Top Eyeliner Tip!

For striking glamorous Saturday night eyes, here's a little tip I picked up for defining your top lash line to give extra depth to make you eyes really stand out!
First of all take a flat defining brush, try Mac's 212 Flat Definer (£15), then take your black eyeshadow or another dark colour for defining & wet your brush, then add the shadow. Apply to the under part of your lash line, to do this look upwards & the part of the lash line that sits under your lashes is the area you want to aply the colour. Just take it in small blocks from the inside to the lashes & apply three quarters away along from the outer edge of the eye. This will give more defintion to your lashes as well as the shape of your eye. Once this is applied, define above the lashes on the top lashline with a dry brush to create a smokey finish or pencil/liquid, what ever you prefer, defining the under part of you top lashes will always enhance your normal eyeliner. The perfect start to smouldering eyes!!

Get That Perfect Glowing Summer Complexion!

Get sun-kissed & summer-glow gorgeous this summer with these few simple make-up tips! Make-up for the summer should be natural & minimal giving the effect of a healthy bronzed complexion, keeping it on a minimal scale also makes this perfect for even the fairest of skin tones as well, so everybody can have glowing summer skin that even girl of the week, Jennifer Aniston would be envious of!
First step is to use a tinted moisturiser, normal liquid foundation is too heavy for this as a very sheer coverage is required to keep it natural, go for a shade darker than you would normally opt for in a foundation, as you can go a little darker with such a light coverage, apply a very light amount all over the face & blend well with a make-up sponge, make sure you blend throughly around the jaw line & lightly down on to the neck. If you have any blemishes apply a little concealer over the top of your tinted moisturiser (making sure the colour matches), again blend well & use a concealer brush for a perfect finish.
Next take a golden skin highlighter liquid & blend over the top of your cheek bones where the sun would normally catch, then use a bronzer & brush over the cheek bones as well as the forehead area & blend throughly along the jawline too. When choosing a bronzer it is best to go with a shimmer brick that has a combination of bronzes, golds & warm pinks as it will give a more natural colour, remember we want 'golden' not 'burnt orange'!
For the eyes just go with a light golden wash of colour, choose a loose powder in light gold or a warm nude for a natural look & blend over the lid & into the socket line then take a light golden highlighter just under the brow bone, finish them off with your favourite mascara.
For the lips stay with a gloss, opt for a tinted lip-balm to keep them soft & keep the colour to either a light beige or gold. As a finishing touch take some bronzer over your collar bone & chest area for some added bronze sparkle!
To keep everything in place & hold your natural summer look use some finishing spray. We want to keep everything dewy and finishing powder is too heavy & matte, so go for Skindinavia's Make-Up Finishing Spray. It keeps the makeup hydrated & holds it firmly in place all day long!!

Jennifer Aniston Launches New Fragrance At Harrods

Jennifer Aniston's appearance at Harrods today was widely anticipated as she launched her first fragrance at the department store earlier this afternoon. She looked stunning in a nude-tone figure hugging dress showing off her ever-perfect golden tan & her glowing skin was looking that of a young woman in her twenties (just how does she do it!!!???)
For the fragrance marketing campaign Jennifer posed provocatively, but as always tastefully, showing just enough of her perfectly toned figure to seduce us all into lusting after the new scent! Which I'm sure will work as the fragrance is set to be a huge success this year! The fragrance was originally said to be called 'Lolavie' but the makers were concerned the name could possibly create too much scrutiny on it's meaning so at the 11th hour is was changed to simply 'Jennifer Aniston - The Debut Fragrance'.
Greeting her fans that turned up to the launch Jennifer explained ''Now I am not a big perfume-y fragrance fan. With my fragrance I want people to go, ‘What is that? You smell great!’ But most of all I wanted it to smell natural.' She also spoke about some of the fragrance inspiration she grew up with 'The first perfumes I ever wore were Miss Dior and Anais Anais. 'My mother wore Calèche and my grandmother used a body splash that came in a big yellow jug that she kept by the bathtub. Those were very strong scents.'
Aniston also recalled the first perfumes she smelled growing up, adding: 'The first perfumes I ever wore were Miss Dior and Anais Anais.
'My mother wore Calèche and my grandmother used a body splash that came in a big yellow jug that she kept by the bathtub. Those were very strong scents.

Choosing The Perfect Fragrance For Your Big Day!

