GUERLAIN TERRA AZZURRA BY EMILIO PUCCI – the ultimate in luxury makeup for a bride

Monday, May 7th, 2012

GUERLAIN TERRA AZZURRA BY EMILIO PUCCI
2012

Guerlain and Emilio Pucci are joining forces to celebrate a glamorous and colourful summer.

“Guerlain by Emilio Pucci” embodies the union of two prestigious Houses in perfect synergy. Emilio Pucci, the Florentine fashion brand whose cult prints have been evoking Italian colour and a refined way of life since the fifties. And Guerlain, the jewel of French cosmetics, whose creations have represented Parisian luxury, knowhow and excellence since 1828. These rich worlds are combining in a collection of eleven products with accents of the Italian Riviera, created by Olivier Échaudemaison, Guerlain Creative Director, and Laudomia Pucci, Pucci Image Director.

Anyone who loves their fashion will know how iconic the Pucci brand is and I am always writing about how much I love Guerlain products and when I saw this collection I was so excited! I know how much my brides love to treat themselves to special products/ treats on their wedding day and this collection, to me is one that brides will absolutely adore, as not only are you receiving amazing quality cosmetics, the fact that the packaging/ pouches are in the iconic Pucci print is the ultimate in luxury cosmetics and fashion! Here are the details of these gorgeous products (which I believe will become collectors editions) :

TERRA AZZURRA BRONZING POWDER & BLUSH £51.00 / €68.00

The SUMMER’S couture powder
The star of the collection, this exquisitely beautiful object combines two success stories: Guerlain’s legendary Terracotta powder and Emilio Pucci’s iconic prints. The world of beauty and fashion unite in a single case to beautifully enhance a seductive woman. Undoubtedly a collector’s item in the making.
A SUN-KISSED powder
Halfway between a bronzer and blusher, this hybrid powder with a gentle, lightweight formula offers a universal harmony of four shades to meet every desire, from the softest to the most intense.
• For a natural effect: apply just the bronzing shade all over the face.
• For a bronzed complexion: blend the three blusher shades and sweep along the top
of the cheekbones to sculpt the face.
A DESIGN-forward case
Smooth and oval like a pebble, it is held delicately in the palm of the hand. Its secret? Its rounded form created in ebony-coloured varnished wood, a nod to the panelling of a Riva yacht, combining beauty and practicality in equal measure. For the ultimate in sophistication, it is presented in an accessory pouch printed with the Pucci motif.

MÉTÉORITES PERLES D’AZUR ILLUMINATING POWDER £37.00 / €48.00

TAN-perfecting powder
These cult must-have multi-coloured little pearls created by Guerlain in 1987 are adopting their summer attire. In a nod to Pucci shades, they are being enriched with a corrective blue pearl. All the magic of an ingenious powder, the unequalled formula for a flawless complexion.
A LUMINOUS complexion
Formulated like the classic Météorites Perles, the Perles d’Azur beautifully adapt to the demands of the sun. The idea? Three targeted and instant benefits to create a summer glow, thanks to the combination of six colours that even out and correct every skin tone, with a de rigueur ultra-luminous and delicately translucent result. Already tanned skin is subtly set off with a fine complexion-enhancing and imperceptible veil.
BOOSTER
• Corrective effect: blue and pink counter the yellow tones in tired complexions.
• Skin-evening effect: beige and orange warm up the complexion and create an even tan.
• Illuminating effect: ivory and white gold are light reflectors without a whitening effect.
Their incredibly stylish round case is adorned with the Pucci print in contrasting colours with a graphic motif.

The COLLECTOR’S brush £28.00 / €34.00

An elegant firm and generous Kabuki-style powder brush designed to subtly crush
the Météorites Perles d’Azur pigments or pick up just the right amount of Terra
Azzurra Powder. Its broad metallic ring encircling its natural midnight blue bristles
adds a chic detail. It is stored in its on-trend Pucci print pouch that is perfectly in
line with summer’s glamorous tone.

