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!

Pantone: Colours of the Year 2016

For the first time in it's 16 year history, Pantone have for the first time chosen two shades to carry the accolade of being named PANTONE Colour of the Year 2016; Rose Quartz and Serenity...  

A harmonious pairing of inviting shades that embody a mindset of tranquility and inner peace.

Top Five: Products of 2015

I can't believe this post has come Round again so quickly! My mother always says that time seems to speed up as you get older and I think she's right - but 2015 has really flown by! I am ending the year as I have done for the last two or three with a round-up of my favourite products; an eclectic mixture of nails, skin and make-up.

Top Five: Luxury Eco Make-up Christmas Gift Ideas

Now December is underway, I can now turn my thoughts to Christmas. As someone who is mightily antagonised by the appearance of crackers and christmas puddings in the shops before the arrival of the twelfth month, I make a point of not thinking about it until then.

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...

Seduce by RMS Beauty

Earlier this year I attended the launch of the Tinted Un-Cover Up powder at natural and organic beauty store Content. During the evening Rose-Marie Swift talked not only about the powder but also about the other products in her range; showing us not only how to get the best out of them but also how they can be used in other ways...

Top Five: In Flight Make-up Tips

With holidays on the horizon, here is the second of my Top Five tips to travel skincare and make-up...

Love: RMS Beauty Skin2Skin Brushes

I currently have my eye on these two brushes from the doyenne of green beauty Rose-Marie Swift. I had a sneak preview (I've been waiting for their official launch to share the love) of the duo during a recent masterclass and product launch at Content in London's Marylebone - they look and feel fantastic and I fell in love!

Top Five: Purple Lips

OK. I am imagining that purple may not be everyones first pick when it comes to choosing a new lip colour and it certainly isn't for the feint hearted, however with both Rihanna and Lupita Nyongo seen rockin' shades that defiantely aren't for the shrinking violet, it seems that purple lips are here to stay...

Online: Yumi Spring/Summer 2015

Back in December, whilst in the midst of working out what to buy people of christmas, I was worked on an E commerce shoot for fashion line Yumi, shooting the Spring/Summer 2015 collection - here is a little snippet of the make-up...

RMS Beauty Tinted Un Powder Launch

On Thursday night I journeyed into central London to the mecca of clean beauty Content for what I am sure will be one of my highlights of 2015; an exclusive make-up event with Rose-Marie Swift, founder of the eco-luxe make-up line RMS Beauty.

Top Five: Essentials for Natural Looking Eyebrows

I am a big fan of a natural looking eyebrow. I love a full brow that hasn't had too much tinkering and that comes across in many of my make-ups. Eyebrows frame your face. They strengthen, balance and define. They add character. They can also take years off you! A good set of brows can really help carry the rest of your look. Look at rugby players - they often spend their playing years (and more often than not, afterwards) eyebrow-less. Odd.

From The Vault: RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek

I am really enjoying re-reading old posts and finding out if my feelings towards certain products have changed; is the product is still in my kit or have I found a product I prefer?

Top Five: Organic Lilac Eyes

Although there are days when it seems that summer may be trying to make a resurgence, Autumn really is here and I feel that I can finally start mentioning one of trends that I have been trying desperately to avoid throughout September; lilac eyes.

Love: Wearable Colour From RMS Beauty

This month I am completely in love with the four new shades from RMS Beauty.

Top Five: Metallic Bronze Eyeshadow

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, Bronze is big news this summer, as are metallic eyeshadows... Kerpow! 

My Festival Beauty Essentials

The sun is (currently) shining and the wellies are on standby. It can only mean one thing. Festival time!

Education, Education

Make-up is ever evolving and I am a big believer in the old adage you never stop learning. I am always looking to update existing skills, learn new techniques and find out more about products and brands. This week I had an education double bubble and took part in two training sessions - on the same day!
