There were lots of requests for information on the makeup I was wearing in the ‘Dozen Red Roses‘ video, so I recreated the look. It’s a very (very) simple daytime ensemble with glowing skin, neutral eyes and a slick of extremely expensive lip-balm. Perfect for castings as it looks natural but still polished and it’s [...]

What’s in my Bathroom Drawer?

On February 16, 2012 By

OK, listen. I’ll admit right now that I thought this idea was a bit stupid; it’s kind of a YouTube obsession. People show viewers their ‘collections’ of makeup and how they store it. Personally, I cannot think of anything more boring than watching whole minutes of somebody open drawers in their bathroom cabinet, but there’s [...]

January Beauty Round-Up

On February 1, 2012 By

I’ve been very slack with my monthly beauty Round-Ups, sorry! Twitter followers will know that I’ve been in bed for a week (over a week, actually, now) with a bad chest infection, but I slapped on some makeup to film the video below because I thought you might be missing me. (Ha!) Enjoy – product [...]

My Haircare Routine

On January 25, 2012 By

This video is pretty self-explanatory, I think – it describes my hair routine from washing to the end of drying.  If you’re reading this on your daily email you may have to click through to the website to watch the video – I didn’t realise this before, so sorry for all the past posts you [...]

Winter Skincare Routine

On January 17, 2012 By

I have been a bit slack at making videos recently, but I managed to pull myself together at the weekend and actually film something! This particular vid has been on the agenda for a while, but it hasn’t (until now) been cold enough to justify making a winter skincare routine video! I had pretty much [...]

I had a load of random video clips from my trip to Morocco last week, so I sat there for ages and thought, how can I possibly make something publishable from this old pile of crud? This is the result! Haha, I jest, somewhat, it’s not really a pile of crud, but when I looked over it [...]

New Year’s Eve Indulgent Makeup

On December 31, 2011 By

I have wheeled out lots of my all-time (and new) favourites to create a bit of an indulgent New Year’s makeup look. The irony here is that I am probably staying in – I have my sister and her husband coming to stay and we are going for a tres chic dinner on New Year’s [...]

Diamonds and Rubies

On December 24, 2011 By

 Ha! I look a little bit like I’m sticking my middle finger up at you don’t I? Not intentional. That’s just my lip-gloss-patting pose! A nice little makeup video to round off the pre-Christmas festivities. It makes a change from bloody gift guides and such! All of the products used are listed below the video [...]

Babyliss Curling Wand

On December 14, 2011 By

After the success of the Babyliss Big Hair (the best hair tool in the world) I was quite keen to try out the curling wand. I have been testing out a few wands recently (more on that in the new year) but the Babyliss is extraordinarily great value at just £25. A huge selling point! [...]

Three Ways to Wear Red Lipstick

On December 13, 2011 By

 I’m not a habitual red lipstick-wearer, my personal preference being a slick of tinted balm or a nude-ish lip shade, but ’tis the festive season (ugh) and I thought I’d do some jazzing up of my makeup routine. Surprisingly, I am now more than a little bit partial to some red lippie – I am [...]

November “Beauty” Round-Up

On November 25, 2011 By

(Yes, you have seen that photo before. I’m wearing the Pixi Lip Blush! I was too lazy to find another ‘featured image’ for the post…) OK, so this month’s ‘beauty’ round-up includes a bag and a cat, but hey! It’s my round-up and I can put bags and cats in if I please…can’t I? All [...]

Budget Bonfire Beauty

On November 6, 2011 By

 I made bonfire eyes yesterday; the video below shows how I did it! For those who couldn’t think of anything worse than sitting through a video with someone applying makeup, there are some little close-ups below! Star of the show, I think, has to be Stila’s Collectible palette with its great pinky copper shadow. The [...]

October Beauty Round-Up

On November 1, 2011 By

Wow. I am actually on time with my monthly beauty round-up! (**UPDATE. Oh balls. I was on time, but scheduled this for the day after which is, as you can see, no longer October. What a tool!**) I have tried to keep it brief and focused this month, but as you will see I don’t quite [...]

I wouldn’t usually love a video enough to embed it here on A Model Recommends (unless it’s one of my own, naturally! Hahaha…) but this just absolutely blew me away. Make sure you watch it, it’s quite an eyeopener! Just a few questions: 1) Is this is the bloke from the Lady Gaga video ‘Born [...]

Hooray! The second instalment of the Autumn Winter 2011 Makeup Collections videos! This one features Chanel, YSL (which many of you will have viewed the other day, but lots of people couldn’t see the Vimeo clip so I’ve re-included it) and Sisley. So very high-end, but everything is extremely beautiful. There are some amazing textures [...]
