Flawless Wedding foundation

My Wedding is coming around fast – this Saturday I’ll be walking down the aisle but the morning before I’ll be doing my own makeup. Here are my tips for flawless looking foundation for any special occasion where you want to look your best.

Have more than one foundation – skin changes with the seasons, so that foundation you bought 3 months ago may well be the wrong shade now. Have the same foundation in a darker tone and you can mix them to create the perfect hue.

Buff you powder – Create the perfect cashmere finish by buffing off excess setting powder once you’ve finished applying it. It’ll keep your makeup in place but won’t look to heavy.

Don’t rub – To get a smooth finish, don’t rub in foundation. Instead, pat it onto the skin for an even polish.


Lego Lippy

Chanel usually conjures up images of pearls, twinsets and luxury, but never lego. Till now that is. Brothers Dee and Ricky are famous for their Lego jewellery and the designers have now come up with Chanel-inspired lipstick brooches.

Only 50 brooches were made, though they were without the permission of Chanel. Will you be buying one before they get snapped up?

Quick Fixes

Want a fast route to looking gorgeous and glam? Here are some easy tips and tricks to up the ante on your look.

  • Looking leggy-  Just swipe some highlighter in a vertical line down the center of your legs. It’s a sneaky way to visually lengthen the lkegs and also works to streamline arms.
  • Bright eyes – When your eyes look tired out and bleary, line them with a pencil in a shade slightly lighter than your natural skin tone. It will lighten and brighten the entire eye area.
  • Full pout -  add a dot of highlight to the cupids bow to make the lips look plumper. A bit of gloss in the center of your lips will maximize the effect.

Kim Talks Makeup

Socialite and reality start Kim Kardashian is never seen without makeup and in an interview with Allure magazine she even went as far to say “Makeup is my life”.

She also talks about how when she was just 14, her father enrolled her in beauty school “to learn how to apply makeup properly, so I wouldn’t have too much on or look crazy.”

Granted, she’s talking in a beauty magazine, but do you think this is a responsible way for a role model to young teenage girls to talk? Is it right for her to talk about a full face of makeup as an essential part of everyday life?


Secret Botox

In the UK, Botox is seldom discussed. Transform, the largest plastic surgery group in Britain, has reported that 72 percent of women and 81 percent of men don’t tell friends and family when they get Botox or filler In addition, a record numbers of patients are staggering their procedures so that changes to their faces and bodies are gradual and therefore subtle and less likely to be noticed.

Despite the fact that these procedures are such common practice now, it’s incredible that there’s such a great amount of shame surrounding them. Would you tell all or stay mum about Botox?

Hefty Fine

Do you think that how heavy you are should determine how much you pay for a salon service? A salon outside of Atlanta, USA, has been accused of doing just that.

Customers weighing over 200 pounds were being charged $5 extra for manicures and other nail services. According to the salon this is because larger people may damage their expensive chairs.

If the chairs aren’t strong enough for their customers then that’s more of a legal issue than a chance to charge more money to repair them.  To me this is  a massive discrimination, but what do you think?


Pretty Reckless

Actress, model and lead singer of the band The Pretty Reckless, Taylor Momsen turned up in London with this bold and dark makeup look recently. There’s a lot of makeup going on here and it accentuates Taylor’s grungey new look and rock chick style, but do you think it is too much?
