I hope you’re all excited about this! It’s time to introduce you all to the second member of The GLOSSY Circle. Glossies, meet Hollie Cagney!
A mum of three, Hollie loves to find affordable makeup that creates a professional finish. I caught up with her about all things makeup.
An Interview With Hollie Cagney
Q: You Love Makeup Above All Else, Hollie Cagney. What’s Your Go-To Look?
A: I have to admit that day-to-day I do my makeup in 15 minutes or less. When you have three kids, life can feel pretty hectic and I’d much prefer to have those extra 10 minutes in bed! *Hollie laughs*
I apply my foundation, fill in my brows, put on some lip balm and I’m good to go! I like a natural makeup no-makeup look. That way, when I do make an effort, people really notice.
Q: What About When You're Going Out Then?
A: For a weekend or going-out look, I’d probably spend about an hour or so doing my makeup. I finally have the time to make myself feel extra special.
I’ll start by creating my natural day look, then add a nude lipstick and lots of highlighter and bronzer to create a shimmery finish. In fact, the Sleek highlighter and bronzer palette that we received in our June GLOSSYBOX works wonders. I love how highly-pigmented it is!
Q: Which Of Your Go-To Products Will Glossies Love?
A: While I do like to use high-end products from time to time, I’m more than happy to use inexpensive makeup if it works well. I use Makeup Revolution’s foundations and concealers daily!
Makeup Revolution is one of my favourite makeup brands. They sell great quality products at an affordable price.
Makeup Revolution’s Conceal & Define foundation is lightweight, full coverage and sits comfortably on my skin. Plus, it’s only £9! Their £5 concealer is really good too.
Q: What About Beauty Trends? Do You Have A Favourite?
A: Contouring is definitely my favourite trend. While that chiselled and defined look used to be reserved for models, I love that it’s now part of people’s daily beauty routines.
Makeup can be so empowering!
Contouring allows you to define your features. Having that sexy chiselled look makes me feel more confident. Makeup can be so empowering!
Q: What Beauty Treatment Would You Get To Feel Empowered?
A: I’d have to say lash extensions. Longer and curlier lashes really transform and brighten my face. When I get them done, I feel a million dollars.
Sometimes, something as simple as getting your hair or nails done can turn a bad day into a great one.
