I want to talk about contouring in greater detail soon; there seems to have been this crazy fad for it and I'm not sure that everyone has been embracing the trend with quite the caution and trepidation that they should have been. There's a reason why it's a relatively...
Kicking off the new week with some brilliant, powerful face masks. These are the kind of masks that you can rely on to give your skin a proper overhaul in a very short amount of time; brightening, smoothing and plumping, brilliant for erasing signs of fatigue or...
This has been a pet project of mine for the past few years; finding very high coverage concealers that will fade out dark circles without making them grey and ashy. I have tried - quite literally - hundreds, and though there are dozens of them that work well, I've...
Lengthiest post in the world alert. Do you remember when I recruited some skin care guinea pigs to test out the new Effaclar Anti-Blemish System*? Way back when the sun was shining and we weren't being relentlessly pelted with hailstones and cold rain? Well the...
I was tinkering about with some gorgeous Tom Ford makeup over the weekend, experimenting with a few products that I want to include in upcoming videos. I loved the autumnal feel of the photograph above; warm, slightly tawny and beautifully glowing. The skin is less...
I'm becoming more and more adventurous with my face oils, trying all sorts of different textures and blends. There are so many out there to choose from - dry oils, oils with aromatherapy blends, balancing oils for blemish-prone skin, regenerating oils for damaged skin...
Something of a momentous post, this one, because today is the day that my dry shampoo range, COLAB, launches. What dry shampoo range? I hear you cry. This is the first I've bloody heard about it! Apologies, my dearest readers, but I've been under a bit of a gagging...
Wah! Sorry to be a total beauty enabler this week, but Narciso Eau de Parfum by Narciso Rodriguez is just an absolute show-stopper. Look at that bottle! So understated and chic with its smooth, square lid and simple bottle design. And how many white perfumes have you...
A mixed bag of favourites, this month (last month, rather - so sorry it's late!) but there are a few real beauty crackers for you. I have been testing out eye makeup removers recently, and I will do a bigger post on my findings, but I couldn't wait to tell you about...
Space NK are running their Discover promotion again - £10 off if you spend £40 or more - and I have an exclusive preview code for readers of A Model Recommends that allows access to the promotion a day before everyone else. The idea behind the "discovery" element is...
I have a proper thing for This Works' original Deep Sleep Pillow Spray. I get twitchy without it. It sends me into the kind of deep sleep that could only otherwise be achieved after a couple of large glasses of heavy Chianti and an episode of the Antiques Roadshow....
Some gorgeous, soothing moisturisers for skin that's on the dry or sensitive side or that's beginning to feel the effects of the slightly cooler weather. All of the face creams and lotions above are very calming, I find, and though they each vary in their density and...