TERRACOTTA NAIL LAQUER

£17.50 / €22.00

Two bold, fresh shades that stand out against a sky blue background. Irresistible on short, groomed nails and worn unmatching on hands and feet, these peppy polishes are a must-have fashion touch to complement a two-piece swimsuit or an ethereal cocktail dress.
• 01 Paradisio: a cheery, luminous coral pink with a high-lacquer finish. Unfailingly sublime on tanned fingers.
• 02 Riviera: a powerful electric indigo blue with a subtly metallic finish. Pure rock ‘n’ roll
on golden toes.
Their round, transparent bottles are topped with a black lacquered wood lid for
a restrained touch of elegance.

TERRACOTTA MOISTURISING GLOSS £21.00 / €27.50

Three sunny harmonies for these radiant glosses with a fresh gourmand syrup texture to light up the lips with sensual high shine.
Three shades and three names taken from three iconic Pucci silk scarves.
• 10 Porto Fino: an incredibly shiny coral pink to set off a sun-kissed glow to perfection.
• 11 Porto Ercole: a sensual brown to pair with a spice-toned complexion.
• 12 Porto Azzurro: an unruly indigo blue, as transparent on the lips as it is vibrant
in the bottle.

ÉCRIN 4 COULEURS £37.00 / €51.00

A blazing palette in delectably warm tones, whose four shades allow a host of combinations, from the softest to the hottest, to play with colour and electrify the eyes against golden skin.
Its exclusive sophisticated metallic brown case beautifully sets off this summer harmony.

LE 2 DE GUERLAIN MASCARA

£25.00 / €34.00

The iconic Mascara le 2 de Guerlain has been produced in new packaging with a chocolate lacquer finish for a unique and stylish touch. This season, it is embracing summer with this elegant blue that opens up the eyes and offers the lashes bold length and curl and incredible definition

KHÔL KAJAL £23.00 / €32.00

This intense kohl is returning for summer in an indigo blue.
• Applied solely along the inside of the lower eyelid, it underlines and enhances the eyes with a provocative depth.
• Worked in a thick line along the upper lashes, it adds modern sophistication and widens the eyes.
In an exquisite touch, the brown lid is decorated with two fine ribbons – one in indigo blue, the other coral – in the Guerlain style.

Are you getting married abroad? Here are some makeup hints and tips for you:

Sunday, April 29th, 2012

Wedding makeup that will withstand heat!

I often give bridal makeup lessons for brides who are getting married abroad and want to apply their own wedding makeup.

The photographs in this post are from a beautiful wedding that I worked at in Malta last year – if anyone has been to Malta they will know how hot it is and because of this I had to make sure that I used the correct products.

If you are a bride getting married abroad and are applying your own wedding makeup, here are some hints and tips for you to help when purchasing your bridal makeup products:

Use moisturisers with a light formulation:
Don’t overload your skin with moisturisers that are too oily – by all means use an eye cream if your eyes are dry, but on the rest of your face use and oil free moisturiser. If you are in hot weather and you do start to perspire, having a moisturiser that is too oily will make your foundation ’slide’ off your skin.

After your moisturiser, apply a silicone based primer:
After you have applied your light moisturiser, it is essential to apply a primer to give your foundation something to ‘grab’ to and also to help your foundation look perfect for longer. I love silicone based primers, as not only to they give the perfect base for foundation, they also help to ‘blur’ fine lines and wrinkles which makes the skin look better, therefore you can use less foundation. (Also look for a primer with a SPF as it will protect your skin in the sun).

Do not use thick foundations – opt for a tinted moisturiser or a light coverage foundation:
Even if you like to wear a full coverage foundation on a daily basis, if you are getting married in the heat a thick foundation will slide off your skin within hours. Use a pretty, light foundation over your face and should you still be worried about any imperfections, cover them after with a long-lasting concealer.

