THE ROUGE REVIEW VOLUME VII






Hey there Rougettes!!






So what has been happening the last two weeks!! Well decided to kick back and have some fun all in the name of good old Halloween!!! I love this time of year as Hair and Make-up creativity is always at its highest and I love having a good old play whether it be on my own face or others!! Anyone and everyone gets involved...even the men!!!! So I decided to visit the annual attraction that is FARMAGEDDON!!! I must admit i was impressed with all of the SFX makeup and cant wait for the 31st to actually come now to try out some new things!!!

Then on a whole different note the Rougettes and I decided to take a field trip to the Professional Beauty show in Manchester!!! We had a good wander round to see all of the latest products available and have a good old chatter with those in the know!! I must admit I was impressed with Art Deco stand and managed to spend some pennies whilst I was chatting away to fellow Make-up Artists!!We also attended a fab demo from the airbrush king himself John Woodbridge!! Also special mention to the Elemis stand which had its own branded double Decker bus in which people could pay to have treatments on!!! ( This is definitely a Rougette dream)!!






My fabulous Sian went and did her bit for charity at a Look Good Feel Better afternoon which helps ladies who are being treated for cancer make the most of themselves!!! They are each given a goodie bag full of products and then shown how to use them!!! This is a wonderful cause and they are always looking for new volunteers!!!












There have also been some fab jobs in the last 2 weeks including glamorous makeovers, scary makeovers and our favourite of the last 2 weeks was a surprise appointment for the fabulous Ellies 20th birthday in which her best friend arranged for 2 Rougettes to show up at her house and give her the full celebrity treatment of hair and make-up for a night on the tiles!! We hope she had fun!

SCR HQ has also been manic this past week with some amazing changes in store for the company so keep your eyes peeled!!!

THE ROUGE REVIEW VOLUME VI

Well hello there to all my little Makeup fairies!!
I do apologise for my absence over the last 2 weeks but I promise I have been super duper busy collecting all sorts of fashion, Make-up and Beauty knowledge to pass on to my favourite peeps in the world!!! (and yes I do mean you)
Well where do I begin in telling you all the weird and wonderful things that have been going on in the world of a Rougette!!!
Well once again we have been busy filming!!! This time for a film named 'chains' in which our fabulous Rougette Katy was seen working her little socks off!!!!Well done Katy!!
After this the Rouge Booth was seen at a fabulous new boutique opening on the Wirral!!! This little eclectic boutique in Irby is called Hide and seek and is owned by the fabulous fashion designer Emma Embery!! The shop is a mixture of Emmas own collection, Customised Vintage and some fabulous Vintage home wares such as Lamps, Tea sets and Art!! The Rouge Booth was busy all evening, touching up the make-up and hair of all of the attendees!!! We wish Emma all the best in her new Venture!!
*****LONDON FASHION WEEK*******
Then it was the ever fabulous LFW!!! I was lucky enough to travel down to London with the ever fabulous Sian and Robyn and attend some Fabulous events!!!! Here is a Picture i took of the girls in Amika Nightclub!! The event was for the 'Sex and the London City' Blog which is written by Nixalina, a fabulous socialite giving you insight into her fabulous life including fashion, beauty and sex!!!! The party was held by the fabulous Karena Sedgwick of Fashion Forward PR!! Fabulous lady=Fabulous Party!





 My fabulous Sian was lucky enough to travel back down to London for the annual Soap Awards to be on hand for any Make-up needs before hitting the red carpet!!
******FAST FASHION HAS LAUNCHED******
Ladies Fast Fashion has launched!! This fab online store is dedicated to bringing you the latest trends straight to your door and is jam packed with the best brands and amazing clothes!!!
This site is definitely worth a browse and even better So Coco Rouge also provided hair and Makeup for the branding!!!


To top off my weekend 'The Rouge School' opened its doors once again and this time there was no pretty faces in sight as the workshop was dedicated to SFX Makeup!! The Girls did a fabulous job and we at HQ hope they enjoyed their time with us as much as we did with them!
  The Rougettes were also featured in the 'Winning Women' Section H Magazine!! I'm so proud of my girlies!!
" Ive recently had my Make-up done by So Coco Rouge, and i must say I'd hugely recommend a trip to see them in Hope Street at the earliest opportunity" H Mag


I was also excited to attend the Fabulous Hope Street Feast which was quite surprisingly on Hope Street!! It was a fabulous day packed with a huge variety of stalls of crafts and cakes!!! To be honest i spent most of the day loitering around the fabulous 'Lauras Bakery' stall as her cakes are quite literally TO DIE FOR......
The girls also decided to head down to 'Hard days night' Hotel and attend their very first networking event held by Striding out!! It was a great evening meeting some fab business minds, and it was made better by the company of the super gorgeous girls of 'Strange Case Collectives'!!
Then the Rouge Booth was out and about again!! This time it was all in the name of charity and was for a fabulous cause held by the North West Cancer Research Fund!! For those of you who follow us you will know that this is a charity that is close to our hearts at So Coco Rouge HQ and we are always willing to help out in any way possible!! This event was the incredible 'Butterfly Ball' held in the beautiful Crypt of the stunning Metropolitan Cathedral! The evening was 'Best Bib and tucker' and there were some fabulous outfits on show!! it was an exciting evening of food, drinks, Entertainment and of course dancing!! The amazing raffle and auction Prizes helped to raise a whopping £10000




COPYCAT COCO

For the current moment it is all about fashion!!! With Fashion weeks over all around i have decided to choose a look from the last fashion inspiring you all for the current season!!! Autumn/Winter is upon us and its the fabbest time of the year by far!! This is the season in Which we can all be much more experimental in our fashion and much more importantly more expressive in our make-up!!! Its time to ditch the shimmer bronzers and collect a whole new look!!

Slightly different to the normal copycat segment today is about 'the trend'

  • The key to this look is a good base!! A full coverage base is fine for this and a quality concealer to hide any of those skin imperfections and blemishes!! We at SCR HQ love the mineral range Lily Lolo! A strong base can be achieved by buffing light layers of the foundation to build up a good coverage!
  • Contour under the cheekbones to make your bone structure POP! This will give you a stronger look with edge!
  • A pearl neutral shade of eyeshadow is good for the eyelids and cheekbones to make them pop if you wish!! Natural in Bedhead TiGi is a good shade.
  • Mascara is Key to dramatise your eyes! For extra glamour opt for some false eyelashes!!
  • Finish the look with a Bold lip colour! Reds, Berry tones or even black are bang on trend for the coming season which can take your look from day chic to night time fabulosity!!  I am loving the new Kate Moss range for Rimmel, and my favourite of the moment is 001
