I have been following Charlotte Tilbury for many years in the world of make-up and was so thrilled to see her bring out her own make-up range last year at Selfridges London.
A quick dash to London to make some purchases (I prefer to buy direct so I can try the make-up on rather than order online). Although Charlotte Tilbury website is so easy to use plus the website is full of brilliant ideas and advice throughout.
Today my blog is on the Luxury Quad Eye Shadow Palette
Sumptuous, so easy to use with 8 palettes to choose from. The difficulty will be trying to decide which one you like...
During the month of January I spent two days on location at a photo shoot with a team of photographers and videographer from CCAD ( Cleveland Art and Design) at Hartlepool.
I was prepped beforehand regarding the looks that CCAD were trying to achieve for the Degree Guide. During the course of the two days we were in and around the campus at Hartlepool, on the beach and the famous HMS Trincomalee ship to find the right location for each image to suit the clothing. All the clothing was designed by previous students from CCAD.
All our images can be seen in the Degree Guide and my work is shown...
Wow, where do you begin choosing a foundation ?
There are so many to choose from on the market from light, medium, matt, sheer, satin coverage but one of the foundations I always go back to, particulary for photoshoots for magazine, editorial, beauty shots is the Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation. Everytime I see Holly Hagan we talked endlessly about how fabulous the Illamasqua Skin Base foundation is….here's some of my latest work with Holly.
My main reasons are:
Extensive range of colours to suit all skin types
Easy to apply with either fingertips or with a foundation brush to give...
Once a month I meet up with the famous Holly Hagan from the hit MTV Geordie Shore series, which is airing Series 7 very soon. The photoshoot is to showcase Holly's latest collection with The Fashion Bible.
This particular day we were shooting on location with photographer Jade Turnbull at the Ebony Champagne and Cocktail Bar in Durham.
I have chosen some behind the scene images so you can see me applying all Illamasqua make-up on Holly before the shoot begins. Listed below are the products used on the day.

What an amazing opportunity I had in February the chance to work as part of a make-up team headed up by Amanda Bell at London Fashion Week for Fashion Designer Emaliomada.
The brief for the make-up was neutral skin foundation, brows to be defined with a straight masculine feel and lashings of reds, oranges and golds for the eyes with a final touch of nude lips.
The location One Mayfair London.
The images I have selected are behind the scene with me working with my gorgeous model

I get requests all the time from brides who love the “smoky eye look” and clients who are having private make-up lessons often remark how they love the smoky eyes but struggle with what products to use.
Last year I came across the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour for my own make-up bag , my favourite colour being Plum.
These sticks are one of the easiest products to create smouldering smoky eyes and they are available in numerous different colours. The Caviar sticks are ultra creamy, long lasting, transfer and crease resistant, perfect for long lasting effect. They can be purchased...
There are many things I love in life .... too many to name!! But I must talk about make-up and saving the bees.
When I saw this latest palette launched by Chantecaille for Spring 2014 - Save the Bees Collection, I thought I must write about it.
Every season Chantecaille bring out a palette where 5% of the proceeds go to the designated charity. Last month I wrote about the Wild Horses.
It may be wet, cold and grey outside but this latest palette of Spring colours of warm coral, pink and soft nectar brings some sunshine to the face.
The palette comes in 4 refillable sections:
