Backstage at Milan Fashion Week with Sam McKnight (Global Ambassador for Pantene Pro-V)

The Look: "Glamping" - Glamorous Camping
The S/S ’10 DSquared2 collection was inspired by ‘grunge goes glam’. For this look think camping with ball gowns and tents with chandeliers.
For the hair, Sam McKnight captured this ‘grunge goes glam’ inspiration by creating a hair look that screamed ‘Day 3 at Glastonbury*’ - with not so neat, random braids. Keeping it loose and individual, the models wore sometimes one, sometimes two and sometimes three braids of varying thickness, texture and positioning on the head.



Get the Look:
Firstly work mousse through the lengths of the hair to add texture and hold - ensuring the braids don’t slip out. Then randomly divide hair into one, two or even three uneven sections. Plait each section into braids of varying thicknesses.

The key to the look is keeping the braid loose. To achieve this start braiding the section of hair part way down the hair length and secure at the ends with a clear ponytail band. Then to finish the look, run your fingers from the end of the braid upwards to create this loose, dishevelled appearance. To add further texture, work the braid between the fingers.



“To ensure this look is ‘grunge goes glam’ rather than plain ‘grunge’ make sure hair is in the best condition possible before and after styling. Use a shampoo and conditioning regime that will protect hair against mechanical damage caused by this kind of styling” Sam McKnight.

Am I Wearing False Lashes - New L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara!!!

Here is the latest innovation from L'Oreal, the new Telescopic Explosion Mascara, not only does the innovation lie with the brush style but it is a new formula that is based on water & polymers as well as D-Pantenol which coat the mascara with an extra thick layer of mascara keeping the lashes stronger & more flexible. The ingredients add volume as well as shape to the lashes & the small globe brush makes it super easy to coat every lash right into the inner corners so even the hardest to reach lashes have an even coat from root to tip with no lumps which leaves an impressive panoramic effect. Anyway it's a firm favourite for me, even my husband noticed the difference after applying it for the first time, commenting on my false lashes...!!!! Of course I wasn't wearing any, so an impressive illusion!
Available Nationwide - £8.80.

Brand New - Cloud Nine Styling Irons!

Well we all thought we could never live with out our ghd's but now there's a new rival in the market that is set to be a best seller, the new hair styling iron brand Cloud Nine, which has just launched.

Developed by the original founders and manufacturers behind ghd, Cloud Nine is a totally new and separate brand that combines state of the art technology with temperature control, allowing you to create loose waves, soft curls, poker straight for those that still wish and even smooth a blow dry without losing volume.
Now that you can select a temperature that suits your individual hair type and without the searing heat of competitor irons, damage is reduced and the ceramic plates are also coated with a 'magic' ingredient that leaves your hair looking shiny and healthy, what more could a girl possibly ask for!!!
Also James Brown used Cloud Nines at London Fashion Week just last Saturday and was very impressed, and they're making their mark in the professional hair trade already.
Imagine… a hair styling iron that allows you to achieve breathtaking results - without constant, searing heat!!!!
From natural and smooth, to experimental and bold, you can now get the hair you want, everyday, no matter what its type, your challenges or your hair-aspirations.
With its low, medium and high heat options, six in total, and a perfectly constructed, rounded barrel, Cloud Nine is one tool that enables you to achieve a whole range of finishes. You can create natural curls and waves, or even simply smooth a blow dry, as well as crank up the heat when you do need to achieve something more structured or adventurous.
The varied heat settings also mean you can adjust the temperature to suit your hair type. Finer hair may not require white-hot temperatures to smooth out a kink, while thicker hair can benefit from a variety of heat settings as you style layer-by-layer.
Poker straight hair delivered through searing heat, and the same look day-in, day-out, is over.


With Cloud Nine, you can, at last, go a bit easier on your hair, while discovering a whole world of flexibility. Curly, wavy, straight or voluminous - you choose.
Look closely at the iron’s black ceramic plates, and you will see they contain an element of pearl sparkle. This patented technological element actually adds extra shine to your hair.
The iron also features a hibernation mode. So if you don’t pick up your irons for ten minutes, it automatically switches off, and will only re-heat when you switch it on again.

Cloud Nine is set to take you and your hair to new heights from October ’09. The professional styling brand is now available from the finest salons nationwide, priced at £129.99. Cloud Nine is also available to buy at www.cloudninehair.com from the end of October.

Backstage at London Fashion Week with Barbara Daly Make-Up & Amanda Wakeley!

EyeCandy have been prive to some great backstage insight into this season's London Fashion Week, check out some of the latest looks sported on the runway this week!
Barbara Daly make-up was delighted to collaborate with renowned women’s wear designer, Amanda Wakeley, at London Fashion Week 2009 at her show on Tuesday 22nd September 2009.
Leading make-up artist Sharon Dowsett used Barbara Daly make-up to create a beautifully dramatic look that took inspiration from an Indian Summer (a nod to the numerous spicy tones and luxurious silky drapery used in Amanda’s palette); a neutral dewy base set off striking smoky eyes and defined eyebrows which was paired with a warm nude lip and cool nude nails.
Sharon Dowsett commented:
“I am delighted to be collaborating with Barbara Daly make-up – the products are fantastic, particularly Face Lift, the Eye Pencils and High Impact Mascara, they have helped me to create a beautiful look for today’s show.”



The Look – How it was Created:

The Base -

Sharon Dowsett started the look with a slick of Face Lift to give the model’s skin a beautifully luminous, dewy appearance (the use of this product was a personal tip off from Amanda Wakeley herself), she then progressed to prep the skin with Moisture Foundation and Concealer (depending on the coverage needed for the individual model). Cheek-to-cheek Bronzer was then used to highlight the cheek bone and shade underneath (using the two shades in the bronzer). Once the base was finished with a sweep of the Super Sheer Loose Powder, Sharon and her eight strong team started on the smoky eye.

The Eye -

Eye Pencil in Dark Brown was used to contour the eye around the upper and lower lashes and out into the inner and outer corner of the eye, Eye Shadow in Smoke and the Designer Eyes Trio in Graphite was then used to shade the eye socket with a clear space left between the socket and the brow. The eye was finished off with two coats of High Impact Mascara in black (which the models loved and begged the make-up team to let them keep). Strong brows were created using the Eye Brow Pencil in Fair or Dark (depending on the model’s colouring) and finished with a slick of Smudge-Proof Mascara in Brown (the moussy texture was perfect for this purpose).

The Lip -

Nude lips were created with the Lip Pencil in Fig contouring the lip followed by Lipstick in Naturelle filling in the rest of the lip.

The Nails -

Nail technician Liza Smith and team used a cocktail of Barbara Daly make-up nail colours (a mix of Whimsy – a stone colour, Sweetie – a pinky neutral, Tattoo – a deep navy blue and Clear Top Coat) to create a bespoke cool neutral to paint the model’s finger and toe nails that perfectly complemented the make-up and Amanda’s collection.

The Barbara Daly make-up products used to create the look are as follows:

Base:

Face Life Moisturiser (used as foundation on most models to create dewy skin)
Moisture Foundation
Cheek-to-Cheek Bronzer

Smoky Eye:

Eye Shadow – Smoke
Designer Eyes Trio – Graphite
Eye Pencil – Dark Brown and Black
Eye Define – Brown
Light Effect Concealer Pen
High Impact Mascara – Black

Strong Eyebrows:

Smudge-proof Mascara – Brown (Sharon recommends that the moussey texture makes it great for eyebrows)
Eye Brow Pencil – Light and dark

Nude Lips:

Lip Pencil – Fig
Lipstick – Naturelle

Nude Nails:

Nail Colour (a cocktail of Whimsy, Sweetie, Tattoo and Clear Top Coat)

Backstage at London Fashion Week with Sam McKnight, Global Ambassador for Pantene Pro-V, Creating the Hair Look for Graeme Black S/S ‘10

The Look: Indian Princess ‘Pin Up’
The S/S ’10 Graeme Black collection was influenced by India & the Raj. So when creating the hair look for the show Sam McKnight took inspiration from a mythical Indian Lady in the 1930s – elegant and graceful.
The hair was swept back from the face giving it a clean look at the front, which contrasted beautifully with the slightly less groomed ‘Indian Pin-Up’ at the back of the head. This high bun formed from a ponytail that wound round on itself presented the perfect elegant silhouette. The overall effect was extremely feminine and sensual giving an illusion of groomed perfection.

Get the Look:
Work mousse through the hair from root to tip and dry roughly. Set into large, loose waves using a large barrel curling tongs. Next brush the hair into a clean ponytail high on the crown of the head. Smooth down the hair from the hairline to the ponytail band by brushing over. Then backcomb sections of ponytail close to the base of each section to add volume. Brush over the ponytail to lightly smooth then loop up the ends and pin to secure into a volumised, loose bun. To create Sam's signature 'done, undone' effect, leave some stray tendrils loose. Then add a spritz of hairspray to hold the look.
“The key to the look I created for the Graeme Black show is having hair that is shiny and manageable to give the appearance of elegance whilst still looking undone. But styling can take its toll on hair – so if you want to make the most of this look you need to shampoo and condition your hair from root to tip every to help combat styling damage.” Sam McKnight, Global Ambassador for Pantene Pro-V

VIVIENNE WESTWOOD LEAP FROGS INTO LONDON FASHION WEEK!!

Fashion industry icon and enthusiastic environmentalist Dame Vivienne Westwood launches her Red Label Spring/ Summer collection at London Fashion Week this Sunday, September 20th with a special kind of green show…



In support of The Prince’s Rainforests Project, Dame Westwood is dedicating her show and models to the humble frog, the symbol of rainforests and ambassador for the rainforests project. Vivienne has also designed a frog that has been created and decorated by her studio. The fibre-glass frog model features a design of hand-prints to demonstrate that we all have a role to play to helping tackle climate change so we all need to roll our sleeves up and get our hands dirty! This frog model, which stands at 70cm tall, will appear in her Red Label catwalk show on Sunday, with her models also wearing frog accessories incorporated in her designs.

Dame Westwood is an out-spoken advocate of The Prince’s Rainforests Project and will be asking that all guests to Sundays show add their voice in support of rainforest protection. Vivienne is supporting the PRP in asking everyone to give their name, to show the world leaders gathering in Copenhagen for crucial climate change talks this December, that they must take action and that there is a public will for them to do so. Getting involved with the campaign is easy - simply visit www.rainforestSOS.org and sign up, or text SOS and your full name to 60777*.

The Prince’s Rainforests Project (PRP) was established in October 2007 by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales to develop consensus as to how the rate of rainforest destruction might be slowed. Rainforests regulate rainfall, preserve biodiversity and, most importantly, store vast amounts of carbon. Tropical deforestation is a major cause of greenhouse gas emissions and the burning of the rainforests produces more carbon emissions per year than the entire global transport sector. Without tackling this problem it will be impossible to avoid catastrophic climate change.

Check out some images of the show below -

Sex And The City Sequel Underway!!

Sex And The City is back with a bang, the new sequel began shooting yesterday in New York & the buzz is only just beginning on what Carrie & her girl's have been up to since May 2008! Due out in May 2010 we'll have 2 years of gossip, conquests & fashion trends to catch up on, also a few past fashion faux pas from the 80's by the looks of it.....!!!
Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted being made up into almost what looks like a Barbara Streisand lookalike contestant to shoot a flash back from her arrival in New York as a young twenty something (proving that we all get better with age!).

Rumours have been been flying that the star has recently had cosmetic surgery to remove her famous mole, so the make-up artists on set were reapplying it for continuity along with her 80's throwback make-up style!
The full ensemble included white skinny jeans, an off the shoulder jumper, converse trainers & to complete the over all look a tight perm that any rock ballad goddess would be envious of!



There were another two costume changes (slightly more up to date this time!), firstly in a white Halston dress with Louboutins (of course!) as well as a Chanel clutch bag, then later on pretty in purple with Christian Louboutin Gino T-strappies.



Keep your eyes peeled more more scene snaps as the famous four get to work in the big apple!!
