I’m Sorry for Partying…

I’m Sorry for Partying…

Yes, I know: "partying" used as a verb. As bad as "holidaying", in my books - where do you holiday? - but still. I wore it emblazoned across my chest on a Milly NY t-shirt: "Sorry for Partying". I wish I had time to "party" - the most I've managed recently was a...

Detoxing My Makeup Bag

Detoxing My Makeup Bag

The video below shows an enthusiastic attempt to de-clutter my ridiculously full makeup bag. There were seven foundations in there! Five concealers! Twelve eyeshadow brushes! I wanted a streamlined version with just a few favourite products that I love and can rely on...

My Five Most-Used Face Bases…

My Five Most-Used Face Bases…

This video is a bit of a "precursor" to the full-length foundation guide that I'm going to film in the New Year. I've picked out my five most-used foundations and bases and shown them in action, along with a little blurb about each and the kind of coverage and finish...

Retro Hair Waves and Natural, Glowing Makeup…

Retro Hair Waves and Natural, Glowing Makeup…

I'm rather pleased with my latest video - I've mastered the art of the loose curl using my Babyliss Pro Curl! With the accompanying glowy, sunkissed skin I'll admit that it's not very Christmassy, but I am in Dubai and it's about twenty seven degrees here so it just...

My Updated Autumn Makeup Look

My Updated Autumn Makeup Look

Here's the Autumn makeup look from Monday's video, shown in full. And yes I did revise it and remove the dark, harsh eyeliner! Although many of you actually really liked it (thank you for your kind words) I couldn't quite get my head around it and so I re-filmed using...

Quick and Easy Autumn Makeup Updates

Quick and Easy Autumn Makeup Updates

A short and sweet little roundup of my quick makeup updates for Autumn. Generally, things in my makeup bag just get a little more sultry and warm; a tawnier bronzer (or brownish blush, depending on which way you look at it), a vampish nail colour, a stronger brow and...

Emergency Random House-Moving Video…

Emergency Random House-Moving Video…

I'm so sorry - this video is quite random because I filmed the main part of it weeks ago, but when I went to try and create something last week I couldn't find my big camera or my tripod or my lights or anything. Turned out that they were in the box that was at the...

Summer Skin, Autumn Nudes and Olay’s new CC Cream!

Summer Skin, Autumn Nudes and Olay’s new CC Cream!

Recently I've been experimenting with darker, more autumnal neutrals in my makeup looks. Sometimes they work, sometimes I end up wiping off lipstick and toning down my eyeshadow as I hurtle into town on the tube, but I'm enjoying the process at any rate. After months...

My Homemade Burberry Makeup Look

My Homemade Burberry Makeup Look

So many people commented on my makeup that I wore to the Burberry show that I thought I'd knock together a quick recreation of it on video. It isn't exact, I'm afraid, but that's partly because I didn't have the foggiest recollection of how I'd done it all in the...

How to Get the Glow and Stop the Shine!

How to Get the Glow and Stop the Shine!

Possibly the worst of the summer skin problems is having to deal with excess shine. Shine either brought on by overactive oil glands or by sweating or both. Not the most glamorous of subjects, I grant you, but you're talking to the woman who wrote a whole post about...

Follow Me to Paris…

Follow Me to Paris…

Last week I dashed over to Paris to attend an amazing party that celebrated the launch of the Alber Elbaz for Lancome makeup range. You can read my post about the makeup here - I called the post Lancome in Lanvin's Clothing, which I thought was incredibly witty at the...

Pixiwoo Swimming Pool Makeup Tutorial

Pixiwoo Swimming Pool Makeup Tutorial

For those who were asking about a tutorial on my TWO Magazine cover makeup - it's out. Sam from Pixiwoo actually filmed the tutorial on the shoot itself, so it's a nice behind-the-scenes kind of video, as well as being instructive. I say instructive, but there's also...
