The art of make-up has been part of our human history for at least 6 000 years.  It is in integral element of most ladies’ daily routine nowadays.  Yet so often the full potential is not utilised.  Elizna Swart, owner of Emagin8 comments “I never really understood the phrase ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ until the first time I held a make-up palette in my hand, in front of my ‘canvas’.  I’ve worked with so many beautiful women – from teenagers, to the timeless beauty you will find in a grandmother.  Each of them has their own unique features, whether it’s the shape of their eyes or the fine lines around their mouths. Being different is great, but we all have something in common, make-up!”
