Happy new year (better late than never… Just realised that my last post was pre-Christmas). Love this image from It magazine by Donna Trope from years ago. Keeping my eyes open for new makeup ideas and methods in 2012. Some exciting editorial coming up in January and early February, so should be well practised by Fashion Week!

Thanks to Kristina Theodoris and Caroline Simms for manning the eyeliner bar at the Maybelline NY Christmas party last night. What a cool event!

Palette of pigments, creams and eyeshadows inspired by colours of flowers and ingredients of perfume for Spring editorial. Looking forward to those longer, heady days…

I’m really pleased with these two stories which appeared in Harper’s Bazaar December’s issue. The photographer Mark Segal has captured the model Daria Pleggenkuhle looking flawless. Fantastic fashion and fun memories of our trip to Kenya!

What a lovely surprise to see that my wonderful assistant had painted my studio floor while I was in Portugal last week. Thank you Athena!

Kristina Theodoris and Caroline Sims hold it together for me.
