Whilst working during London Fashion Week and assisting alongside the one and only truly amazing inspirational and creative Val Garland for the delightful designer Temperley London, I got the chance to try the new make-up collection and lipsticks by Rodial called Suede Lips. Rodial Skincare was launched in 1999 with the huge success of the famous Dragon Blood range and drive and determination by Maria Hatzistefanis herself to bring this inspirational brand to the industry. The Rodial Suede Lips were the first lipstick to be launched straight after the Temperley Show and available to buy online...

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...

If you read my regular blogs you will see I am a huge fan of Charlotte Tilbury make-up and I use it for my own personal use as well as work.

Straight off the catwalks of New York, London, Paris and Milan the summer make-up trend is blue eyeliner. How can you wear blue eyeliner without looking like you have gone back in time in the 1980’s or looking like ABBA. The trick is to make the focus on the eyeliner but keep the rest of the make-up on the skin and lips really natural. Less is more with this type of look. To create the look I used a blue khol pencil by Daniel Sandler Moisturiser:  Steamcream Foundation:  Armani Silk Foundation Concealer:  Amazing Concealer Mascara:  RMK 03W Eyebrows:  Eylure Eyebrow...
