No Mirror Make Up Challenge (Video)

October 8, 2014



Fellow blogger Charlotte has set me and a number of other bloggers a challenge. The challenge is to do the #NoMirrorMakeup challenge to raise money for Henshaws.


Henshaws work with visually impaired people by helping to give them independence and a life that they enjoy. When you consider how limited you would be when you can’t see it’s a pretty daunting thought. Not being able to your baby’s smile, not being able to drive and not being able to see someone’s facial expressions is a pretty big deal. 


The challenge is about trying to understand what it’s like for women who can’t see and have to do things like this every day.

The premise is that you do your makeup, without a mirror. Easy – though not as easy as

you think. You can film it, or take a selfie of your efforts, donate what you can and tag other people to do the same.
It’s open to anyone, men, women, children if their parents don’t mind them popping lippy on for charity.
Once you’ve created your video or taken a selfie simply upload it to your blog, Facebook page or Twitter account using the #NoMirrorMakeup hashtag and then text HSBP14 with the amount you wish to donate, to 70070.
Here’s my #NoMirrorMakeup challenge video:

    Do you know when you hear someone's voice and you just go: "Oh that's lovely!" That's your voice! Thank you so much for doing this. Love the input from the littles! You are so much better at this than me. I looked like a clown! Thank you so much. xx
