Cara Delevingne Inspired Makeup Look

I am a huge fan of Cara Delevingne, she is one of my favourite models and has such striking features. I was inspired by a campaign photo she uploaded to her Facebook Page. Cara looks beautiful as always but it was the makeup look that caught my eye, it's very striking with a gold eye, a bright lip and light contouring. 

It is a very pretty look, perfect for a night out or even worn on a daily basis. The golden smokey eye gives this look a defined edge but the bright pink lip then tones it down and adds a sense of prettiness and colour.

GQ's Woman Of The Year

I am not a huge Kim Karsashian fan myself but I do appriciate her beauty and style! She recently posed completely naked for a shoot with GQ. Her fresh face graces the cover with a holiday like natural glow, that most women die for or try to imitate!

For the cover she has lost the full face of foundation and contouring she is known for and opted for a more natural coverage. A use of beige shades and gold tones makes us believe that she could never possibly have any kind of imperfections! It's almost believable that she wakes up like this and has no need for makeup. The application of makeup is done so well to create this sort of illusion! 

The GQ shoot is to celebrate picking up 'Woman Of The Year' award in London on Tuesday evening. For the spread Kim reveals her naked features, posting an image from the shoot on Instagram to her millions of follows. Her bare bottom is slightly hidden behind a pair of cream heels, producing a raunchy but classy shot associated with high fashion! 

She accepted her GQ award in a revealing Atsuko black latex bodysuit, a Ralph and Russo couture skirt and Tom Ford heels. Her makeup was normal Kim  Kardashian style with bold eyes, strong contouring and a nude lip. 

      

Kim Kardashian's style has grown from  strength to strength. She know how to show off her incredible curves and oozes body confidence. Whether you like her style or not, you have to respect that she has the confidence to pull off certain fashion items that some people may not dare! 

These are a few reasons she is GQ's 'Woman Of The Year' and is idolised by millions all over the world!

Amy Adams - New Face of Max Mara

Amy Adams has mastered many roles within her career, now she has graced the Accessories Winter Fall 2014/2015 Campaign for the Italian Fashion House Max Mara.

The actress models their Signature Bag the 'it' bag and the Margaux, a classic from the brand, as well as striking frames from their glasses collection.

Amy looks effortlessly beautiful in two different caramel coats that compliment her bright fiery locks and pale skin tone. The makeup is very simple yet striking with a grey smokey eye, a touch of bronzer underneath her cheekbones and a pale pink lip. The colours and textures for this campaign work perfectly.

Jennifer Garner was the first Celebrity Actress the brand worked with for a Campaign which brought a lot of interest and attention, the feedback was excellent. This was the reason for choosing another well established and respected Hollywood A-Lister. Giorgio Guidotti, President of Max Mara's Public Relations believes that including Hollywood A-Listers will give their campaigns a timeless image. 

If you are an Amy Adams fan, no need to worry. The actress is not giving up her day job, she is due to start filming 'Story Of Your Life' a new Sci-Fi film that is scheduled for a 2016 release. Although being the face of an Italian Designer caught be bad right?

Drop Dead Gorgeous

Blake Lively attended the Mr Turner Premiere at Cannes Film Festival in a white Sequined Chanel dress. Her hair styled in loose curls and her naturally bronzed complexion demonstrates the beauty she holds. 

The dress has a low V neckline and a clinched waisteline that shows Blake's shapely figure. The detailing of this dress is mesmerizing and oozes high fashion. Accessorising with a white chiffon pashmina and jewellery for extra glamour.

Her long healthy blonde locks supported by her natural makeup and pretty pink lipstick. It seems effortless, it's almost believable that she wakes up looking like that. She is one of most natural beautiful women that are continually gracing Red Carpet Events. 

Since she appeared on Gossip Girl I think most people developed a lot of respect for her natural beauty. I'm a lover of makeup, but the most beautiful women are the ones who don't need a lot. The ones who's beauty shines from the inside.

Rihanna for Vogue - Body Confidence

Whether you like Rihanna or not you can not deny the amount of body confidence and confidence in general she has.

