Gloss is back and while I love matte lip colours nothing get's me more into Spring mood than a peachy shiny lip.
I just created a peachy keen lip look for The Lane!
Check out my favorite product pick's and tips on how to achieve the look.
I can't wait for Spring to arrive in Sydney and am feeling the busy season ahead already.
I hope you enjoy! Feel free to comment if you have any questions regarding the look or the products.
I was lucky to work with the wonderful Luisa Brimble, who is an uber-talented photographer and just overall amazing person and the fabulous blogger Natalie form Eat Read Love on a fashion editorial shoot for a designer boutique in Cronulla, called ROAR. If you are ever in the area, check it out! The shop is located in a former church building, and is just really worth visiting.
Are you liking the look? Here is how I achieved it:
The model sure was a natural beauty, so I kept her makeup very spring/summery and bare. I wanted to create an undone look, like a cool girl would achieve herself. Just emphasizing her features without the use of colour. Base: Starting with a hydrating toner by Tata Harper and massaging Jessica's dry skin with nourishing moisturizer Vinosource Riche by Caudalie Paris/ Her gorgeous skin only needed a dab of foundation through the center, I chose Chanel Vitalumiere in 20, which gives a beautiful radiant sheen and Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal for highlights on the cheekbone & upper lip. I brightened her under eye area with By Terry Touch expert in Nr.3, then contoured her cheekbones with Benefit Hula Bronzer to sculpt the cheeks. Eyes: I used a nude eyeliner to open Jessica's pretty eyes, dabbing clear gloss into the inner corners of her eye and just sweeping underneath her lower lashes with a soft liner brush and some warm brown eyeshadow.On the upper lid I soflty blended a wash of peach pink eyeshadow by Nars. The brows were filled in with a Laura Mercier Brow Pencil in Blonde and then brushed up with an Ardell Brow Gel. After curling her lashes, I only used one coat of mascara to keep it more understated.
Lips: A tinted balm on the lip and ready was this super simple and natural look.
Hair: The hair was tonged in different directions, to create a random natural wave with texture and movement.
And now I am really in mood for Sydney Spring!
I have been experimenting with video lately. It's a completely new field for me I am just learning everything about filming, editing and sound... After a week of learning more I chose to make my first ever video public, although the audio is really off, and it's not perfect in many ways... It's work in progress I think. I have already bought a microphone, so the next sound will hopefully come out better.
None the less I hope you enjoy this little fun NO BRUSHES tutorial. And my following videos hopefully hurt your ears less ;)
The other week, just before her beautiful baby girl was born, the gorgeous Gaby from This Little Port was feeling very tired.
Not being able to sleep with that then very big bump and a rather dancing baby inside, she asked me for some simple every day makeup tips to look fresh when you are tired!
Please go over and check it out. Feel free to comment on her blog for any further questions about makeup and I will do my best to answer them for you.
There are also some more makeup tips over here at White Magazine!
I hope you enjoy!
This is not about weddings or makeup, this is just about me and new work life over here. Winter is very different here in Sydney. I am from Germany, where winters get bitter cold and the atmosphere completely changes. Although it's chilly now and I do turn the gas heater on in the evenings, drink tea, eat pumpkin soup and sleep with hot water bottles on my feet, during the day it still feels nice enough to sit outdoors in a cafe. Some trees loose their leaves, but the city is still very green even now. I wear shoes without socks even in winter! It's amazing. My favourite new little "winter" shoes are pretty ballerinas, from House of Harlow 1960. A little treat to make Winter time more fun. I think I can safely say, I like Winter over here, a completely new experience for me.
While weddings are slowing down in June and July over here, there is plenty of admin to catch up on for me. My beloved laptop just died, and after being a little confused and upset for a week, I am now all set up with a spanking new iMac, which makes me feel all settled. Winter work consists of plenty of paperwork, admin and business planning. At the same time also of realizing my own makeup projects for my portfolio and collaborating with some wonderful people. While most people in the industry are taking time off, I take time to settle in and organize myself for the busy season ahead.
I am only now finally getting into a bit of a routine in my new Sydney life and feels very good.

We got married!
It feels like a little while ago and at the same time as if it all happened just yesterday.
It truly was the most magical special day.
We were still buzzing days after and well into our honeymoon.
While we were on holidays exploring Scandinavia (part 3 is to follow soon!) our little man Dalston, had a staycation at home. We missed him all the time but it was good to know he was in best company. Our amazing friend and talented photographer Julianna aka J.K.Blackwell helped looking after him.
I love my job so much! I just had the chance to travel to Bali to work on a destination wedding.
I packed Dave into my suitcase and we added a few days onto the trip.
We were in luck when wedding photographer Jo Bartholomew, who also flew in from Sydney was up to take some shots of us!
I love her work. So this is the story of how we somehow ended up having a spontaneous engagement shoot, that we would have never planned to do. I am SO glad we did.
One very windy and cool Sunday afternoon, we met up with super-star pet photographer and friend Julianna from twoguineapigs to celebrate Dalston's first Birthday.
We had to leave cake and candles behind but the weather still allowed us to wear our party hats.

I have been tossing up if I wanted to share Faye's birth story with the world or to keep it private.
It's her story too, after all...
But then I remembered how much I had been empowered & inspired by all the positive birth stories that other women had shared. Sharing these stories feels very important to me, especially since there are always so many horror stories being told about birth.
One word upfront: I wrote this story down when it was all very fresh. Lying in bed, typing it with one hand on my phone. It has not been edited nor been creatively written. It just the words as they came to me at the time. Real and raw...
