RMS Beauty Living Luminzer

A product that surely needs very little introduction, Living Lumizer is a real cult favourite and one of the few organic make-up products which has made it big time - Make-up Artists Kenneth Soh and Alice Lane are both big fans as are Miranda Kerr and Gisele!

Making your Christmas an eco-friendly one needn't push the budget and to prove the point I have put together a list of clean, green make-up gift ideas that come in under £20.00 (approximately $30.00USD).

From Desk To Dancefloor

The Christmas season is now in full swing and many in-boxes and in-trays are full of emails, texts and memos arranging after work drinks and office dinners and parties. Those last minute invitations are great but can prove more than a little stressful if you don't feel you have time to prepare for the occasion.

Strobing Products For Every Skin Tone

Contouring is so last year. At long last the Kardashian inspired (and much over [and often badly] used) trend is waining and there is a new kid on the block; Strobing. In all honesty Strobing is nothing new - Make-up Artist have been using this techniques for enos but we just called it highlighting...

Earthnicity Mineral Blusher in Blaze

A couple of weeks ago I was shooting an advertising campaign at Heathrow Airport Terminal 5. During the shoot I was responsible for the hair and make-up and grooming of the two models involved and the brief was to create two looks; the first was casual and relaxed and the second, a polished professional look. 

Top five: Products I'm Loving - Summer 2015

An poor nights sleep followed by an early morning train a couple of weeks ago caused me to call in a little extra help in a desperate bid to look somewhat human for work that day. Rummaging through my make-up bag I plumped upon this little tube...

We Evade Studio 78 Paris

With days getting warmer and distinctly longer, summer is beginning to feel as though it is just around the corner. With this in mind thoughts turn to summer wardrobes and the enevitable baring of pale winter flesh; this is turn to the need for products that add colour

Top Five: Petal Pink Mineral Blusher (matte)

Pink blusher can be a great choice for perking up post winter skin and can take years off you if applied correctly. This Spring/Summer petal pink cheeks seem to be making a comeback with the faces at Versace, Matthew Williamson and Altuzarra all being adorned with a spring flush of colour. 

New Additions: Winter 2014

I have accumulated quite a lot of products over the last couple of months; I haven't been actively looking to but it has just happened. Here's what's new...

New Additions - Autumn 2014

It's been a busy couple of months so I have been doing quite a bit of replenishing of my kit. Some of the bits and pieces I picked up were to restock old favourites, whilst others were complexity new additions. It's been a while since I shared the new additions to my kit, so here we are... (Apologies in advance for the different settings in the photos)
