Sheer and Natural Everyday Makeup

Sheer and Natural Everyday Makeup

A very sheer and natural makeup look for you in this video - dewy textures, glowy formulas and a healthy, youthful sort of finish. Those thinking of investing in either the Hourglass Illume Trio or Becca's Aqua Luminous foundation might find it particularly...

Instant Skin Lift: Creme Puff in Seductive Pink

Instant Skin Lift: Creme Puff in Seductive Pink

There have been lots of comments about my blusher in the Empties video that I posted last week: it's the Creme Puff Blush in Seductive Pink from Max Factor. Rather more pinkish than I would ever usually go, but I was filming one of my Beauty Recommended videos and...

Hourglass Sheer Colour Trio: Perfected Summer Glow

Hourglass Sheer Colour Trio: Perfected Summer Glow

Cream cheek products can be rather hit and miss; too sheer, too difficult to blend, or quite often simply too creamy so that they slide about and streak and set in all of the wrong places. But few things rival a cream blush or bronzer if you're looking for that truly...

Easy Festival Makeup and The Quickest Smokey Eye

Easy Festival Makeup and The Quickest Smokey Eye

I've been a bit out of sorts for the past few days, so apologies for the lack of post yesterday, I know how many of you look forward to the Sunday Tittle Tattle! I'll be back into the swing of things shortly, but for now here's the latest video - a very quick and easy...

Chanel Empreinte Du Désert: Your Summer Eye Look Sorted

Chanel Empreinte Du Désert: Your Summer Eye Look Sorted

If you're looking for one luxe item to add life to your summer makeup bag then you could do worse than Chanel's Empreinte Du Désert eyeshadow quad. I've been using it for the past month or so, almost on a daily basis, and it has the perfect trio of shimmery, simmering...

Complexion Rescue: The Total Tiredness Turnaround

Complexion Rescue: The Total Tiredness Turnaround

This is the second time in only a few weeks that I've gone to write a rave review about something and then found that I've already done a rave review about it. On the one hand, it's very annoying, because I invest quite a bit of time testing things, photographing...

Get Ready With Me: Jimmy Choo Dinner

Get Ready With Me: Jimmy Choo Dinner

I had a (mostly) baby-free afternoon last week and so I thought I'd film myself getting ready for a Jimmy Choo 20th Anniversary dinner that I was attending. This sort of video is widely known as - rather unimaginatively, but we'll let that pass - a Get Ready With Me...

Vinyl Couture Mascara and the Easiest Blue Eyes

Vinyl Couture Mascara and the Easiest Blue Eyes

Here's an easy way to wear blue around the eyes without looking like a five year old in a beauty pageant: a few coats of mascara wiggled right into the roots of the lashes, top and bottom, so that there's almost a haze of colour defining the eye. It looks great on an...

Summer Makeup and Miscellaneous Ramblings

Summer Makeup and Miscellaneous Ramblings

Filming in my new office is not going well. Not at all. I can't really talk to Mr AMR about this as when the office was being designed (it's newly built and at the bottom of the garden) he asked me a million questions about whether such and such wall dimensions or...

Dior Ultra Gloss: The Glamorous Glazed-Doughnut Shine

Dior Ultra Gloss: The Glamorous Glazed-Doughnut Shine

I promised a slightly more in-depth review of Dior's new Ultra Gloss but then realised, re-reading my last mention, that I had already summed it up pretty well. This is gloss with attitude - a mirror-like shine and a finish that's a little tougher than usual. Like the...

Touche Éclat and my YSL “Awake Face” | AD

Touche Éclat and my YSL “Awake Face” | AD

A very radiant face for you, today, using YSL's relaunched Touche Éclat Le Teint foundation. The new Touche Éclat Le Teint has been reformulated in response to customer feedback to provide the same glowy finish but with a more comprehensive coverage - it's perfect for...

Dolce & Gabbana, Summer In Italy. Sizzle Sizzle…

Dolce & Gabbana, Summer In Italy. Sizzle Sizzle…

I've been playing about with Dolce & Gabbana's Summer In Italy collection, which includes a lemon yellow eyeshadow, a creamy gold shimmer pot for face and eyes and a bronzer with the most colourful packaging I've ever seen. The matte eye monos are unbelievably...
