Beauty: Rainbow Bright
For Summer, colour was used on the catwalk in a big way. Brown skins can carry off a plethora of shades, so be inspired by these ladies and try a daring new colour. Make it the eye or the lip; there’s a fine line between catwalk cool and Ronald MacDonald.

Free Advice from the Girls at M.A.C
We love M.A.C so were more than happy to receive this free advice!
Colour is big this season and we’re all for trying new looks so were quite pleased to get these beauty tips on how to incorporate it into our make up regime from the Senior Artists at M.A.C:
"Use any of the Pro Longwear Lipcremes combined with a bright Eye Liner or Eye Shadow. Spring is fun and playful so I always want a little fun in my makeup!" - Amber D
"Use Strobe Cream to put some lustre back into the skin after winter." - Lynsey A
For those of you attending festivals this season, Terry Barber - Director of Make-up Artistry says: "Your favourite festival 'survival kit' should be tailor made with all the iconic 'quick-fix' products you need to keep groomed whatever the conditions! It's not about wearing full on glamour - it should be much less try hard. Clean, dewy skin, sixties mod girl lashes, a combed up brow and plump stained lips. Light on the coverage and heavy on the cool!"

'Done' lashes are back this season. Apply some major layers to top and bottom lashes with the amazing M.A.C Studio Fix Lash Mascara. Finish the look by staining the lip with a lush layer of M.A.C Tinted Lip Conditioner. It's the return of the flower child!"

Joining the likes of Kate Moss and Georgia Jagger, Solange will represent Rimmel London makeup looks in US campaigns which debuts in Autumn.

Chrishell Stubbs for Topshop
We readily admit that Topshop is not the first place we think of heading to if we need make up. Jeans or a top for a night out then sure, we get on the tube to Oxford St, but to be honest, we’ve never even looked at the make up when we were in store. So we were quite surprised to see Chrishell Stubbs in their Spring 2011 make up campaign.
We won’t comment on the cliché that of course, she’s the one advertising the ‘Tribal Warrior’ look; we’ll just look at her incredible eyes and mouth and think about how we can tone down the eye make up. The website even has an online tutorial if you like to wear your make up thick and fast.

Tried and Tested: Mascara
As much as we like make up, there are some days we simply can’t be bothered with it all. You know the type of day – you’re tired, you wear your glasses instead of your contacts and you pull your hair back into a ponytail. As tired we may be though, we always bother with a bit of mascara. Only takes 2 minutes and we hope it drags us from dreary to mildly attractive. There are three we always have in our makeup bag.
Boots 17 Photo Flawless Mascara - £5.99
When we first came across this we thought it would be rubbish as it wasn’t from one of the big brands. How wrong we were! It left our lashes looking longer and separated. It does wear off slightly throughout the day and smudged a bit but we like to think that made us look ‘smoky eyed’ and not like we slept in our make up.
3 out of 5.
L’Oreal Lash Architect - £10.29
A great every day mascara. Over the years we’ve tried all the L’Oreal mascaras and this one is without a doubt the best. Lasts all day, leaves the lashes long and full and the brush doesn’t clog.
4 out of 5.
Lancome Définicils Mascara - £20.50
The best mascara ever. No doubt. Don’t waste it behind glasses – wear the No 7 Flawless if you’re having one of these days – your lashes deserve to be seen so put your contacts in. This made our lashes ridiculously long, full and separated. It comes off easily (Lancome do a nice remover too) and the waterproof version didn’t move at all when we blubbed our heart out at a wedding.
If we could give it 6 out of 5 we would. But we can’t because that doesn’t make sense, so we give it a well earned 5 out of 5.

Steal her Look: Rihanna in ‘Who’s That Chick?’
Guest post by Kemi
The inspiration for this look was Rihanna in the video for her song Who’s That Chick? where she wears bright yellow, hues of green and brown and girly hot pink lipstick and blush.
I used Stargazer glitter eye dust in pink and yellow. Normally I’m not a fan of powders or glitters unless the product is pressed, but these eye dusts by Stargazer are pigmented - lots of bright colour! The powder is loose so one benefit is more colour pay off.
A quick tip - use a little at a time because it has a bright colour. Put a generous amount of loose translucent powder under the eyes. Using a medium sized applicator brush, dip into the Stargazer glitter powder and tap off the excess (this is very important). Once you’re happy with colour on your lids, use a fan brush to wipe off any fallout of extra glitter on your face. If you’re going for a fun girly look I highly recommend these products.
Bright colours look great on skins with yellow and orange undertones which covers the majority of black and mixed skins of all colours and shades. Use a black powder to create smoky eyes and the yellow to make the eye bright and fun.
To create the rest of the look, create your canvas. Use a foundation of your choice (see my post on faking natural beauty for more info). You might think it weird that I’ve done the eye make up first but this is a trick of the trade - most make up artists do the eyes before they apply foundation in order not to mess up their hard work!
Use a Primer. I used the 17 Photo Flawless Primer from Boots which creates a smooth surface on the eyelids to apply and blend eye shadows. It also allows makeup to last all day all night! At only £4.99 you can’t go wrong. Tap a 5 pence coin size amount onto your lids all the way up to your brow and blend with your finger.
For your base use a neutral colour, brown, beige, gold matte without shimmer. This is just to create a layer so that the brighter colour shows more. I used Benefit’s ‘Dandy Brandy’ velvet eye shadow.
Use your applicator brush to apply the bright glitter eye dust on the lid from the inner corner. I used bright yellow ‘30’ eye dust. If you want a pink girly look use the glitter eye dust in ‘106’ or ‘107’ which is a bright fuchsia colour.
Apply the darker colour with a smudge brush or blender brush (black or brown) at the crease and gently blend outwards in an A shape. This should look soft and not a harsh or sharp line. (Unless you want a lot of drama!)
Apply mascara and liner brush to draw thin lines following the shape of your eye. If you want a retro look, do a 50’s inspired flick for a girly touch. I used Bobbi Brown Gel Liner as it’s long lasting and very easy to use regardless of your drawing skills!
Apply fake lashes for more girly drama! I used thick lashes with cubed feathers by Stargazer ‘60’.
Stargazer Fake Lashes are £5.00 and each pot of eye dust is £3 and available to buy at www.stargazer-products.com.

