I recently attended a makeup masterclass with Paul & Joe Beaute. Paul & Joe Beaute is a makeup brand that was launched by Sophie Mechaly in 2002 following the success of her fashion brand by the same name. It is named after her two sons Paul and Joe, and is famous for its pretty packaging and stylish seasonal collections.
I have to admit that although I have always looked at their packaging and thought it looked so beautiful and feminine, I have never really looked into the brand itself simply because I knew they didn't really have shades that suited my skin tone.
It was great to be able to go the the masterclass and learn more about the brand, the ingredients and whilst sadly the foundation shades are way too pale for my skin tone, the formulation is lovely and there were several other products within the range that would work for darker skin toned women.

The masterclass was led by Craig Ryan French, an internationally recognised makeup artist and the creative beauty director for Paul & Joe Beaute. He shared information about the new summer range and also took us back to some of the core Paul & Joe products. Having never used the brand it was great to see a demonstration of the products and to hear how he likes to use the range.
He also shared some fantastic makeup tips, some of which I have been testing out:
