SUMMER ESSENTIAL

Prada’s Spring 2012 campaign shot by Miesel This summer has been all about sun, surf, and unfortunately for us Sydney-siders, lots of rain! My one go-to surf product (besides SPF 30+, of course!) has been YSL’s Mascara Singulier Waterproof. Love the shape of the brush (it creates long, feathery looking lashes), the jet black shade, and best [...]

PRECIOUS BAMBI

Bambi shot by Stephen Ward So I can’t believe it has taken me so long to share this news but late last year I shot the super lovely and ridiculously pretty Bambi Northwood-Blythe for Russh magazine. It was such a thrill to do her makeup again and I am so in love with the shots. In [...]

SURFER GIRL

Sea salt and skin, that’s all I ask for this summer. Gisele in Givenchy S/S 2012 shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott The weather down under has been pretty shocking for summer (and who know’s if it’s going to get any better), so I’ve decided to quit whinging and make the most of it – [...]

BIRD OF PARADISE EYES

I can never decide if I’m a summer or winter kind of gal. I love the layers of winter and the rich, moody colours, but then when it comes to summer I can’t help but go crazy with colour. This summer (which arrives in three days time !!) this is the look I’ll be playing [...]

ALEXA CHUNG’S SHAGGY-CHIC ‘DO

Alexa Chung shot by Josh Olins for Vogue UK, June 2011 This festival loving, long-legged hipster muse is as low maintenance as they come. A slick of liquid liner, a few minutes with the curling irons and the right products and she’s ready to go. Currently sporting a shoulder length bob, her simple, shaggy chic ‘do [...]

NEON GREEN NAILS

Wang Xiao shot by Jeff Hahn for SCMP Style Magazine To be perfectly honest the thought of bright green nails made me shudder – until now. Wang’s murky, fluro nails perfectly set off her black biker girl look. She’s pretty cool and hella fun. If only I had thought of this first. My pick? Sally Hansen’s [...]

BLACK LINES

Lindsey Wixson photographed by Angelo Pennetta for Self Service. Firstly, love Lindsey Wixson. Secondly, to get those bold, perfectly lined black eyes use waterproof liner on the inner rim of the eyes (the water line) and under the top lashes. Right now I’m loving Laura Mercier’s Tightline Cake Eye Liner in Black Ebony as it hardly [...]

NAME THAT SHADE

Funny Face by Nars. BAM. Naty Chabanenko shot by Fabio Chizzola for Gravure

SHOCKING LOCKS: HOW-TO GET THE LOOK

Photography by Patrick Demarchelier for Vogue US A fortnight ago I wrote an article about the current crazy-coloured hair trend for The Australian newspaper (!!). I distinctly remember the Rodarte wunderkinds showing a variety of coloured extensions aaaages ago at their Spring 2008 show and then those purveyors of cool Proenza Schouler who presented murky looks at their [...]

GREAT WAVES

The secret to these great waves…   Henrietta Hellberg shot by Andrew Yee for Elle Vietnam October 2011   1) Start with clean hair then slowly flat iron from roots to mid lenghts for slick, flat locks. 2) Spritz the bottom half of the hair with ghd’s Curl Hold Spray whilst your curling tongs heat up. [...]

IT’S BACK

Believe me when I say it, blue eyeshadow is back baby! Light blue was slathered across lids at London Fashion Week a fortnight ago but I’m loving this highlighter blue shade seen on Ms Weisz here.. Rachel Weisz shot by Craig McDean   ps. Liner Notes has been a tad quiet as I’ve been fashion [...]

THE NEW ‘DO

Hey you! Hippy chicks! Ditch the looooooong locks and that thick fringe and take this pic to your hairdressers, stat. When it comes to dos old is new again. Go Faithfull and get layers, a choppy fringe and backcomb until your heart’s content. Tres jolie!   Julia Stegner shot by Guy Aroch

THE NEW FLUSH

Abbey Lee Kershaw shot by Sebastian Kim for Numéro #126 I’m absolutely adoring Abbey Lee’s makeup in this shot. Smokey, matte, and thanks to the lighting, very moody. My fave is the placement of that pretty pink blush – quite low on the cheek so she looks a little flushed. Very Marc Jacobs Fall 2011, don’t [...]

COLOUR GIRL

  Tousled hair, super fresh skin and black black black lashes. That’s my Russh girl. Here are some of the images from my shoot with photographer Rene Vaile for the latest issue of Russh magazine.     Click here for the rest of the story.

LINER NOTES

Barbara Palvin shot by Emma Tempest for Dansk A/W 2011   My gosh! Is anybody else inspired to get out that liquid liner and have a play? I would even do those eyebrows for a night out, would you? ps. A dress by Christopher Kane would also be amazing!
