Beauty made easy by Topshop

I had the pleasure of working with Topshop for the launch of their new make-up brand Topshop Make-up. An array of cheap and cheerful products with easy application. My favourites were the nail polishes at just £5 a pop, 1-2 coats is enough and incredibly long lasting results. Bold shades of red to hot pink lipsticks in the form of a pencil/crayon to ensure great precision are only £7. Smokey eyes are made easy with their beautifully soft kohl pencils and crayons (£4-£6), helping create a perfect blend.

Each season Topshop introduces a new limited edition collection focusing on current fashion trends. For Spring/Summer you can team your festival get-up with metallic crayons, glitter pots and highly pigmented eyeshadow trios.

All available online at www.topshop.com/makeup where you can pick up top tips from make-up artist Hannah Murray's video tutorials or check out your local Topshop.

Glasswork Studios

An exciting new set up by two friends of mine Damien Paul and Lauren Lewis,

www.glasswork-studios.com is a unique blend of boutique fashion pieces at affordable prices, as well as regular editorial features on current trends (hair and make-up by me in the 'trends' section), spotlights on their featured designers and where's hot to trot in their favourite cities across the globe, currently focusing on London and New York.

The guys are running a pop-up shop in Covent Garden until 20th June. They've styled it out with a large white bubble sofa, bistro table and chairs and fresh flowers to give the feel of a stylish, contemporary home for buyers to check out brands such as Sass & Bide, Karen Walker, Current/Elliott and Gryphon. Any purchases can be delivered to your door or taken home on the day. Get yourself down to 34 Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5AA.

Woss UUUUUPPP!

An exciting Thursday aft last week in the BBC studios working with make-up artist Emma Osborne to prep Alphabeat for their big stint on The Jonathan Ross Show. I worked alongside Emma to preen the guys for their performance of their new single DJ. Stine looked amazing, wearing a beautiful dress designed by my friends at Aqua.

Such a catchy tune too, my new guilty pleasure methinks!

See their performance here...

Through The Looking Glass

One of my most favourite shoots to date.... 17 year old cutesie Suki turns into bedroom seductress. I love how these model beauts transform into character when they get in front of the camera with a bit o slap on!

Thanks to Nathan Hudson Jenkins for his amazing photography skills, fantastic Love magazine stylist Carlos Nazario, Hannah Phillips again working wonders on hair and make-up by moi. A fantastic team, had so much fun and constantly inspired all day. Suki's hobby is photopgraphy, she takes random snapshots with an old point and shoot camera and has some really interesting stuff, I'll post her link up soon.

These are just a few backstage shots, re-touches will be posted soon so watch this space x

Greasepaint

I've been lucky enough to use Rankin's new Kentish Town studio for a couple of test shoots now, buzzing off each and every one and they keep getting better. Bouncing off this fab team - hair stylist Hannah Phillips, stylists Nova and Natasha and last but definitely not least photographer Damien Fry, to create two great looks on Esther and Ivory, glossy eyes looking hoooot! Congrats to Esther who, thanks to these shots, was signed to Union Models following the shoot.
