So first day in Paris is over, its been a long day. Starting with catching the eurostar at 5.25 in the morning. Going straight to the Sharon Wauchob show assisting Gucci Westman. Which was great! So lovely to work on her team. Here is some pictures from the show.

Last show in Milan was Missoni assisting Lucia Peroni.

It was a smokey pencil look with a touch of shimmer and natural tan feeling on the skin.

Now back to London and then Paris!

Nice nail vanish!

MILAN MILAN MILAN..

Moschino Cheap and Chic

Did two shows yesterday and both was amazing! Really had a great day, until some shit-bag (sorry) decided to steal my mobile phone backstage at my last show. GRRRR.....

The day started with BLUMARINE, and team Charlotte Tilbury. The look was bronzy with smokey eyes and a nude lips. The second show was MOSCHINO CHEAP AND CHIC with team Val Garland. This look was more girly and like a dolly. It was a bright lip, round blusher and lots of mascara.

Blumarine

ANTONIO MARRES

After being very very delayed due to french flight strike I did eventually get to Milan really late last night. I got 4 hours off sleep and then I was off to my first show, which was Antonio Marres with Lisa Butler. The look was a squarish black eye. The collection looked really cute.

ANIMALS

What's with all the animal shaped make up?

I have mention cat lipstick from Paul and Joe before on the blog. This is eye shadows in shape of tigers from Chantecaille. Just read that when you buy this palette ( £ 73...) 5 % of the price will be donated to saving the Asian Tiger.

MARIO SCHWAB

Rock n Roll make up at the Mario Schwab show today. Worked on Petros Petrohilos team. There was a lot of Mac smolder eye pencil around the eyes and berry toned lips.

BACKSTAGE

Look what I found...me backstage on Roksanda. Hihhi

ROKSANDA ILINCIC

Today I did one show, Roksanda Ilincic with Lucia Pica. Guess who was there.....ANNA WINTOUR, amazing! Gorgeous make up! Strobe creme bas, extra highlighted cheekbones and purple tones on the eyes.

ACNE SS 2011

Last show yesterday was ACNE, they did a exclusive live streamed show at Kensington Palace.

I worked in Shinobu's make up team and the look was very natural.

I loved the clothes and the accessories especially the rings, so nice.

LOUISE AMSTRUP

Yesterday first show was with Lucia Pica and it was the Louise Amstrup show. Dr Hauschka sponsored it, so we only use their products. The feel for the look was like the models had been walking in the desert, so they were all sweaty/glossy. We use grey and purple pencils and then gloss on the eyelid. The skin was glossed up too. Hair was amazing so was the clothes!

THE GENTLE WOMAN

D took me to The Gentle woman magazine / A.P.C party on saturday. Great party! Cool cover on the magazine! Interesting read. Great goody bag, love the A.P.C candle. Thanks!

LONDON FASHION WEEK S/S 2011

So yesterday was my first day on London Fashion Week. I started the day with being a part of amazing Sally Branka's team, we did the Emilio de la Morena show. It was a really fresh faced and high lighted cheekbones, nose and upper lip. Prepared the skin with Aveda face oil, a product I never used before but that was amazing! Felt really silky. It was a great start of the day!

Second show was House of Holland with Lucia Pica, really enjoy working with her as well! Its my third season helping her and it is always great fun. The House of Holland was full on with lots of photographers snapping away backstage. The collection had a lot of 70's references and the make up was fresh faced with a blusher in the shape of a sun tan coming over nose and down the cheeks. Used the new eyebrow pencils from MAC to shape a perfect eyebrow. Amazing glitter nails by Sophy Robson.

All photos except first by ME.

LOVELY HAIR

GOOD STUFF!

Here is some I LOVE-products at the moment.

1) SISLEY EXPRESS FLOWER GEL, this is a fabulous face mask that is hydrating, toning and firming. Apply on clean skin and leave on for 3 minutes, blot to absorb any excess after 3 minutes. I tried this when my skin felt a bit tired and lifeless. Wouldn't really say its very hydrating, but that could be because my skin is quite dry. But my skin was glowing and more toned. Really like!

2) KMS CALIFORNIA SWEET BASIL LEAVE IN, I just LOVE this product. Smells nice, leaves my dry hair soft and really smooth to brush through. I just used this product on wet hair, but you can us it on dry hair too.

3) ESTEE LAUDER BRONZE GODDESS SELF-TAN, old favorite! Just like the smell ( really hate fake tan smells) this is just a subtle fragrant off coconut. Leave skin with a light sun touch colour and I never had any streaks from using this product. It kind of magic!
