The divine Jourdan Dunn for Burberry Beauty’s new campaign. So loving seeing black women in major beauty ads – and with supermodel Joan Small’s recent spate of covers (I think I can count 5 this month, including Italian and Australian Vogue) finally maybe we’re seeing a significant shift in the representation of all races and [...]

These are INSANE. It’s been awhile since I was this excited about an eye shadow – and let’s face it, I do get quite excited about eye shadows on occasion. Not since the launch of Chanel’s divine Ombre d’Illusions which are still in constant rotation at MM HQ have I gone crazy for a new [...]

Featuring Kate Moss (who just never seems to age), here’s a look at her photo shoot for the new Dior Addict Extreme campaign. The new Dior lippies look gorgeous and are right up my current alley as I’m loving rich saturated colour with just the right amount of shine.     Shot by David Sims, [...]

I am super excited about the launch of the new Gucci Westman collection for Revlon, Expressionists. Inspired by abstract paintings it has a deep, glamorous colour palette which has such an audacious colour selection, particularly for a drugstore brand. This is a real collection for makeup artists featuring the kind of colours that we swoon [...]

  Ah my hair – what a saga that is. When it’s well behaved it looks like this: When it’s badly behaved it looks like this: (Although David Lee Roth looks a hell of a lot prouder of his luscious locks in this video than I am of mine). And that’s how it’s been my [...]

SHUT UP! Tom Ford’s new collection for Spring now includes four glistening, gorgeous, unbelievable cream eyeshadows. You all know how popular cream eyeshadows are around MM HQ (put it this way, if we were both single…) and now one of my favourite makeup lines has them? Well I’m there, in spades. Here is the rather [...]

I literally can’t get over this new ad for MAC’s Reel Sexy collection that has just been released. Shot by her husband photographer Miles Aldridge (who I worked with in London on quite a few occasions, assisting Kay Montano and Sam Bryant), it’s full of Miles’ hallmark super-saturated op art colour – not your everyday [...]

For Monday’s delectation here is the gorgeous British model Daisy Lowe, for a Vogue shoot that I worked on a couple of years ago. I was assisting Kay Montano who gave Daisy feline lined eyes, and James Pecis the hairdresser gave her cool girl hair. The story was shot by Jacob Sutton, one of my [...]

These are, in a word, awesome. Super pigmented lipsticks in a deep cream formula that you dispense from a small artist tube, and you mix to custom blend your own shades. Amazing, right? It’s so funny that I don’t blog about MAC more often (note to self, must rectify that). I think it’s because they [...]

Makeup by Gucci Westman I know that New York Fashion Week was a couple of weeks ago, but I just loved this makeup by amazing makeup artist Gucci Westman. I thought it was fresh and gorgeous, like all her makeup really (and let’s be honest, my favourite type of makeup). Gucci Westman is Revlon’s Global [...]
