Makeup on the Train

Makeup on the Train

Much to the annoyance of the man next to me, I did a full face of makeup on my way from London Euston to Birmingham International on the Virgin Pendolino service. I didn't feel bad, because this man had the most infuriating way of breathing I have ever encountered. It...

NEW: Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

NEW: Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

I've been itching to tell you about this cute little "mini Naked" palette from Urban Decay! It's not actually a "mini" version of the Naked palette at all, though it is much, much smaller; it's actually something of a matte version. If you have either of the original...

My Current Makeup Routine for Filming…

My Current Makeup Routine for Filming…

Here's my latest video - the makeup routine that I've been following for my latest bout of filming days. (Daily Mix TV launches next week, by the way - if you're not subscribed, you can find all of the details on this page here.) If you were interested in seeing the...

Autumn Makeup Favourites

Autumn Makeup Favourites

Please be seated for my Autumn Favourites video - a little edit of some bits and pieces that I've been messing about with recently. It's actually very few products compared to the usual seasonal round-ups - I always feel as though I put too much in, and so I've really...

Brilliant Givenchy Fluid Foundation. Just Brilliant.

Brilliant Givenchy Fluid Foundation. Just Brilliant.

This week's favourite makeup routine? The warm, natural look with a hint of gold around the eyes. Believe it or not, the makeup in the photograph was applied twelve hours before - I did eight hours of filming outside in the freezing cold before cosying up in this...

Chanel Rouge Allure – Le Click

Chanel Rouge Allure – Le Click

You may call me a Packaging Pervert, because I absolutely am and I'm not embarrassed to admit it. My latest fetish comes in the form of Chanel's Rouge Allure lipsticks - sleek black packaging with (to the uninitiated) no apparent way in. Until you click the bottom and...

Top to Toe Tutorial: Cashmere and the Sultry Eye

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...

Following the Clarins Smoky Eye Instructions!

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...

Suqqu Frame Fix Foundation Review

Suqqu Frame Fix Foundation Review

You've got to love my new Canon 650D. It takes no prisoners when it comes to detail - I zoomed in on the photograph above and it literally took my on a journey down one of my open pores. Scary stuff! But quite useful when looking at how makeup products perform; you...

My Pick of the Autumn Lipsticks

My Pick of the Autumn Lipsticks

I have to be honest here and say that the "Autumn" collections are always my least favourite. It's always the same old blah blah blah, dark lipsticks and eyeshadows in varying shades of "leaves turning orange, then brown, then falling from the tree as the sun sets...

My Perfect Summertime Look!

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...

Eternally Stylish: Guerlain’s Starlet Red

Eternally Stylish: Guerlain’s Starlet Red

Something insanely lush for you to covet - you may thank me later. This is the Rouge G l'Extrait from Guerlain, an entirely faultless lipstick encased in something that can only be described as a work of art. Now I know that Guerlain are known for their fine...
