Naomi for Vogue Russia

30 Mar 2010

We have all seen her latest cover, the April issue of Vogue Russia, but did you realise she was all over the magazine? It could easily be dedicated to her amazingness, she stars in every other editorial and as usual is absolutely flawless!

Here are my favourite shots from the various editorials, click through to see the complete spread.

Give me liberty

07 Jan 2010

I am extremely excited about one of the upcoming spring collections from MAC cosmetics. A collaboration with Liberty (a London department store which made my 10 things I like about London list a year ago), the cosmetic cases are not only pretty (in a very pretty but not overly girly way) the makeup bag and scarf in a custom floral Liberty print are definitely perfect spring accessories.

From MAC:

The very latest in a series of famous M·A·Coll aborations, it was only a matter of time before the demure-to-daring kaleidoscopic prints of Liberty of London coloured our world with Brit wit and bohemian chic. From the unstudied, Sienna Miller style of Spitalfields Market to the grit-and-glamour of Portobello Road, the swinging London girl has always been an unstoppable M·A·C makeup force! Spring 2010 insists on the ultimate flower fusion, with M·A·C joining forces with Liberty, creating cool Britannia compacts and Lipsticks, Eye Shadows, Powder, Blush, Nail Lacquers and, of course – blushing, bountiful, quite British accessories.

Holiday beauty

23 Dec 2009

Whilst browsing around at Refinery29 I came across a post that included five holiday makeup tricks. Although I personally won’t classify any of them as ‘tricks’, the looks featured are pretty easy to try out and adopt as your own signature holiday look, making it easier to hop around seasonal events and parties knowing you consistently look good.

Here are two of my favourites:

The skinny braids with bold red lip: Seen on Chanel Iman at Lacroix. There’s something really fun about mixing young playful braids with a really bold red, sophisticated lip…it’s a quirky play on contrasts that’s easy to pull off.

The smoky-lustrous lined eye: Sometimes black liner just isn’t enough. Hence, Anna Sui’s expert blended a shimmery gray shadow along with some eye-popping highlighter to a classic lined eye.
