On Monday morning, Uncle Ervan held a make-up lesson for his assistants, Cassandra, Elaine and Valentina at his Chatswood studio. I love observing Uncle Ervan at work as I always learn something new and am inspired to get all creative and stuff. x.

Uncle E's studio.

Why raid Mum's make-up drawer when you have Uncle E's make-up collection?

Valentina in love hearts.

Uncle E and Valentina trying to find the right (skin foundation) colour.

Cassandra recounting her most recent gig.

Valentina about to apply fake lashes. P.S. How cool is her tattoo? It's a fleur de lis.

After the eyelashes comes the mascara.

Uncle E says, "It's all about blending!"

Eye shadow au naturale.

All brushed up.

Valentina's turn to play model.

In action.

Perfect!
