Editing: Tasha’s Face
I met Abi of Chrystal Images at a Keziah Connections networking event. Abi is a makeup artist and she suggested that we do a collaboration, with me picking the theme.

Allergy season no-mascara no-makeup make-up inspired by Alicia Keys
I finally watched the Graham Norton Show that was aired on Friday 3rd June (I watch TV on my own time).
It was hilarious as always and Alicia Keys performed rocking big hair, a head wrap, sequin bomber jacket, tailored sports luxe jumpsuit and the no-makeup make-up look! It just looked so carefree, effortless and comfortable while I was here scratching the mascara out of my eyes because my hayfever tablets had worn off.
