Episode 4 – Celebrity Look Victoria Beckham. Part 2 of 4

Welcome to LA TV. We have a step by step 4 part episode of how to recreate Victoria Beckham’s signature makeup look. Sarah Jane Wai O Flynn works her magic and shows us her step by step guide on how to recreate look with her top tips included so keep your eyes and ears peeled! Posh’s makeup is understated, unlike her skyscraper heels.

The focus is on healthy-looking skin, nude lips and dark, sultry eye makeup. Or for day, you can do Posh-inspired smoky eye makeup that’s lighter simply by switching to pencil liner and skipping mascara. When all else fails, reach for oversized sunglasses to look like Posh as they tend to hide a multitude of flaws.

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?
