Mila Kunis for Dior

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

Since playing Jackie, the self-obsessed, bossy teenager in That 70s Show, Mila Kunis has morphed from a small screen actress to Hollywood A-list star.

Her career really took a turn when she starred alongside Jason Segel in Forgetting Sarah Marshall in 2008. It was in this movie that she really caught the attention of the public as a talented comedic actress, not to mention absolutely stunning!

Her performance in the 2010 hit blockbuster Black Swan cemented her place as one of Hollywoods hottest actresses scooping up an award for best young actress at the 67th Venice International Film Festival. She starred alongside Natalie Portman and the pair will certainly be remembered!

She will be reunited with Miss Portman once again as Natalie is currently signed to the Miss Dior Cherie perfume campaign & now Mila who was one of the most bankable magazine cover stars in 2011 portrays a smouldering, sexy goddess in the new Dior campaign photographed by the renound Mikael Jansson showcasing the latest versions of the Miss Dior handbag.

Mila is excited to work with the iconic fashion house. The 28-year-old star loves the ethos of the “grounded” label. Speaking about Dior,

“I find that Dior is an incredibly grounded house. I always thought what Dior does is so sophisticated, feminine and beautiful.

Christian Dior boast a number of actresses and actors as ambassadors, previously featuring:  Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Mélanie Laurent, Sharon Stone and Jude Law.

What do you think of the new campaign?

Heigh Ho Silver

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

highfashionSilver is a great trend to get into for Christmas. Slightly edgier than gold but still with enough glitz to get you though the night!

Silver eyes look great with cocktail hour sparkles or a tougher rock-chick late night outfit. And of course it’s perfect with your faithful Little Black Dress as you can see in these celeb photos from WhatSheWears.ie

When we work with clients we tell them that silver works best pared-down and simple; it’s a great light-reflector so just give it space to shine!

For high-glamour we recommend taking a deep silver right up to your brow-bone – sweep it over the socket area blending well for an amazing shine! Most ranges do a silver palette at this time of year. Try Bobbi Brown’s Chrome Eye shadow or start with a thin layer of Laura Mercier Metallic Crème Eye Colour for a shimmering gleam under your brow bone.

Leave your lashes bare for a fresher look or vamp up with long lashes from DiorShow Mascara from Dior.

Give your skin a treat earlier in the day with a hot mask so that it’s glowing on the night. Use a highlighter across the apples of your cheeks to add some extra shine. And if diamonds are out this year, what’s wrong with a few baubles from Oasis or H&M? All that glitters is not gold remember!

You could even try the full Silver effect with a dress like this one over at Elle UK from Jason Wu. If you’re not sure how this will all come together for you on the night come in and see one of our Makeup Artists for an Individual Lesson!

Do you prefer silver or gold when you go metallic?
