Backstage Beauty:

Have a look at the beauty trends taken from Fall RTW 2011 Fashion Week and what the professionals have to say about it.

Chloe:
"FRECKLES! A smattering of freckles, “where the sun would hit”, by Charlotte Tilbury at Chloé. Tilbury used MAC lip pencils in Cork andStone to dot them on one by one. She referenced Anita Pallenberg and music festivals, and the girls did have that free-spirited, slightly rock-chick look, especially with their cakey, jet black top-and-bottom lashes. Cloggy lashes: definitely a trend…will you toss away your eyelash combs?"

Proenza Schouler:

Diane Kendal (MAC): "The boys were influenced by the American West—sun, sand, Indian fabrics—and they wanted to keep that influence in the face. So we’re doing really warm skin tones, very blended, with eyebrows brushed out and slightly feathered. The eye is a taupe-y stone, blended out—I actually used a lip pencil, in Stone—and lips are toned down. This kind of bold, strong, ‘no makeup’ makeup look has definitely been a trend so far this season."

Marc Jacobs:
Francois Nars (NARS): "We’re doing 1970’s glam updated to a more modern version, but still taking all the codes from the 70’s, like no eyebrows, greasy, very lacquered eyes, with a twist of making it look a little more ‘today’/2010 by doing transparency in the skin—a little glow—and very matte lips."

Behind the scenes: Young Aussiewood

We shot four up and coming australian actresses recently. What a treat! They were all so beautiful and fresh faced. This was such a relief from seasoned celebs who are a nightmare to deal with.

I took a few close ups of the jewels because they were so pretty. Gimme, gimme, gimme!