Steal her Look: Halle Berry
Guest post by professional make up artist Kemi.
Want to be red carpet ready in 20 minutes? This really does work - I actually timed myself. You might think I have used special methods or quick secret techniques - I didn't!
Halle Berry looked natural yet glamorous at The Golden Globes in February. I will show you how to achieve this simple yet stunning look so you can feel just as fabulous in less time than you would think!
What you need to do:
Prep the skin: Cleanse, tone and exfoliate if need be (using products of your choice)
Time taken: 5 minutes
Suggested products to achieve this look:
Mac Studio Fix Powder plus Foundation (no shine at all)
Mac Studio Finish Concealer (creamy rich concealer)
Mac eye kohl pencil – ‘Smoulder’
No 7 Amazing Eyes in black
A matte eye shadow the same colour or two shades lighter than your skin
Mac Jubilee lipstick
Benefit Ultra Shines lipgloss - Life on the A list
Blush - Bobbi Brown - Flame 4 or Mac - Honour (Note - pink blush gives your face life, darker shades without shimmer are used to contour and create symmetry to the face when used under cheekbones on jaw line etc)
Benefit Brow Zings or Brows a go-go
Benefit Bad gal lash mascara
Your skin is prepared and your products are laid out. Let’s get started!
1. Halle has used a matte satin smooth finish foundation. Mac Studio Fix foundation plus powder is perfect as it gives a matte finish (no shine) yet a smooth texture for a natural look. Apply with Mac Duo Fibre brush for evened out flawless cover. If you have dark circles, creases or blemishes keep blending more powder foundation or use Mac Studio Finish concealer. Dab with fingers in the area you want to conceal - a small amount with your index finger does wonders!
Time taken – 5 minutes
2. Define & shape brows by using Benefit Brows a go-go eyebrow powder to create natural definition. It comes in a cute case with a small eyebrow brush and tweezers. For accurate sharp defined brows use a liner brush or your finger to dab concealer (1-3 shades lighter) or a shimmery gold toned shadow under the arch of the brow to create a sharp contrast.
Time taken – 2 minutes
3. Contour with matte colours 1-2 shades darker than your complexion. Contouring is the art of altering your structure or appearance to make it more symmetrical. It sounds complex but most of us do it every day when we use blush without realising! Halle has natural contouring here, but I suggest you use a pink blush like Bobbi Brown Flame 4 on the apple of the cheeks.
Time taken – 2 minutes
4. Get the natural looking smoky eye. Use shadow all over eyes, up to the brow. If you are brown or caramel skinned you can even use the Brow zings kit and the lighter shade can double up as a great matte eye shadow. The darker shade you used on the brows can also be used to define the eye socket. Do an a line shape at the corners of your eye. Now you have a base for your liner.
Time taken – 3 minutes
5. Use Mac Smoulder or No 7 Amazing Eyes pencil as both smudge well. The No7 pencil comes with smudge pen on the pencil! Line the shape of your eyes all the way around. Line your upper and lower water line. Smudge the outer lines. Blend well with shadow (repeat until you’re satisfied with the smokiness). Smudge up and outwards for a catlike pointed shape. Use an eye shadow brush if you don’t like smudging with your fingers (although I find fingers have more control). Use a lash curler and comb lashes for defined curled lashes. Finish with mascara (2 coats).
Time taken – 5 minutes
6. Nude satin lips can be achieved by using a satin textured pink lipstick of your choice (one with vitamin E or oils help). Mac does a range of lipsticks with moisturisers that have a satin finish. Benefit lipgloss in Life on the a list smells of peaches and it’s not too heavy so can be used on top of lipstick to create a velvet texture and add more intense colour to your lips.
Time taken – 2 minutes
Now start looking fabulous!

MAC to launch Wonder Woman Collection
MAC is going to tap into our childhood fantasies and hope we still want to be Wonder Woman by releasing a collection based on the comic book heroine. We were huge Wonder Woman fans when we were kids – the invisible plane, the lasso of truth, the cuffs that repelled bullets. What’s not to love?
MAC say: 'Banish any thought of being a Plain Jane. For Spring 2011, take a trip to Paradise Island with a legendary line up of super-sized Mineralize Skinfinish, bold Eye Shadow quads, Pigment, Lipsticks and oversized Lipglass, jumbo-big Powder Blush and Penultimate Eye Liner inspired by the larger-than-life Bold Babe.'
Could it be any more kitsch?!
Rumour has it they will be bringing a pop up shop to various MAC counters across the world with possible visits to Bluewater in Kent and London’s Selfridges. No specific details on their website as yet, but they held a similar event in New York last week and attendees said international trips were promised.
Call the relevant MAC Counter for more information and to book an appointment.
Selfridges - 020 7318 3276. Due February 17 – March 2.
Bluewater - 0870 192 5044. Due March 3 – 5.
