Emma Watson is the ‘It’ girl of the moment so I was thrilled to be able to shoot with her just before the London premier of the latest installment of Harry Potter. I’m a big fan of her new look, her hair frames her features perfectly and she has such a great face for makeup.

I kept her skin almost bare using the sheerest veil of Lancome’s Teint Miracle foundation which is my new kit must have. I used washes of toasted brown creams around her eyes for a natural shadow and finished with lots of black mascara. I’m loving Maybelline’s ‘The Falsies’ for jet black lashes and a brush that gets right down to the roots and builds without clumping.

I worked with the gorgeous and totally charming Crystal Renn for the Cosmo women of the year awards this week.

I’ve been a fan of Crystal for a long time, it was only in last months French Vouge that I was poring over her latest shoot with Terry Richardson so I was thrilled to be working with her.

Look wise, what else would do but a blood red lip! I used MAC’s Lipmix in Crimson for a classic colour that stays for hours.

I spent a sunny Sunday on the North East coast with my photographer friend Kayti Peshke shooting Olga @ Profile models.

Kayti is a bit of a location vulture and found this beautiful stretch of coast line with the most amazing bleached rock. With the sun blasting of the stark surroundings Olga was taken to a beautifully baron place…almost other wordly, hence the title Alienaton.

Kirstie Noble style the story with pieces from London new gen designers. I loved the piece by Falguni and Shane Peacock which helped inspire my monochramatic makeup.

I used my trusty MAC palette of Chromacake body paint to get the bold black and white eye makeup and blanked out the brow using soap to flatten then a full coverage concealer to take away the brow tone. I wanted all of the attention on the eye not the brows.
