London Trip to MAC and Charles Fox in Convent Garden

On the 10th October our course took a trip to London to firstly visit the National Portrait Gallery to get inspiration for our Elizabethan Portraits. After we'd visited the Gallery we were allowed to visit - Illamasqua, MAC and Charles Fox. My group only managed to visit MAC and Charles Fox.

Charles Fox

 

 We first visited Charles Fox, I absolutely adored the exterior in the main window they were showing all the Halloween make up, prosthetic's and wigs etc. Charles Fox is best known for stocking makeup and prosthetic's best for theatre/Film. We were given a tour which we showed the store and we shown all the make up and prosthetic's. 

MAC

Secondly we visited MAC in convent Garden. Again the exterior was inviting and chic, the interior complemented the exterior as it was very modern. The store itself was quite small, on the first floor they had all the normal products which were available for the general public to purchase, but downstairs they had the pro store. We were given 35% of in MAC so I took full advantage. I purchased the Pro Long wear Concealer, a paint pot in Painterly, a glittery purple pigment and two chromoline eye liners one in white and the other in purple. The staff in MAC were extremely helpful recommending products and explaining each product in depth. I loved the atmosphere in MAC as it was very modern and professional.
