Tips I Learnt from a Pro Makeup Artist for Natural Looking Skin

I’ve always admired professional artists’ makeup on celebs and have wondered what it would be like to have my makeup applied by a professional MUA for one simple reason: am I doing it right at home?

UPSIDE DOWN MANGO CAKE RECIPE Ingredients TOPPIN UPSIDE DOWN MANGO CAKE RECIPE

Ingredients

TOPPING
1 large mango, peeled and cut into 0.5cm slices
65g brown sugar
55g butter, melted

CAKE
Wet-Mix
180ml milk (semi-skimmed)
1 tsp vanilla essence
60g butter, melted

Dry Mix
195g plain flour
1 1/2tsp baking soda
170g caster sugar
A pinch of sea salt

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 180C / Gas Mark 4 and grease an 8” diameter cake tin and line it with baking parchment. 
2. To a saucepan add the caster sugar and butter, place over a low heat & allow the sugar & butter to melt into a caramel. This should take a few minutes. When the caramel is an amber color, remove it from the heat – be careful not to leave it too long as it will quickly burn & turn bitter.
3. Pour the caramel into your cake tin, covering the bottom completely if possible. Neatly lay all the mango strips in the cake tin, starting with the edges first & working your way in.
4. Combine all the wet ingredients in measuring jug. In a large mixing bowl sift together the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet mix and fold together using your spatula in a figure of 8 motion.
5. Pour the cake mixture directly onto the mango into the cake tin and give it a little tap on the surface to remove any air pockets.
6. Pop the cake into the oven on the bottom shelf to bake for 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the cake and removed comes out clean.
7. Once the cake has cooked, allow it to slightly cool for 5 minutes before removing it from the tin. Serve the cake with coconut cream, fresh mint leaves & little lime juice.
