Vintage Beauty

Classic make-up is so elegant and beautiful, I really love filmstars in the 1940's and their glamourous looks. The make-up in that era was stunning, from the scarlet red lips to the lash of eyeliner on the top lid, it was such a lovely look.
Classic beauties such as Rita Hayworth and Lana Turner were my inspiration for this make up look.

My mum had a 1940's rememberance party to attend and she needed to look the part. After searching hours for clothing the styling was complete all that was needed now was the hair and make up (this is where I came along.) Taking inspiration from some of the classic beauties of that era I created a wonderful look that really complimented my mums natural beauty.

To achieve this look I used:

Doesnt she look gorgeous! xo

a perfect french

I adore painting nails, I could sit all day and never tire of it. My favourite look is the french manicure, its so feminine and gives a lovely illusion of longer and well maintained nails.
Whilst studying at London College of Beauty Therapy, I did many french manicures on clients and students in my class when we got bored! We used OPI, but I personally found the polish to thicken up after only one use of a new bottle. What a waste! However, I went and popped along to Boots on Oxford street and found a cheaper and much better alternative in Rimmel and for the white tip Collection 2000! That was in July and I still use the same bottles today..Perfect!

And here is a picture of a french manicure I painted on my lovely friend Cheryl :)
