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.

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...

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...
