When Unveiled Magazine asked me to create the make-up for these latest images for the Issue 06 I was so excited.   My inspiration for this look comes from working backstage on all the catwalk shows in London, Paris and Milan with a mixture of a “ethereal look” taken from the oil paintings who created this magical aspect to the skin.     The make-up I used to create this “editorial look” was by Pat McGrath.   The skin had this “editorial glow” especially on the cheekbones where it was truly captured by the camera.   Full credit to the amazing team Photographer: ...

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...

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...
