The Hepburn vibes are back! This time it's for QP Jewellers and their amazing summer campaign, ready to showcase 2023's delicate gemstone pieces that bring a summery elegance to any look. You could say I'm on a bit of a roll with my Audrey inspiration right now after my work for the Belle Bridal Issue 26 cover, she truly honed and defined the perfect classy makeup look that had the perfect little touch of attitude.  That's why of course this look had to keep the pop of drama in the cat eye eyliner flick, using Stila's Stay All Day Eyeliner for that sharp definition.

Viva Magenta is all the rage for 2023 according to the official Pantone Colour institute and this shoot for Ruby & Oscar's hasn't shied away from leaning into the pink craze. As colour of the year, it's here to embody a fearless empowerment that's unconventional yet captivating.

The True Velvet Lip combo of Lipstick and Gloss in Carnival was exactly the striking pink I was looking for to represent the adventurous spirit of Pantone's...

Another season means another Ruby & Oscar campaign, releasing the latest of their fine gemstone jewellery adorned with a mixture of natural and lab grown gemstones set in precious metals in a plethora of striking designs.    This spring collection was all about a pop of colour for the brand, which I think they've nailed with shades of delicious greens in the emerald collection and luxurious purple hues sparkling within the amethysts.   It was really fun to take this spring time inspiration with the team at Ruby & Oscar and translate it into makeup. I was feeling...
