Top to Toe Tutorial: Cashmere and the Sultry Eye

I have a new video format that I hope you’ll enjoy; it incorporates makeup, hair, nails and fashion in one lovely hit! It won’t replace dedicated makeup tutorials, but I do hope that you’ll find these “Top to Tow” videos more interesting and useful. I’m kind of bored of just seeing my head on screen…

Following the Clarins Smoky Eye Instructions!

Clarins’ autumn-winter eye palette is the “Odyssey” quartet; a palette with three satin shadows and one that can only be described as “high glitterati”! It’s so shimmery! Large flakes of golden glitter pressed into a creamy shadow base. I followed the instructions that came with the palette to create a very festive smoky eye and I…

My Perfect Summertime Look!

This is a lovely, natural look for late summer. Let’s not get bogged down with the heavy, russety autumnal colours just yet, eh? I’ll leave off for at least another week, so long as you don’t mind me being “behind the times”. Let’s say that I’m just being “fashionably late” instead. There’s still some summer…

The No Concealer Concealer that is a Concealer. (Sigh.)

I have absolutely no quibbles with this concealer – I think that it’s fabulous. Oh, hold on, I’ve thought of a quibble: the name. Why on earth is it called “No Concealer Concealer”? That makes no sense. It’s very much a concealer – it should, if anything, be called Yes Concealer Concealer, or just Yes Concealer, or –…

I was inspired to make this one because I have been judging products for the Zest Beauty Awards and there were some absolute gems from the high-street and budget brands. This is the first of two videos – the next one will cover haircare, skincare and…

Some of you may have seen me appearing here there and everywhere in a little Youtube commercial for YSL’s Teinte Touche Éclat. I’ve got the full-length version of my “section” embedded below should you want to watch it! Did anyone try the foundation when they were doing the free trials? I really like it –…

New Romantic?

Wow. This is a bit eighties, isn’t it? It’s actually the exact look that I did for the Eye Makeup video last week, so you can see how I created it here, but it looks very different in this weird lighting. My eyebrows are almost disappearing! Do you know what, though, I have been thinking…
