These shots were taken by Agata Stoinska at DLight Studios on one of her model test days, she organises these shoots quite regularly and they are a fantastic opportunity for new faces to start building their book. The shoots are styled by top stylists (in this case Roxanne Parker of Social & Personal) and several looks are shot with different outfits and hair and makeup looks.   This new model is Ewa Rendzyniak and the hair and makeup is by Moi!!

I worked with Laura this summer and have been meaning to post some of her images ever since!! Laura is a very creative wedding photographer with a unique style and it is such a pleasure to have worked with her. Laura really is the ideal wedding photographer as she goes over her client's ideas with them prior to and on the day , she also keeps moving around the venue and ceremony making sure to capture those moments that you will cherish, your photos are the perfect mix of formal and informal. Let me know what you think!   Laura Faherty Photography

          Click this link to view video Your Story Begins Right Now\'   One of my beautiful 2011 Brides - Madeleine Fanagan, shared this video with me recently and I think it is fab! NOT least because I'm featured doing makeup but because it is so well edited. While a lot of people choose to have their ceremony and wedding day recorded in full... it is unusual to have a short clip with all the best bits together, all in time to an upbeat song. This is so easy to send by email/phone or to upload to Facebook. It really captures the energy of the day......

Anyone who knows me, knows I cannot live without my tweezers or my black liner on my top lid! I think this look is so versatile, in particular the flick seen at the Dolce and Gabbana Spring Summer 2012 shows is paired nicely with a very sheer foundation and a little highlighting and contouring on the cheek and a natural lip with a lick of lip balm. I'll post a step by step for this soon!

Ok so I got my hands on this and I'm hooked! I love the texture of Bobbi Brown shadows and this little palette is good value at €45.00 for 6 shadows.   For a really quick polished  and glamourous look just smooth some Champagne Quartz onto your lids near the lashes (use your ring finger, by not using a brush you ensure you don't end up with shimmer all over your face and it seems to even out the metallic effect of this shadow) make sure to place it no further than the lowest part of your brow bone. Now use an angled liner brush and gently smudge some of the Black Chocolate Shadow...

I just HAD to post this editorial from Russian Vogue by Ulyana Sergeenko. These images are so beautiful... there is a full on vintage 1940's vibe which we have seen alot of ... but the muted tones and varied textures of the fabrics combined with a pop of colour and structural shoes/accessories mean the silhouettes are really modern, even though the model is wearing victory rolls in her hair! This is World War 2 and Fairytale feminine all at the same time. Fabulous! The makeup is of course very pretty too... flawless foundation, slightly highlighted cheekbones and an orangey red lip.What do you think??...