Another very important accessory that shouldn't be over looked on your big day is your choice of perfume, our sense of smell is one of our strongest senses especially when it comes to reminding us of happy memories! The one you choose will always remind you of your wedding day & can be saved for special occasions, I wore Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel & the second I catch a scent of it I instantly think of my wedding..
Fragrance is of course a very personal thing & you want it to reflect your personality, top fragrance experts advise that when shopping for your perfume don't try more than 3 or 4 on any one shopping trip as you can over load your senses! Also leave the scent on for an hour as well before you finally decide as many need time to 'settle' on your skin to develop their full aroma! To keep the scent lasting longer buy the body lotion as well & apply it after your bath/shower in the morning to intensify the fragrance, also it'll keep your skin perfectly soft in your expensive couture! Needless to say one of the top selling fragrances for blushing brides is Vera Wang which is a classic by the first lady of wedding style!

Smile to Success & Top Celebrity Make-Up Tips!

Collecting her trophy at this year’s Glamour Awards the nation’s favourite singer and XFactor judge, Cheryl Cole thanked her orthodontist, crediting him for her knock out smile and the role its played in her climb to the top of the charts.
New research released today by the makers of INVISALIGN®* reveals that 69% of Brits agree a quality smile is key to success in your working life. The following high-flying women also have a lot to thank their great smiles and dentists for.

Make-up artist and beauty coach to the stars Lina Cameron has worked with many of the women above and shares her insider tips on how to achieve the perfect smile to help propel you to that next high point in your career.
“Your smile is an introduction to your personality and having straight white teeth is critical to having the confidence to smile broadly. I recommend the Invisalign treatment to any of my clients who are conscious of their teeth. It is a virtually invisible straightening treatment which is perfect for my clients who won’t consider traditional fixed brace techniques which only draw attention to the problem in the first place.With a dazzling smile your makeup possibilities become endless!”

Get Scarlett’s luscious Lips
I love working on Scarlett as she simply has the best modern face for make-up - she can carry any look with glamour and ease! The look is very old school glamour with a splash of innocence especially when sporting a swept up hairstyle. A bee stung pout really helps but if you are not blessed with such full lips, try out a lip plumping product then really lather the gloss on top as you want lots of shine, pick a pink or red for a look just like Scarlett’s.

Perfect your smile
I often see some of my celebrity clients taking drastic measures to get the perfect smile but my motto is to work with what you have. Veneers for example can be a very painful and evasive procedure. In some cases they can give a real horsey appearance and everyone ends up looking the same. To enhance your smile I recommend a virtually invisible straightening techniques such as Invisalign, to deliver a red carpet worthy smile without anyone knowing your undergoing treatment. The aligners do not affect your lifestyle and are also completely removable, allowing you to take them out for special occasions.

Copy Jennifer’s effortless look
Jen is the archetypal Californian girl and looks fabulous with a sun kissed and relaxed make-up look. She knows her style and works it beautifully for all occasions. Think earth tones for the eyes, lots of brown liner, neat brows and beiges with a touch of shimmer to catch the light beautifully. Make sure you use a specific face self tan and make sure you self tan for body is golden not orange otherwise you will fail the look. Her smile is picture perfect and a great example of how investing in your teeth can set off your whole face.

Mask stains

My top tip for discoloured teeth is to use a nude lipstick or gloss, it’s always a safe bet as it neutralises the mouth and smile unlike yellow based pigments found in many pink lipsticks. If the stains are very noticeable I will also dramatically define the eyes to draw attention away from the mouth and contour the cheeks so people will be directed to the top half of the face.

Invisalign Background

Invisalign is a clinically recognised, virtually invisible orthodontic treatment that can straighten teeth in both adults and teens, and doesn’t involve painful surgery or the embarrassment and inconvenience of traditional fixed braces.

Whether you need minor improvements or more extensive adjustments, the series of clear, custom-made and removable aligners can successfully straighten your teeth by applying doctor-prescribed pressure on different teeth at different times.

Each aligner in the series is manufactured specifically for your teeth, and as you replace each aligner, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position prescribed by your dental practitioner. With no metal wires or brackets, there’s no need to worry about mouth irritations, as the aligners are comfortable to wear and can be easily removed for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing as normal – giving you the flexibility to easily live an active lifestyle.

Unlike other dental straightening techniques, Invisalign uses unique computer software which generates a start-to-finish virtual 3D treatment plan to complement professional judgment. This technology demonstrates the series of movements the teeth are expected to go through to get from their current position to the desired final position. This allows you to view your own virtual plan and see how straight your smile should look once the treatment has been completed.
