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 a lot of chit-chat going down! If you can’t see the video player below then do click here to watch it on Youtube.
Watch the video below to witness a full-on disintegration of my mental faculties. It happens at around three or four o’clock every day and apparently this isn’t a temporary pregnancy thing: it stays after the baby has been born!
