It’s hard to be a global beauty citizen. I’m shooting Autumn/Winter beauty stories, but still on nice days in Sydney I’m also shooting late swimwear and beach stories as the weather has been so rubbish that they’ve all been postponed (forever, it feels like). Then I’m having loads of lovely bags land on my desk [...]

How fab is this video! Shot by Style.com at the show test for Thakoon with one of my favourite all-time makeup artists, Diane Kendal, and amazing french hairdresser Odile Gilbert, it shows the process that takes place before the runway show. The designer and hair and makeup artists all get together over a period of [...]

Out the door. Make Up Forever? Too unwieldy. MAC? Relegated. Why have I fallen in love with it in [...]

After lots and LOTS of relaxation, and wine, and food, and lounging by the pool with novels so trashy I would be downright mortified if I lost my Kindle, and more relaxation, it’s back to normality. Which is good because I have a new mascara that I’ve fallen in love with! I’m quite a tough [...]

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope you all had a lovely and relaxing festive season and start to 2012. It has been harder than anticipated to prise myself away from the pool (or the beach, just to mix it up a bit). The lure of sunshine, sand, swimming and that feeling at the end of [...]

Happy Holidays! I can’t believe it’s Christmas again – 2011 has absolutely flown by. I want to take this opportunity to thank all my wonderful readers who have made it such a great year at MM HQ – where more makeup is NEVER enough and the search for the perfect skincare, nail polish and body [...]
