Lip Gloss A-Go-Go!

Friday, August 6th, 2010

So I thought I was bad when it comes to being a product junkie but my good friend and super star makeup artist friend Lynsey Alexander puts me to shame. New Topshop makeup, Linz has it. Ellis Faas range, already been there! So it was no surprise when we met for dinner on Upper street for her to fill me in on the new “Must have” lip product, Lip Tar. The name alone did it for me so of I went in search of this new wonder lip gloss.

So my appetite well and truly whetted for this mixable, vinyl shine uber gloss the next step was to find a stockist. You can get your fix of Lip Tar at these websites -

Street shoot with Victoria @ Models 1 and Fiona Garden

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

I was super excited to shoot with one of the first models I ever met at fashion week Victoria. She’s now styling and wanted to put this gorgeous street shoot together with Fiona Garden….. would I like to do the makeup … hell yes!!!!

I think Victoria has the most incredible face, cheekbones to die for and the fullest lips. It’s great to work with a girl who really understands her own look and how to work it and to top all that she’s a great stylist too! Here’s a few shots from the day, raw and unedited.

Anti summer

Sunday, August 1st, 2010

I’ve spent so much time in the  country side shooting lately and although I’ve had a great time soaking up the British summer showers and all I’m kind of looking forward to the Autumn/Winter season when everything gets a little darker. I came across this stunning shoot for Tatler Hong Kong and thought it was the perfect antidote to my whimsical way of thinking. The model is perfect for the shoot and I love the post apocalyptic other worldly feel of the story.
