Femme feline...and a clever little tip

M.A.C for Jonathan Saunders SS2012

This makeup is beautiful on so many levels. Natural brows, soft buffed skin, delicate Barbie doll pink lips and of course, those incredible feline eyes. 


Now, let's be clear, I'm no more liner-skilled than the next Beaunz belle, so I asked my lovely friend Daniel Sandler how to achieve this at home without looking like my daughter did it. I could have kept his answer to myself, but here you go....and there are heaps of other tips on his website too.


Daniel recommends putting your mascara on first, so you can rest the liner pen on your lashes and avoid any smearing disasters. Then line up your credit card at the corner of your eye and using it as a guideline for your liquid liner, to get a perfectly straight feline flick. 


Me-ow.

Zambesi beauty at Fashion Week

It was so refreshing to see makeup used to make women look beautiful at fashion week.

That may sound strange, but in recent years the trend for war paint, bleached brows and goth glam was more about striking catwalk images than wearability. Last week, MAC outdid themselves creating dozens of gorgeous looks, most of them a variation on either the winged eye, the statement red lip or sometimes a combination of both.

My favourite look of the week, and one I hope to emulate for the party season, was the blue eye and red lip combo at Zambesi (as seen in my first post here). It is rare to see a successful break of the eyes OR lips rule, but this manages to be fresh, feminine and cool all at once.

What do you think, lovely readers?
