New AW15 Campaign Shoot

Here's a new AW15 look on my beautiful model Cristina N from MOT models. I've used a range of taupe hues on the eyes, cheeks and lips to create a autumnal vibe. Product picks are, Cork eyeshadow from MAC, Laguna Bronzer from Nars, Taupe lipstick from Mac. 

Shoot for The Tomorrow Store

My new work is up on The Tomorrow Store.com for their new SS15 collection.

Makeup was kept sheeny on the skin, a bit smudgy around the eyes and a pop or orange/red on the lips but kept matte. Hair was wetted down with lots of salt spray. 

Full product breakdown coming soon!

Blog On MOSI with QVS Beauty!

I had a fab day on Saturday at the Bloggers conference at MOSI. QVS beauty contacted me to help them demo their makeup tools and show other bloggers how to get the best results. I had a whole range of tools to play with:

Now I must admit I would normally shy way from 'value' brands as I just wouldn't believe the quality was that great...so I was very pleasently surprised by the quality of these brushes and they are all made from natural materials :)

My personal favourites were the stubby blusher brush (which is best for buffing in foundation) and the eyeshadow blending/crease brush (which is in a three brush set). Each retails for about £6!!!!! Crazy.

I can't wait to use them in my freelance work. You can get yours from Amazon!
