The Five Minute Face! with freelance make-up artist Rachel Fisher.

07/03/2012, 7.30pm to 9pm

Rachel Fisher, a recent arrival to the Cotswolds from London, is a freelance make-up artist. She specialises in wedding and party faces for women who want to easily and confidently reflect the best of themselves rather than wear a mask that takes hours to put on and take off. Rachel has agreed to give us a demo showing how busy women like us can take less than 5 minutes in the morning to bring out the best. She’ll need a volunteer or two! Any offers?
