Simple Summer Makeup!

Yay summer's just around the corner.......well for us Australians it is!

The look was a request and one that I loved doing. Summer makeup should be kept simple and really shouldn't take long to do. Tinted moisturiser is an ideal base for the summer season as it is light in texture, often build-able and allows you to bronze up nicely.

Also when considering your summer makeup it is essentil that you use a sunscreen!!

Alexa Chung Inspired Makeup!

This Alexa Chung requested inspired tutorial is simple and very easy to achieve. When researching her look, Alexa's everyday makeup is pretty much identical, her thin long liner and half way liner/shadow on the bottom lash line is evident in almost all her photos. I love her style and look - "preppy meets grandma"! So cute x

Easy Quick Makeup!!

This makeup is sooooo easy and took me less then 10 minutes to do. Its perfect for work and if you use the right products the only thing you'll need to touch up is your lipgloss/lipstick! I appreciate not everyone has every brush under the sun as some (hem,hem, me!) so Ive used minimal brushes for this look.

Cat Eye Makeup - Kim K, JLo, Rihanna Inspired!

One of my most requested makeup looks from clients is a cat eye makeup. Not sure what this means?? Think Cleopatra, think Egyptian era, think Middle Eastern, cat eye inspired to elongate the eye and lift them up at the corners.

This looks is often worn by the likes of Kim Kardashian, JLo, Rihanna and Beyonce as it is so flattering and really makes your eyes stand out.

My preference is the leave the lips quite neutral and add a little pink to the cheeks or a nice bronzer depending on your skin tone.

Hope you enjoy x

How to curl your hair!

I've lived many many many years with the curse.........completely dead straight hair that is!

All my life I have done everything and anything to curl it and keep it curled. I have since discovered both a tool and some products that have finally enabled me to add some sort of texture to it!!

Give it a go.......x

Kourtney Kardashian Inspired Makeup

The requested look from Olivia, was screen shot from a Channel E episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashian's. Despite the critics, you cant deny how clever they are to create a brand empire and take every opportunity to further the families name.......although many questionable!


Kourtney Kardashian is the eldest of the Kardashian children and has her own look and style. Her makeup, like all the Kardashian ladies is immaculate thanks to her gorgeous makeup artist Joyce Bonelli.


Anyway, for this look I used beautiful earthy copper tones suitable for most eye shades. These colours particularly look good on green and blue eyes - watch them pop! I tried to limit the amount of products for you but still created the desired look.
