I first bought Bioderma's Sensibio Eye Contour Gel a few years ago in Paris; I had forgotten to pack my beloved Pai Echium Eye Cream and so I hot-footed it to the nearest Pharmacie to find something similar. I was in Paris for a cosmetics shoot and my call sheet...
If there's one makeup trend that has completely divided us beauty-obsessed people it's the trend for drawing brown stripes on our faces and then rubbing them in as though we're trying to remove stubborn patches of dirt. AKA "contouring". One of the problems with this...
The beauty world, as you will have realised by now, has gone contouring crazy. I mentioned in my previous post that my preferred contour method, for a really soft and subtle look, was simply a sweep of matte bronzing powder beneath the cheekbones. None of that "snail...
I did a little contouring kit comparison over on my Telegraph "hub"; Clinique Chubby Contour sticks vs the Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate. Tom Ford's "S&I" was one of the first contouring products that I remember seeing on a cosmetics counter; now the world is...
I want to talk about contouring in greater detail soon; there seems to have been this crazy fad for it and I'm not sure that everyone has been embracing the trend with quite the caution and trepidation that they should have been. There's a reason why it's a relatively...
Holy Crappolata! Yes it is me, and I am quite aware that I look as though something terrible has happened to my face. Perhaps, you are thinking, she has had some kind of eyebrow surgery? Had her eyelids removed and replaced with ill-fitting paper ones? No! I'm just...

I took a little makeup bag with me on an overnight trip a couple of months ago and then when I got home again from my travels I forgot to unpack it. I only happened upon it by total fluke, the other week, when I went searching for one of those sticky clothes rollers...
A quick little beauty post to break up the contact lens content. I mean, I'm verging on becoming an eye blogger at this point. There are two or three posts on laser eye surgery to come yet and who knows what eye-related things I'll find to write about after that?...
Arriving in London with a makeup bag that had apparently been packed by a drunk baboon forced me to be a bit creative with my products. I honestly have no idea how I ended up with four bronzers and two foundations but absolutely no brow stuff, no lipstick and only one...
I've been doing some quick little makeup videos on Instagram and Youtube and thought I'd start to share them here. I love before and afters, the transformation from normal to glam or from washed-out to a bit more lively. And this video just shows you the process in...
