I would expect no less from Vogue Japan. Japanese makeup artists and products are known for being beautiful, delicate and precise. The gorgeous full lashes, bleached brows, modernised rococo hair and slightly bitten lip make for a divine, serene scene.

It’s couture time! Over three days of last week Paris held the couture shows where 10 labels offered to us their finest work. I have the hugest passion for dresses and the haute couture shows always blow me away with their romanticism and intricate beauty.

There were two absolute standouts for makeup from last week, Christian Dior and Givenchy. Designer at Dior, John Galliano, was inspired by early 20th century equestriennes. There were three makeup looks, all very old hollywood glamour with winged eyes and matte lips in nude, scarlet and crimson, and the most perfect porcelain skin. The look was modernised by the use of vibrant shades over the eyelid, similar to that of the Spring 2010 Dior show.

Givenchy’s designer on the other hand, Riccardo Tisci, dreamt up contemporary pieces for his ideal Parisienne with fine tailoring mixed with frivolity, and on occasion a touch of disco. A black shadowed eye with a hint of midnight-blue glitter gave us a retro effect however the fresh matte skin and statement lips kept it contemporary.

I’m sure this will be the first post of many on this man and his work… How awesome is this cover?!

Twin Peaks Rolling Stone Cover

Whoa.

It’s the October 4, 1990 issue of US Rolling Stone shot by Matthew Rolston. “The Women of Twin Peaks”. It’s so perfectly 90s; the brows, the lips, the voluminous hair and the body suits. Time to get out those large barrel curling tongs!