Make sure you have the correct shade of foundation:
Before you purchase your foundation, consider what your skin tone will be on the wedding day. Will you be spending much time at the location abroad before you actually get married? If the answer is yes, then do consider if you will have more of a tan on the wedding day than you do now. If you are likely to be more tanned, please take this in to account when purchasing your foundation. By opting for a lighter foundation it will make this dilemma easier, as sheerer formulations are more forgiving and you will find that your tan will glow through the tint of the foundation/ tinted moisturiser.

Use powder to keep shine at bay:
You should use a blotting powder where needed to set your makeup and make sure that you carry a compact with you to blot away any excess shine during the day.

Use a waterproof silicone blusher:
Choose a blusher which isn’t going to melt/ slide off the skin – Daniel Sandler’s iconic Watercolour Fluid Blusher is still the best on the market.

Don’t use too much shimmer:
A little bit of shimmer is fine, but don’t overdo the sparkle in your makeup as this will look way too shiny in your wedding photographs with the bright sunlight

Use waterproof / long-lasting formulations wherever possible:
Mascaras
Eyeliners
Crease-proof eyeshadows
Lipsticks

Most importantly – keep it natural and pretty!
Remember that the makeup you would wear for a night out, is not the makeup you should be wearing for a day time, hot wedding. Bright daylight is not the most flattering light to be photographed in and if you apply your makeup too heavy, it will not look good in your photographs – especially after a few hours in the heat! Think light, pretty, fresh natural colours which will enhance a tan and will photograph well in daylight.

And if you are getting married abroad – have a wonderful wedding day!

Do you have many bridesmaids? Here are some makeup hints and tips…..

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

The above photograph is from a wedding I worked at last year in East Sussex. It was a large wedding party with seven bridesmaids and it was my job to ensure that every one of them looked beautiful and ‘complimented’ the bride, but also ensured that their makeup did not ‘compete’ with the bride.

If you have a big group of bridesmaids and you are not having a professional apply makeup for them, there are a few hints and tips that I can give you, to help your bridesmaids look beautiful on your big day.

Just as choosing a bridesmaid dress to suit different bridesmaids can be a challenge – so can choosing a makeup look for all of them! Some will wear more makeup than others on a daily basis – one or two may not wear any makeup at all and others may love a heavy look and want to look extremely glamorous on your wedding day. Many brides have spoken to me about this in the past before I have made up their bridesmaids and have expressed a concern as they are worried that one of them may want really heavy makeup and stand out more than the others – as a professional, it is my job to ensure that all of the bridesmaids look beautiful/ compliment the bride/ and all look equally stunning (whilst feeling good about themselves).

The last thing you want as a bride is a few bridesmaids with no makeup and then one or two with huge false lashes and bright red lipstick!!

My top tips for beautiful, happy bridesmaids (and a happy bride)!

I suggest to brides to buy their bridesmaids a ‘mini makeup kit’ – you could make this their present or part of their present. I recommend that this kit consist of eyes/ cheeks/ lips.

Choose neutral tones for the eyeshadows that are light and fresh and will suit all skin tones (Daniel Sandler’s Sheer Satin Shadow in Guilded Taupe or the Polychromatic Shadow in Rosy Tan are 2 that I have used for years and work for everyone). Choose a chocolate brown or a grey waterproof eyeliner pencil to compliment whichever eyeshadow you choose.

You could include a black waterproof mascara or ask them to use their own.

Then choose a light, pretty blusher and lipstick in a light pink/ peach tone (depending on your dress colour scheme).

You can’t buy as a gift a foundation for every single bridesmaid (unless you take every girl to a counter to be colour/ formulation matched), as foundation is a personal thing. As I said before, some girls will be used to a thicker foundation, some will be used to only a tinted moisturiser. So, to keep every happy and beautiful, I suggest that you ask them to apply their own foundation/ powder, but then that all of them use the colour products eyes/ cheeks / lips that you have given them.

This way, even though some of them will apply more makeup than others, at least the tones/ colours of their makeup will compliment each other and your makeup – and your will all look beautiful in the wedding photographs!

