People of the Sun; Bronzed and Beautiful Hall of...
I’m not going to lie, the Sun is a-shining outside and as much as I love writing these posts, I want to be out there feeling the warmth on my skin, not sat inside on the laptop. As I’m sure do you so if you’re inside reading this, GET OUT THERE!! Just don’t forget the sun protection, thankyou please.
What is it about the sunshine that just makes everyone so beautiful?...

Secret Treasures From the Kit... Part Three
Doing a little bit of research about these old faves, I heard a hideous, vicious rumour that they had been discontinued, but after calling up in despair have been informed they are still alive and well, if only in MAC’s Pro Stores. I’m talking Sculpt and Shape powders, my absolute go-to faves when it comes to contouring. As far as I remember, these started life as a limited edition...

Well-decorated; Embellishment as makeup...
A few things have lead me to writing a blog about this slightly odd topic; this will be a post about “THINGS YOU CAN STICK ON YOUR FACE”, for lack of a better turn of phrase. Or rather, embellishment, the haberdashery of makeup. When the vision calls for it, makeup doesn’t need to stop at powders and paints, we’ve been adding lashes for years without a thought, and gems...

I'll be watching you... Music Video Hall of Fame!
Today’s post is going to be a little different than usual, in that it’s going to be even more image dependant than the norm, and you’ll have far less of me banging on to get through before you reach the good stuff.
I spent the whole of yesterday in my office (aka the sofa avec snuggly throw, laptop and Pepsi Max) catching up on work after last weeks crazy marathon. Some...

A bit of grunge with your glam, madame?
This week has been a bit insane work wise, one of those get in at midnight, fall face first on the bed, get up at 6am and do it all again runs of work, that I wouldn’t change for the world, but it has meant I’ve still not had much time to sit down and put any posts together. Must write blog in advance! Note to self!
I’ve been out and about on all sorts of jobs this week, from...

Makeup Artists Hall of Fame... Alex Box
Those of you who know Alex Box’s work, will know she is a definate one in a million, when it comes to her creativity, vision and execution. There are only a handful of great makeup artists in the industry whose work is instantly recogniseable and Alex may top that list; her use of colour and texture, her incredible brush work and precise lines, her vision of twisted beauty, are all...

The many faces of... Malgosia Bela
This week has been an insanely hectic one, but when Warpaint began, I made a promise to myself that no matter what, I would always continue to smother this blog with lush posts for your delectation, so this week shall be no different!
Today I have been thinking about models as makeup muses, the often nameless faces that fill our billboards and glossy magazines… I remember when my love...

Secret Treasures from the kit... Part Two
There are certain pieces of kit, as a makeup artist, that are real essentials. Things that aren’t always easy to get hold of, but that I buy in bulk, so as to never run out. Things that makeup artists pass on to each other, word-of-mouth little legends that I could not imagine doing a job without, and honestly a lot of makeup artists reading may need to skip this post, they’ll...
