Last week I had the pleasure of spending the day filming videos with mega-makeup artist extraordinaire, Caroline Barnes. Caroline works on the biggest A-listers and is an absolute mine of information when it comes to makeup tricks and tips - everything from plumping...
After a myriad of recent BB/CC/DD cream disasters, I was both relieved and delighted to find that bareMinerals' new complexion-enhancing offering, the "Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream" was something of a winner. It's basically just a very, very good...
I made a nice little bronzing video for The Telegraph this week; I was trying to channel 1990's Kate Moss, so very dusty bronzed skin with nothing much on the eyes or lips. I put to use one of my favourite summertime products, Chanel's Tan de Soleil, which is a cream...
Oh dear, I look rather threatening in the photograph above, don't I? I'm brandishing my monthly favourites in one hand whilst wearing a somewhat hostile expression - not intentionally, I hasten to add. I just tend to get very fed up by the time I've filmed a video...

Ah, here we are again. Monthly favourites. Apologies in advance; I have been on a bit of a beauty "hiatus" this month, partly because I spent the first two weeks of it watching The Good Wife and partly because I still haven't properly sorted out my beauty room. I...
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...
My hunt for a new tinted moisturiser took a new turn last month, when Nuz Shugaa (my skin guru and facial guardian angel!) recommended that I try Madara's Tinting Fluid. Madara is a range of beauty products (skin, hair body) that is entirely natural and organic. No...

It’s made it into the hunt because it’s blindingly good value at £6.50.
The hunt for a new tinted moisturiser begins!
