I just love creating some amazing make-up looks for editorial magazines and my latest work has been shown online with Material Girl magazine. The key focus for this look was the strong black eyeliner which had a 1960's influence from some of the iconic looks from Jean Shrimpton to Brigitte Bardot. To create the look you need use the blackest of eyeliners - you may be saying but "black is black".  Some blacks have a grey undertone so for the look I wanted the black to really stand out as the strongest feature thanks to Pat McGrath latest limited edition eyeliner.

It is always such an amazing surprise when I receive make-up in the post for me to try. The latest make-up product I have received is by Daniel Sandler. I immediately was inspired to use the Radiant Glow Illuminating Face powder on a client to create a similar look to the pink from pink peonies.   The look my client wanted was to create those rosy cheeks with a gentle cat flick eyeliner. How I used the Daniel Sandler Radiant Glow Illuminating Face Powder To create the colour on the cheeks I used a small blusher brush and used the four colours in the palette to create the glow. Secondly...

If you read my previous blogs you will know I am a huge fan of Lipstick Queen. Lipstick Queen created 20 years ago by Poppy King in Australia in search of the perfect lipstick.   The latest lipstick to be introduced to the range is Frog Prince. You may be looking shocked at the thought of applying an emerald green coloured lipstick but wait and see the magic happens. Once you apply Frog Prince onto the lips, the warmth of the lips change the green lipstick to various shades of rosebud pink depending on your own natural pH and your own skintone. Why you must purchase this lipstick kissable...

Summertime has begun and as you will know in my previous blog I talked about getting the summer glow on your skin with the Hard Chemistry Glow "Oil" self – tanning product. This week I thought I would review the sun care range from La Roche-Posay. Over the years (and it seems to be getting worse as I am getting older) I have noticed my skin not only doesn’t like too much sun but also it struggles with sun cream.   I can manage a couple of days and then by the 3rd/4th day my skin becomes blotchy, itchy and heat rashes occur on my skin. Of course, being in the industry, I am fully...

Summer is here and the scary thought is showing of those lilly white legs ! Do you want that gorgeous glow on the skin? Over the last couple of weeks I have been testing the alternative self tanning product for the body Glow “Oil” by Hand Chemistry. Which is under the umbrella brand of DECIEM. Glow “Oil” is an award winning 2015 self tanning product with Cosmopolitan Beauty Labs, CEW Beauty Awards Finalist and Women’s Health Future Beauty Awards. What is the difference to this product to other self tanning brands? It is DHA free. DHA in a nutshell is a colourless chemical...
