BIG LOVE; CREATING NATURAL VOLUME & COLOUR BLOCKING YOUR MAKEUP!

Get experimental this winter and shake up your hair & makeup routine. Layer your colours in contrasting combinations. Use you favourite colour of the season and colour block it. Get a little size and volume and make it your own while the humidity is on vacation. What-ever the combination, make a statement – think European and be a little quirky.

Why fight pale Winter skin with fake tan and bronzers, when you can work with it! Create a BOLD look this season and choose richer tones that complement & contrast, enhancing fairer skins, resulting in radiant, translucent, ‘forever young’ looking skin!

NAIL POLISH THE NEW LIPSTICK!

One of my biggest obsessions when it comes to shopping for cosmetics is buying nail polishes! Whether I’m out buying hair or makeup products I always seem to come home with a nail polish or two, to add to my ever growing collection! In the last couple of years we have seen a huge surge in nail polish trends. Have they become the ‘New Lipstick’?

Louis Vuitton x Candice Lake x Maxmade

I recently had the pleasure of being asked by Candice Lake to contribute on a project she was woking on with Louis Vuitton. The project was to celebrate and capture Vuitton’s Noe bag, which was originally designed in the 1930’s to carry 5 bottles of champagne (I was sold right there!).

NEW FACE; TEDDY

Introducing Teddy from Work Models. This cool, calm and collected fresh-face from the Northern Beaches was literally brand spanking new when I shot her, but that didn’t stop her from showing us what she is made of. I love her raw, understated, nearly androgynous look and style. It’s so effortless and refreshing. Check out what Teddy has to say in her Maxmade Questionnaire!
