Vintage on Southbank 2011


A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working with Laura and Lauren on their play 2011 project (photography by Lee Gentry) Styled by Kate Chennells from Dress me Vintage - website soon to be live. (www.dressmevintage.co.uk) These five models were dressed and styled to suit their individual eras (70's, 80's 50's,50's 60's in this photo) They paraded the Southbank with thier headphones and music suited to their look, and a spare pair for passers by who fancied a boogie.  It was a fun afternoon with lots of sun, and lots of shopping, definately worth a look again next year :)

Inspirational - Val Garland

I am always on the hunt for inspiration for my makeup, it can come from a multitude of places, online, museums, galleries, films, music, books and magazines. 


Sometimes even just keeping an eye out on my favourite Makeup Artists spurs me on to be like them.


Val Garland is one of my favourite makeup artists. You will be able to tell why after seeing some of her images.  The swarovski advertisement being one of my all time favourites.

A very talented missy, whom I think it is very obvious now why I idolise her so....... Although truth be told, she isn't the only makeup artist I idolise, there will be time for all to shine
