Teresa

In my opinion one of the most natural beauties in Sydney at the moment is Byron Bay born model Teresa Oman. I have had the pleasure of working with Teresa on many occasions and making up her face. Here are my favorite shots from last months Oyster Beauty Daily

July Oyster Beauty Daily VIDEO

This month for the Oyster Beauty Daily I had the pleasure of working with photographer Sam Hodge. His style is so raw but at the same time quite polished. He sees something and snaps it. The day was a fun filled collaboration that was totally wacky but we got some beautiful shots. Below is a video of hair stylist Barney Gleeson and myself talking about the look for the day and the idea behind the creation.

Images to follow.

Cosmo - Fiasco Magazine

This story was recently published in Fiasco Magazine London. It was a collaboration between photographer Zac Handley, stylist Elle Packham and myself and we had an overwhelming response. Fiasco picked it up straight away and it was great for us to get it taken internationally.

On the eyes I've used M.A.C cremeliner in black. Try mixing up lining your eyes. Here i've just lined the middle of the bottom lid rather than the whole lid. Still tough but a softer take on black lined eyes. 

How good is Poppy with her pink hair. Poppy works at Bourke St Bakery and was street cast by Ana - Oysters Market Editor. She's never done anything like modeling before. Worked it like a pro.

Bec&Bridge MBFW 2012

Yesterday Beauty Department was exclusively responsible for the girls tans at the Bec & Bridge show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Sydney. I was backstage with Nadine the creator of Beauty Department tanning the girls and making sure their skin was golden and glowing.

 

Hydrating Highlighting and Illuminating

The start of the colder weather and winter months does not need to mean the end to gorgeous glowing hydrated summer skin.
Start by keeping your skin well hydrated by adding a "hydration mist" to your daily routine. This product will hydrate, refresh and protect your skin and even assist in setting your makeup. My absolute favourite is Jurlique Rose Water Balancing Mist. The light rose scent is instantly calming. I use this before I do every single makeup and also on myself.

A favourite trick of mine - and many other makeup artists no doubt - is highlighting and mixing an illuminator in with your foundation. Keep your skin glowing by adding an illuminator to your face after you've moisturised and before you put your foundation on. This way it seems as though the glow is coming from within and not just sitting on top. I've recently discovered Nude by Nature Soft Focus Illuminator. this product is inexpensive and leaves such an amazing glow. It's light and easy to blend. Don't completely cover the face - just add to the areas where the face naturally will catch the light.

If you feel you need it you can add a highlight. Keep it subtle as you've already got the illuminator. Add the highlight once you've created your base by lightly patting again into the areas of your face that would naturally catch the light. The cheek bones, brow bones, bridge of the nose and I often add a teeny little one on the chin. Again I am stressing the point of keeping it subtle and pat it on so that it sinks into your skin and looks like it's naturally there. You want to be giving the impression of perfect skin - not "oh she's added a highlight there and there". My opinion is that you want someone to look and think how amazing your skin looks and not quite be able to work out how you have created it.

Country Style

This story is in the latest Country Style Magazine as a Mothers Day feature. For everyone who loves there mum a beautiful story that will make you smile. The makeup I chose to do is soft. Just a wash of colour on the eye and flushed cheeks with a light stain on the lip.

Chairlift - Oyster #98

I had the pleasure of working with Brooklyn New York based duo Chairlift for the latest issue of Oyster. Caroline and Patrick are two individuals who are completely aware of their own style so it was a fun collaboration. From chilling out on the balcony to riding in cars eating Pizza check out what we came up with below.

Jao Brand Goe Oil

My favourite natural gradual tanner Beauty Department by Nadine Monley now carries another of my favourite products Jao Brand Goe Oil. This product is a superior grade oil that is 100% natural. It's not often I will do a makeup and not incorporate Goe Oil. You can use it on the face, body, hands or even in hair. It melts into the skin and gives it an all over smoothness and glow. Work in your hands first to create an oil and then rub or pat into the skin. Check it out on the Beauty Department website for some more info or to order - http://www.beautydepartment.com.au/product/jao-brand-goe-oil-100-natural
