Are You Free or Are You Tied Up?

Chloë Sevigny's red carpet appearance at HBO's Emmy after-party was featured as "look of the day" on Frech Vogue.

Trés chic.

Do What You Do

Hi everybody! I hope you're Summer was amazing.  Pardon my absence, I've been busy working away!  New work with The Ting Tings, Marina and the Diamonds, Chloë Sevigny, and lots, lots more!

I was recently asked in the comments how, as a makeup artist, I would apply the TEN Natural Cheek Stain that I'm loving right now.

I like to use a small foundation brush (my favorite is Paintbrush Two from Billy B. Beauty)

and apply it to the apples of the cheeks.  You can also apply it with the container, and then blend out the edges with a foundation brush.  Be creative! There are no rules.

Check out a quick Q&A that my friends at Lipgloss Chicas did with me.

They've been doing some great updates, so follow their blog! It's amazing.

I'm working on getting my links section up to speed with all my latest blog crushes.  More updates soon!

Perfect Ten

New obsession!  My friends at Tarte cosmetics sent me a lovely package recently and I am totally obsessed with their new LipSurgence Natural Matte Lip Stain

Tarte has been a favorite of mine for a long time, and I LOVE a good lip stain!  All of the shades are amazing, but Lucky is my favorite.  It goes on smooth and evenly, and doesn't crease like a lot of stains tend to do.  It's a very nice matte texture, and it plumps the lips with a refreshing, minty tingle!

I'm also loving the new TEN Natural Cheek Stain they sent over!

It's an amazing shimmery pink, that gives your cheeks a natural flush.  TEN is a limited edition shade to celebrate Tarte's tenth anniversary so don't snooze on this one!  It's sure to sell out!

Plastic Planet

I flew to Vegas a few months ago to shoot the cover of Jalouse magazine with Alice Hawkins.

I wanted to put a modern twist on an 80's makeup look and I used Melanie Griffith in Working Girl as my inspiration.

We had a blast being renegades and running all over Las Vegas, stealing as many shots as we could in casinos and hotel corridors...

Good times.

I want it, I want it

Check out Corinne Bailey Rae's new video for Closer, directed by Adria Petty.

I've worked with Corinne for years, and it was great to get to play with so many different looks.  My favorite was the coral lip we did with the silver dress.  I used NARS lipstick in Casablanca.

Check out this cool behind the scenes video... Lots of great beauty shots!

I'm On The Pursuit Of Happiness

I picked up this nail varnish at a Chanel event for makeup artists back in January, and I've pretty much been wearing it ever since!

This might be the first time I've ever used an entire bottle of polish!  Totally obsessed...
