Do you want to learn what suits your shape best but hate shopping?  Do you have lots of makeup product but dont' really know how to apply it?  This is the case with many of us, so in response to this Portobello Institute set about offering 3 hour workshops in Personal Styling and Makeup and the feedback has been great.

 The first of our Spring Styling workshops took place at the weekend.  Hosted by Sarah Rickard, chief fashion stylist for Irish Tatler the workshop was a fantastic insight into spring/summer looks and where to get it on the high street so you don't have to break the bank to look your best this season.  To open Sarah talked to the group about the key looks for summer including the day dress, seventies, nudes and bright colours, showing how you can adapt current trends to your own style and body shape.  The group then had the opportunity to chat to Sarah on a more personal basis and ask her any questions about their own personal style and how to dress.  The workshop finished off wtih a Spring/Summer makeup demo led by Makeup artist for top brand Inglot Audrey O'Brien.  If you fancy Spring cleaning your warbrobe and learing some tips from the experts there are still some places left on our April and May workshops http://www.portobelloinstitute.ie/creative-studies/fashion-courses/spring-styling-masterclass-make-up-demo