New from Lancôme – the gorgeous Hypnôse Doll Eyes Mascara

Friday, July 15th, 2011

If you are looking for a mascara that creates gorgeous, big lashes and gives a lash extension effect, you must try the new Hypnôse Doll Eyes Mascara from Lancôme, which is launched this month.

Lancôme created this amazing mascara for girls who want separated, thick, long, “nylon-shine” lashes. Thanks to its unique wand and an all-new formula, Hypnôse Doll Eyes lives up to its promise, creating the ultimate lash fringe and beautifully wide-opened eyes.

This mascara is absolutely gorgeous and will give you huge, glossy lashes – have a look at the Lancôme website, they have created a fabulous peice on the website all about this mascara (I love it as it is so ‘girly’) – click here: http://www.lancome.co.uk/hypnose-doll-eyes/index.aspx

The wand and the formula make this product so special:

A new-generation wand:

Lancôme’s Research Laboratories worked for 7 years to perfect the ideal wand, the patented Iconical Brush. The nylon, conical brush tip combines separating power with nylon charge, as well as offering a level of suppleness to rival an elastomer brush. It enables the formula to capture every lash, even the shortest ones in the corner of the eye, sculpting and lengthening them, creating a defined and perfectly separated lash fringe.

A never-before seen formula:

For the perfect “doll-eyes” lash look, the “Fiber Shine” formula is enriched with nylon powders to adorn lashes with a subtle sheen. It combines supple as well as hard waxes; the former to build volume and the latter to fix lash curve. The smooth formula glides effortlessly along each lash, instantly coating and amplifying from root to tip. Finally the “Ultrastretch” complex, formulated around lengthening polymers, creates an instant “lash extension” effect.

The effect that this mascara gives is stunning – it really is the best mascara that I have used that gave me the effect that I had a few years ago when I had lash extensions – definitely a ‘kit box essential’ from now on, for my brides who want the ‘lash extension look’ on their lashes.

Get the makeup look – Rainbow Couture 2011

Sunday, July 10th, 2011

Last year, I was the makeup artist for the Rainbow Couture 2011 campaign – an exciting shoot shot in a gorgeous location house in London.

Rainbow shoes have several ranges of shoes and the Couture range is an exciting and glamorous new range of shoes, inspired by the allure of the catwalk. The collection combines sensual silk satin and shimmering crystals, with contemporary fashion and beautiful detailing.

Couture-67

If you are a bride who loves a modern makeup look and wants to re-create the striking makeup look I designed for this campaign, these are the products I used:

1) After applying a light moisturiser to the skin, I applied the Daniel Sandler Re-texturising Primer all over the face.

2) I created a flawless complexion using Chanel Pro Lumiere Foundation, followed with the Lancome Effacernes Concealer to cover any imperfections and I set the base using the Daniel Sandler Blotting Powder.

3) On the cheeks, I used one colour of blusher – a small amount of the Daniel Sandler pressed blusher in shade whisper was enough for a gentle glow (don’t use too much though, as the eyes and lips are the main part of this look)

4) The eyes were strong for this look – I used the Lancome Ombre Absolu Duo eyeshadow in shade G01 and I applied the light shade to the brow bone and the soft black shadow to the eyelid. Top tip – when applying black eyeshadow, hold a tissue under your eye to catch any ‘drop down’ and always apply a small amount first and build up to get the intensity you want. Line the eyes using the Daniel Sandler Velvet Waterproof Eyeliner is shade Black Velvet – I lined the eye along the top lash line, the bottom lash line and also in the inner lower rim (avoid the inner rim if you want the look to be more natural).

5) Mascara – always black – I used the Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero Smudge Lengthening Mascara

6) To complete this look, I used the Daniel Sandler High Impact Lipstick in Peony on the lips, but rather than applying it with a lip brush, I patted it on to the lips with my finger, so it created more of a soft stain of colour.
