Gloss Is Back~ Peachy Keen Lips

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.

Latest work: Supernatural Spring Look

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!

Your Words Create Your World

A little inspiration on true beauty before I will show you a super easy very quick smokey-ish eye tutorial. From the feedback I got so far from my Partner Dave, he encouraged me to put more of my personality into my next videos and be a little more natural in front of the camera. I guess I still need to learn how to loosen up. I hope you enjoy and I will come up with some more real soon, stay tuned for better and better & more fun videos!

No Brushes Tutorial- Makeup with your fingers

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 ;)
