10. Have fun!!!! it may sound daft...but if your not having fun and enjoying yourself..don't bother!! The passion of modelling comes within and it shows in the images. if you are bored, it will show! no one will want to look at images where you look bored! (unless that is the concept of the shoot :P )

Hey Beauties,
Sorry i haven't blogged in awhile i'm actually having problems with my computer.....it broke haha

Recently I had a got some money to spend so i went to Guerlain because i had always wanted to try something from them. I was planning on getting Meteorites or Terracotta Bronzer but I came across this gorgeous illuminating powder which was special edition. Its called the  Terracotta "Sun in the City" and its a gorgeous golden colour that reminds me of the Estee Lauder Illuminating Powder Gelee.

The Guerlain Terracotta "Sun in the City" Illuminating Powder has such a soft texture to it and blends like a dream but that isnt the best part, I love the packaging beyond anything I have ever seen before


I just think that the thought and the actual craftsmanship that goes into creating one of these is amazing, the patterns and the texture. Its simply amazing!
When using the product you get the most gorgeous true gold colour not this fake yellow gold colour but a true rich gold colour. It is meant to me a highlighter for your face but this would make an amazing eye colour as well if you blended it with other colours you would get an amazing summery look. There might be one bad thing to it though if you arnt used to or dont like fragrances this may not be for you because it is so heavily scented but i really like the scent because it feels quite classy and sophisticated

You only need a small amount for a big impact with this product as it looks natural but you can make yourself a gold glitter bomb haha. The Pigmentation is quite impressive because you wouldn't think it to be. I would say it does last quite long but not if you touch your face a lot although as Christine from Temptalia said in her review  "When I wore this, it lasted for seven hours with noticeable (but not disastrous) fading by the eighth hour" I think this would look even more amazing on people with darker skin because it would give such a gorgeous glow to the skin

"This is a heavy watch of the product"

Product up close

As you can see above the swatch shows that it is pigmented and looks gorgeous on the skin. I would say rather than the product being overly glittery its more of a sheen like a shimmer than a glitter.

Overall the Guerlain Terracotta "Sun in the City" Illuminating Powder contains 15g of product for £43 or $70 USD and is available from Guerlain Counters or online at House of Fraser in the UK

The contact has been made. The brief is received along with possible picture references. This is where the photoshoot starts! It isn’t in a studio, or out on location like most people think. It is when you get booked, either through an agency that you are signed with, or a casting call of some type as a freelance model. So what is it like to be a Model? It's very hard work! You have to look after yourself, keep in the loop of fashion world, buy/read magazines like Vogue, Elle, i-D and many many more. Why? Because you can get ideas for how to pose, how to use your body and face to tell a story in a photograph. Practise in front of a mirror, know what works best for yourself. Even have a little fun “photoshoot” session with a friend..know what will look good on camera as well as in the mirror. Being on a studio photoshoot and a location photoshoot, what is the difference? Well, you are doing the same as you would on location as you would in studio, but with a location photoshoot you have the environment to think about. Weather, what structures are around you, can you use these to help with poses, for example sitting on a park bench, leaning up against a brick wall etc. In a studio, you may have props, like a chair, or a table, so you have to think what can I do with these that fit within this brief I have been given?

So on set..what is it actually like?! It's hard work! A lot of people do think you have to just sit there and that it's easy, but it is much much more than that. For example...a beauty photoshoot in a studio...The make up artist has to make sure that every little thing is perfect, a beauty shoot is close up of the face, so there is no room for mistakes (for both make up artist and model). Once make up/hair is done..it's time to get in front of the camera! The heat of the lights, the possible boxed in feeling with the photographer in front of you, lights and reflectors around you..it can get really hot!! I always try to imagine what the photographer is seeing..where is the light coming from, if I do this will that block any light..with all this in mind I am also thinking about the brief of the photoshoot..is it a romantic soft look? Or is it a bit rough around the edges...either way you have to consider that even looking scared, worried, angry...you have to look your best, and show of your best features.


If the shoot is to show off the clothing, in studio or on location, you have to think of what poses would show the clothes off best. You don’t want to be all hunched up and not showing all the clothing off...or any accessories that you may also have on too, and no matter where you are, you have to think about the lighting!
It is a long process and a long day..you have to keep your energy levels up. I always take something to drink and eat with me, so I will always have my energy. After the photoshoot is done, you will then have images to wait for, sometimes you may get them on the same day, sometimes it can be a month later, or in some cases you're brief may have been that you wont receive images for your portfolio, but instead it is being used for a campaign, advertisement etc, all this information is always given out before you turn up for the photoshoot (or should be anyway!).

Being a model is amazing fun, and I have loved every moment of it, the ups, the downs and everything in between. If it is something you want to do, you must must must be thick skinned. The industry is very competitive, people always giving their opinion, giving you critique, and it is usually very bluntly. Remember you are going to be in the limelight, whether just locally, or globally! Most of all, remember to have fun, stay positive, and love what you do!! :)

Hey Beauties!

I have recently found out about these amazing eyeshadows, they are from Makeup Atelier Paris which is a French brand which originates from a School of Makeup.
I was sent a few things by Makeup Atelier Paris and i thought I would review them separately so you could see about them in depth, I have to say I am in love with them they are so pigmented and easy to blend.

T09 "Rose Violet Nacre"
This Palette has 5 gorgeous purple shades ranging from a deep plum to a pastel pink/purple. It is a mix of Matte and Pearl shades which blend like a dream and even more so when used with a cream base.
Each shadow comes with a net weight of 10g but looks they contain more shadow as they are bigger than MAC pans
