Now, as cream to powder formulations are the ones I have most trouble with, I invited two guest bloggers to try out a brand new foundation on the market, Urban Decay Surreal Skin. Let’s take a look at how Lina from Make Up to Make Out and Charlotte from Lady of the Lane got on with it: First of all, Lina: I was given this […]
Foundations come in all shapes, sizes and formats, I’m spending a day on each of the main types of foundation (powder, cream, and I’m splitting liquids into matte, and dewy, but I think a mousse might slip into at least one of those, so be warned!) and I’m starting with powder, as they can be a bit less scary than full on foundation … Loose/Minerals […]
It’s foundation week here at Get Lippie, I’ll be bringing you some hints and tips, and reviewing a few foundations (and the odd tinted moisturiser) from my collection for you too. If you have any questions, let me know, and I’ll do my best to get back to you! But I wanted to start the week off by mentioning Cosmetics a la Carte. A lot […]
This Giveaway is now closed, and comments are no longer allowed on this post as a result. Remember my post about Lip Tars? I picked up eight of them at IMATS, and, I confess, there are still a couple I would like – mainly Grandma, but I could be talked into Vintage and Plum too … the only thing that’s been putting me off has […]
No time for a proper makeover this week – genuinely things are INSANE here at Get Lippie at the moment, but normal service will be resumed soon, I promise! Last time Genna appeared on this page, we turned her into a California beach babe: This time, something a little more traditionally glam: A smokey eye with a nude lip. I used a pink Milani […]
(With sincere spologies to my Scottish readers!) Spring is in the air, have you noticed? I’m serious! The last couple of days have definitely been a bit warmer, and I no longer feel the need to wrap up like the Michelin woman to consider leaving the sofa. With that in mind, as the weather has made me think about warmer times, I’ve been gently warming […]
While I was sorting out my nail polish drawer the other day, searching for a perfect red after the Crimsun debacle of last week, I pulled out all my Chanel reds – truly, I believe Chanel do the best reds, in either lipstick or polish – but this little beauty caught my eye. And I use the word beauty advisedly, as I LOVE this shade, […]
By Get Lippie, aged 32 and a lot of halves. I don’t get serenaded by middle aged men in body paint nearly often enough, I’ve decided. I was delighted to be invited backstage (as a guest of Illamasqua) at the House of Blues AW2010 fashion event at London Fashion Week recently. An opportunity to get to see Alex Box work at close range was an […]
Here’s some eyewitness scenes of what happens backstage at London Fashion week. Check back later today for a written account of the day, including some exclusive quotes from Alex Box of Illamasqua!
Two weeks ago, when I did my makeover on Rebecca from le Salon de Beaute, she brought along her friend Sam for a makeover too. It was lovely to meet them both, and I was really happy to get the opportunity to makeover two such lovely women. Meet Sam: Sam has amazing bone structure, and beautiful glowing skin. She spends a lot of time outdoors, […]
Today, I’m going to be tweeting live (backstage!) from The House of Blue Eyes event at London Fashion Week. Follow @Get_Lippie on Twitter, I’ll be using the hashtags #LFW and #HOBE. If you don’t tweet, don’t worry, there will be a full report here in the next day or so. I’m really very excited, Ilamasqua are doing the make up for the show and this […]
I try not to make Get Lippie political – I’ve said before, it’s all about the products and how they work as far as I’m concerned, but I thought I’d share this email exchange that took place today regarding a product that a PR firm wanted to see featured here my blog: “Hi Louise, Xxx from xXx here, I’m writing today to see if you […]
