I love this shot – her complexion, her eye makeup, her whimsical headpiece, but there’s one thing that ruins it for me, the ends of her hair. Shocking, totally shocking. Electrifying even. The girl needs treatment and she needs it quicksmart. My pick of them all… Redken’s Real Control Intense Renewal Super Moisturizing Mask. It intensely nourishes [...]
Sure there’s nothing quite like a La Prairie facial or an Hermes fragrance, but quite often it’s the little, everyday luxuries that really get me excited. I have a massive soft spot for gorgeous soaps, especially ones that come in divine packaging. Here are my two favourites, both from great Australian brands… The first is [...]
blue. Eniko Mihalik shot by Greg Kadel for Vogue Italia, May 2011.
Today is the last day of fashion week and I have to say that I’m quite relieved, I think it has been the busiest week of my life! I’ve been so lucky to see so many great shows – my favourites being Romance Was Born, Dion Lee and Karla Spetic – and to interview many brilliant [...]
It’s Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, which means my world right now is madness. Officially it started on Monday, however my first show was last Thursday night. I’ve been doing about six shows each day, and will be reporting on them for weeks to come. I’ve been lucky enough to interview all of the best hair [...]
Katrin Thormann shot by Horst Diekgerdes for Harper’s Bazaar UK May 2011 There is a miracle cream and it’s not new or exorbitantly priced, it’s sunscreen. I interviewed Dr Adam Geyer, Kiehl’s Consulting Dermatological Expert and owner of Tribeca Park Dermatology in NYC, last week for Vogue.com.au and one of his comments that stuck [...]
Hi all! I’m thrilled to share with you the newest feature of my blog, The Creatives Q&A. I’m going to be interviewing the best creative up-n-comers in Australia, including photographers, hairstylists, filmmakers, designers, stylists – anyone who contemplates beauty in their professional life.

Magdalena Frackowiak shot by Liz Collins for Numéro #122 I’ve done many a cat eye in my makeup career and the best tip I can give you for a precise, symmetrical and mess-free flick is… to lightly draw the shape that you want with a black eye pencil then when you’re happy and both eyes [...]
The arresting Rachel Rutt. If you’ve been following me on twitter you’ll know that I did the most exciting shoot on Friday. Shot by Bowen Arico, with clothing from Lands End and hair & makeup by moi, I think this is my most favourite shoot to date. Simply sensual. Check out the rest of the images over at [...]
Arizona Muse shot by Paolo Roversi for Vogue China April 2011. I recently went to the launch of Biotherm‘s newest range (more about that in June) and the theme of the day was ‘detox’. Everything was inspired by the concept of detox – the location, the healthy and delicious lunch, and I’m sure French champagne fits in there [...]
Not your regular femme fatale, but an enchantress nonetheless. Even though we’re fast approaching winter here, all I think about are maxi-skirts and maxi-dresses. Make the most of the sun but beware of its harsh rays. Protect the skin with my new favourite facial sunscreen, Kit Cosmetics Mineral Tinted Moisturiser with SPF15. Mineral, sheer [...]

I’m really looking forward to getting back into Liner Notes – I’ve been shooting quite a bit, have lots [...]
Since Peter Philips painted eyes gold at Proenza Schouler’s A/W 2011 show last week, I have gone copper crazy! Check out duo eyeshadows in Isolde, Méditerranée, and Balthazar by Nars for a chic, gilded look. Eniko Mihalik shot by Ben Hassett for US Harpers Bazaar, March 2011.
As you know, I don’t really do posts with celebrities, but firstly, Amanda Seyfried is gorgeous, and secondly, oh em gee her hair looks amazing! A very wise hair stylist once told me that if you want to style your hair well, you need to make the texture “like canvas, not silk”. Add product, make [...]
I am ready to turban now. Will you join me? We can make Miuccia Prada proud! Marta Canalda shot by Andrea D’Aquino for Quest #44
