Whats Inspiring Me Right Now...

Goldielocks' Shit Yo.....

So here's Goldie, shes 24, from the C.R of O; She makes beats, the odd rap and DJs...




...Make Up by Me...


This is her site...

Here is her Top 5 fave Make Up Product right now.....



Goldie says... "The YSL palette is great for travelling
or nights out as its small and compact. It can be used
all together as a great Bronzer or you can use the
seperate colours on their own. Plus it looks super
sexy in my bag!"

Goldie says... "Love the studio tech because its great
for on stage. Covers up my red face really well and so
quick to do."

Goldie says... "The dior lip maximiser is good because
the colour works with anything. It also feels nice and
refreshing on the lips and supposedly plumps them
(although I'm not too convinced by that bit!) You can
wear it alone on a bare face or with smoky black eyes
and it looks just as good either way!"

Goldie says... "I love the blackout mascara as it
hasn't got any crappy gimmicky brush just good old
shape and size that works well with my eyelashes.
The colour is a really black black and doesn't
seem to crumble off like some others."

Goldie says... "The fluidline has to be the best
eyeliner I've used ever (and I should know, its
been my daily staple since I was 14!) Its easy
to apply with the right brush and doesn't smear
or smudge for the whole day."

MAC Style Wars

I just discovered a video that I'm in on MAC Cosmetics' Youtube page, how funny!

This was a cool event. We had to do the make up for four models, we each got to design our own looks. The models were then teamed with a designer and given a load of old clothes, and 5 minutes to make something fabulous! It was so much fun! Here's the video...



Alone for the weekend...

So I'm all alone for the evening... well till Sunday really! Aaarrrggghhhh!

So I'm stuck with the large spider that seems to find his way back to the flat even if we chuck him out the window, or maybe he just has a very big family.... HELP!

So I'm off to indulge in a bit of Edward, I might actually get to finish it tonight, as he was seriously neglected over Fashion Week! Poor sod...

Just for my benefit, here's my fave picture of the gorgeous man himself...



A lil' Eddie fix....

Got to LOVE... to love Courtney... Kinderwhore mess of childlike meets slutlike, all based around Chrissy Amphlett of the Di Vinyls... Smokey out, slept in Kohl... deep and greasy... as messy as you like... Lips bright or nude, but definately smudged... De-vine...

London Fashion Week SS10, Must have products

London Fashion Week really is where all the magic happens.

This truly is the one Fashion Week that we all want to work at. And I was there this season.

From Jeremy Scott and his take on The Flintstones, Felder Felder and its Blondie Punk Rock edge, Killer Lips and Lashes with Andrew Gallimore at Yang Du and the moment of conception at Josh Goot! These were all the shows I worked on.

Life truly is good!




Josh Goot

Here's my make up above...



Josh Goots use of bright colours and monochromatic prints were a real inspiration. With Cartoon like themes and a great Tee with a "moment of conception" print.

The Make Up was created by Georgina Graham using M.A.C.
(That's my make up on the right)

Her inspiration was plasticised Cartoon-like skin meets the Surealists.

Key Products were:

Face and Body Foundation
Studio Moisture Fix
Face and Body Mixing Medium

All these textures were great for creating that real surealist skin.

Georgina also created the same look with a bold Orange lip on three girls, who came out right in the middle of the show. Truly awesome!

Georgina used Orange Lip Mix from M.A.C Pro



Jeremy Scott



Jeremy Scott certainly maintained his fun filled show with a Flintstones theme to his SS10 show in London. Tiger and Leopard print Togas in orange, pink, green and purple, held together with bones, even the shoes.

Models were made up of the likes of Pixie Geldof, Daisy Lowe, Eliza Cummings and Cole Mohr.

The Make Up was created by Pep Gay using M.A.C

Pep created a strong look with plenty of bright paint in either Red or Purple topped with glitter for an excessive, modern, stone age look!

(Pixies make up was done by myself.)

Key Products were:

Basic Red and Nocturnal Plum Paintsticks
Red and Purple Glitters
Smolder Eye Kohl
Select Moisture Cover Concealor


Felder Felder


Punk Rock, 1980's embellished throw-backs. Felder Felder rocked out in this awesome show. Lots of leather and studs.... Gorgeous.

Key Make Up Artist Georgina Graham created a look inspired by Debbie Harry from Blondie... need I explain the make up...

Key Products were:

Smolder Kohl Pencil
Carbon Eyeshadow
Mylar Eyeshadow
Oil Control Lotion
Studio Sculpt Foundation
Cork Lip Pencil


All M.A.C