Yes, I'm sure your thinking "I don't look like Rihanna or have a body like she does" but confidence comes from the mind not the appearance. I'm sure at one point in her life or even maybe now she has things that she isn't 100% enthusiastic about. This does not have to be related to your appearance but any aspect of your life that you would like to change. It's all a state of mind. 

People have different opinions when it comes to Rihanna due to her edgy style. You may love her or you may think she over does it. It doesn't really make a difference as she is clearly comfortable with her style and image. That's what confidence comes down to, learning to love every part of yourself. 

This photoshoot is very daring as Rihanna appears half naked yet it has a great deal of class to it. The shots and nudety are handled very well in order to demonstrate sex appeal but from tasteful point of view so it doesn't look cheap. 

For the Vogue cover and photoshoot Rihanna appears in underwear and edgy pieces. This choice of styling is perfect for her as it encompasses her style as a person. These are items you would exspect her to wear.

This is another Vogue cover for the Rihanna Edition which shows her bold but natural makeup to highlight her youthful skin. Her eyes are a smokey charcoal which contrasts against her terracotta lips. These colours follow a theme for this photoshoot. 

As stated above body confidence in general is a state of mind, what your mind chooses to believe about yourself. Learn to love every part of yourself and your life and with that will come confidence that will glow from the inside out. Once you learn that you will have no trouble being at ease with your self. 

No one is perfect, even if there is someone you look up to and believe is perfect, there will be things about themselves they find difficult. So just remember that if you have insecurities about yourself or your life, there will always be someone who thinks it's beautiful.

Coachella Festival Fashion Trends

The festival season has begun as the sun starts to shine and our days become brighter. Coachella had a range of festival fashion trends to inspire style for the numerous of festivals to come throughout the world.

Here are my favourite Celebrity Fashion Trends for 2014 Festivals, whether you want to wear a dress, high waisted shorts, crop top, bikini or vest; the choice is yours. All of these outfits are very well put together, but its the styling and accessories that make these Standout Outfits. When you are styling your outfits whether its for a festival or on a daily basis always think about your accessories. 

I would have to say that my favourite is Selena Gomez's White Lace Dress, but I am a huge fan of  Kylie Jenner's effortless but grungy style.

What are your favourites for the Festival Season?

Emma Stone Dominates 'The Amazing Spiderman' Paris Premiere

The tour for 'The Amazing Spiderman 2' has begun and Emma stone is becoming one of our 2014 style icons. At the Paris Premiere she wore a PVC strapless dress by Lanvin that she carried gracefully but with sex appeal. The dress is black with a high leg split and a chunky belt, which she teamed this with some black court shoes with a ribbon around the ankle. The shoes are the only item I am not too enthusiastic about, I think it is due to the ribbon but that is a very minute detail. 

Emma has very natural makeup with bright red lipstick and a simple up-do that is perfect, it makes the dress the main attraction. This look is Hollywood Glamour with an edge, and its the perfect contrast against Emma's pale skin. 

She looks radiant. 

Emma is pictured with her on/off screen boyfriend Andrew Garfield, who looks very handsome in this suit(although he doesn't look too amused).

PVC does not have to look cheap.

I hope you are having a lovely Saturday!

Julianne Houghs Pixie Crop

Julianne Houghs Pixie crop is not exactly a new do now but since seeing her on dancing with the stars I can't get enough. The mixed blonde tones gives it so much dimension and the way it's styled gives her girl next door look an definate edge. Her makeup is natural with dark thick eyebrows and dark smokey eyes; contrasting against her light complexion and blonde highlights.

Are you a lover of the pixie crop and Julianne Hough?

Yellow Matching Two Piece

This is a definate confirmation that our Spring 2014 Trend Colour is yellow. We are only just coming into spring after a wet winter and already two women from separate reality shows, are seen wearing the same out fit. There is no doubt that they both look great in this yellow ensemble, but I think Sam Faiers takes this one due to her bronzed skin and contrasting bright blue heels.

What are your thoughts?

Do you prefer Rosie's take on this yellow two piece?
