Hi Ladies, Lasses, lads and friends.

I am here to chit chat about my tishtoshtips in make up.

I have been working in the industry for some years now in editorial, commerical, fashion catwalk, music promos and awards shows such as "The Brits" prime times television shows and glitzy red carpet events.

I absolutely love what i do and want to share it with you. Afterall what's the point of having knowledge if you can't pass it on! If Einstein kept it all to himself where would be all be???

Yesterday i worked on another fashion shoot for RANDOM magazine
www.random-magazine.com new'ish mag, similar to POP and 10 out twice a year at major department stores.
Our lady of the day was the stunning Kaya Scodelario, the lead role in "Skins". She was such an angel, eyes as big and beautiful that would put Bambi to shame. Our theme was around Edie Sedgwick and Andy Wahol so a sixties vibe but a modern day version. We all had a fun day shooting in the blazing sun (using factor 25 of course) on the roof top of The Queen of Hoxton. Photographer Tomo's ideas were unique and the backdrop and props used added a party feel, all i can say is i won't look at streamers and balloons in the same light any more! Tomo's one to watch so you heard it here first.
Great Styling as ever by Rivkie Baum and Timi on the hair. Me as mumma make up so The complete glam squad!
I used Armani base, no2 making her paler than she is as i wanted that sixites feel, mac pro paint on lids in white topped with pigment, grey definition in socket in a sleek line and of course oodles of black eye liner, i love the shu Uemura eye liner liquid pens, just the right amount of liquid is released every time. I added white and light pink to the inside lower lash line all the way around the eye shape taking it slightly below the outer lash line to, then Eliabath Arden liner underneath the white line swweping it out to the far corner leaving a gap between the top lid liner and bottom where I filled in white at the outer corner of the eye and also a pop in the inner corners by the bridge of the nose.
lancome pearle cutesy pink blush and Mac nude lipstick blotted for matt effect and off she went.
Shoot will feature in next month's issue so make sure you grab a copy. Selfridges sell it and all book stores.
Next week the same team are doing a two day shoot based around Faith, Belief and religion. Big production 18 models each day themed around Michael Angelo's paintings, also using character types as we want God to make an appearance and we're also confirming "celebs" too if they aren't already on hols in Ibiza so I'll let you know how that day goes too

Bye for now and remember to blend blend blend and blend some more!
