Makeup Styles For Every Occasion

Let’s face it (excuse the pun), makeup can be pretty daunting. It’s incredibly common to have one go-to makeup style while steering clear of anything too fancy. It seems like there are new beauty trends popping up every second week. Just when we thought we had nailed contouring, non-touring becomes a thing. It also doesn’t help that there are 15-year-olds on YouTube who can do better winged eyeliner than most of us could even dream of.

We’ve put together five makeup styles that are super impressive and beginner-friendly, and everything you need can be found in-centre. With MAC, Napoleon Perdis, Priceline and Newcastle’s only Mecca Maxima, Charlestown Square is your number-one beauty destination.
