?

I'm currently using Shellac but I'm into looking to buy an L.E.D lamp to use with Artistic Gloss. I got an email this morning from my local supplier to say they were doing a special offer on an L.E.D lamp cheaper then the Artistic lamp but it was 36w? I researched the Artistic Lamp and it's 6G...

I'm starting to do Semi Permanent Eyelash Extensions full time again and was wondering what Lash Geeks found most popular Silk lashes or the Synthetic Mink lashes? I've only ever worked with Silk and as I'm starting out I just wanted to invest in one type and build from there. :biggrin:

I love Dermalogica and trained with it in college but was wondering because as it such a big outlay at the beginning and two other salons in my area that use it is it worth investing in? Is it still as popular as it used to be?

Just popped over from Beauty for help with a dilemma I'm having! I recently had this done on my hair and have followed the instructions to wash my hair with sulfate free shampoo, but as I have very thick hair it needs cutting every six weeks. The hairdressers I go to is kind of posh when I asked...

I just noticed they are launching this in Captial here soon. I'm really interested as I use OPI polish anyway. Does anyone use it? Does it need to cure in an LED lamp?
