PERFECT SKIN

  Sigrid Agren by Aitken Jolly for Dansk A/W 2011 For me, this is perfect skin. Fresh, slightly dewy, not packed with makeup and none of this photoshop business - just real, pores and all. I’m the biggest advocate in letting your skin breathe, and you know what, it’s not going anywhere so it’s super important to embrace [...]

THE BEST THING…

…since Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation is British department store Selfridge’s beauty advent calendar. OH MY GOSH. A new product every day – what a genius idea! This is last year’s….  and here Brit blogger Disney Roller Girl shows us what’s inside this year’s. Come on David Jones, it’s time to pick up your act!

PLAITS IT!

Aline Weber shot by Camilla Akrans for Vogue Japan August 2011 I chopped off my long mermaid locks last week and I already miss doing this to my hair. If you have lovely long locks, please Heidi-it on up for me. Cheers! Say hello to my new cut.

FISHTAIL BRAID

  Image by Daniel Gurton for Vs. Magazine I love love love this relaxed fishtail braid, it’s by far my favourite hairstyle of the moment. Best done on dirty, piece-y hair, head to youtube for a tutorial and make sure to use a clear elastic for a chic finish. Flowers optional.

HIRSCHY H @ PRISCILLAS

  A test I did recently with Bowen, Paloma and James. What do you think? On Hirschy’s eyes I’ve worked the dark green and grey from Chanel’s limited edition Les 4 Ombres in Lilium heavily into the socket and brows, and have contoured under her cheekbones with Nars’ The Multiple in Portofino. I hope you [...]

THE BEST BODY LOTIONS

  Sasha Pivovarova shot by Hedi Slimane for Vogue Japan August 2011   For luxe photo shoot legs, there are three lotions I’ve seen on set for as long as I can remember (and I’ve been going on shoots for about ten years now!). In any makeup artist’s kit you’ll see at least one of the [...]

SONG FOR THE MUTE 2012 S/S

    Remember these gorgeous shots? Well Lyna and Melvin from Song For The Mute have just finished their follow-up collection and (even though I’m totally biased) I have to say it’s as great as the last! We shot Jordan Coulter of DSquared2 fame in a spectacular location near Newcastle and I just can’t get enough [...]

VOGUE HAIR HOW-TO #2

Kelsey/Priscillas shot by Bowen Arico for Vogue.com.au   My second hair tutorial for Vogue online featuring the gorgeous Kelsey Martinovich. Look familiar? Yep, she was one of the winners from last season’s Australia’s Next Top Model. We had a great arvo playing with makeup from Mecca Cosmetica and learning how-to do this runway-worthy topknot. Check [...]

FLUFFY CHIC?

  Lara Stone shot by Alasdair McLellan for Self Service S/S 2011.   I think only two people in this world could pull off this do – Lara Stone and Chloe Sevigney. I really love it though, it’s just super cute and fluffy! ps. How great is Lara with dark brows??!

SUMMER LOVIN’

  I know I’ve posted about this body lotion before but I have to tell you how much it’s saving my life right now. Basically, it’s cold, miserable, and I have long steamy hot showers even though I shouldn’t so my skin is super dry. Also, I’ve been craving summer and am doing my best [...]

PERIDOT

Monsieur Philips, you’ve done it again! I cannot wait for this colour to come out – it’s a little Proenza, a little Rodarte and a whole lotta Klimt.  

VOGUE HAIR HOW-TO

Courtney/Priscillas shot by Bowen Arico for Vogue.com.au If you’ve looked on Vogue.com.au lately you will have seen some changes in the beauty department. Firstly, we’re doing a Beauty Icons section, starting off with Miss Jerry Hall. One of my all-time favourites, she’s absolutely stunning and I reckon she would be a pretty fun mum. Just [...]

SUPER by Dr Nicholas Perricone

The newest addition to my bathroom benchtop. SUPER by Dr Nicholas Perricone First Blush Brightening Serum from Kit Cosmetics. The Melon extract protect cells, Vitamin C reduces discolouration (yes!) and Ferulic Acid minimises redness. Pretty good hey? Also, it’s free of parabens, silicones, mineral oils, dyes, and more. Gotta love this brightening business!

After solid testing, Sodashi’s Eye Mask makes ageing around the eye area not so daunting after all. Filled with macadamia oil, apricot kernel oil, sweet almond oil along with [...]
