Feline Fever

[London Fashion ]  Exaggerated eyeliner was a big trend at London Fashion Week – the entire front row at House of Holland shunned the smokey eyeliner for a more defined Feline-like mark flicked up at the edges.(For a visual think [Jaqueline Fernandez] in her Amy Whinehouse tribute in the latest edition of Harper’s Bazaar.)

The 'naked' eye look that was seen at New York Fashion Week was also a big hit at many of the week's shows, but for those of you who can't possibly part with your precious eyeliner should take a peek at the huge eyeliner flicks at Jonathan Saunders (below). 

A bit of contouring of the cheekbones, add a matte nude lip colour and you’re good to go!

A/W 2011 - Perfect Pout

[Dark Lips] These seasons runways have been awash with intense lip looks this season (think Gucci, Stephane Rolland).  The trend has also been sported by [Katrina Kaif] on the Elle cover, and [Sonam Kapoor] on Harper's Bazaar cover - we think both ladies looked stunning.

Deep Purple, burgundy, and blackened shades of lip colour are a must for this season.
Our tip to recreate the look is to use a sparkling black lip gloss layered over a red/purple lipstick for a sheer shaded effect.  Our favourite product for acheiving the look is the [Givenchy Gelee D'Inderdit] Lip Gloss in No.2 Celestial Black.  The gloss offers a sheer, soft veil of colour - perfect to intensify any of your existing lip colours.

Priyanka Chopra - Agneepath

[priyanka chopra] at the Agneepath First Look screening in Mumbai looking great.  
The actress is looking really good here - we just wish she'd skipped the coloured contact lenses...they take away the natural sparkle in her eyes which makes her skin look a little dull.  A pinkish lipstick or gloss may have helped to lift the look, but PC is looking beautiful nonetheless.
Simple yet Elegant - we like!

Shady Lady

[sunglasses] The right eyewear can make or break an outfit.  Make sure you are on trend with this seasons hottest sunnies.  Here's our picks....


1950's inspired cat-eye sunglasses are huge for summer; they have already been spotted on loads of celebs from Rihanna to Scarlett Johansson.  Our fav's are the Tom Ford Nikita ones pictured below, they also come in black (£239)

[Tom Ford Nikita - £239]

If the cat-eye design isn't your thing, not to worry, here's our pick of the 3 other trendy sunglasses on our wish list:

[Alexander Wang]  Love, Love, Love these!  Not for everyone, but we defo want a pair of these beauties...

[Alexander Wang, Zipper Frame - £240]

[Ray-Ban] The classic Ray-Bans are timeless, make sure you are on trend with the patterned frames on these great sunglasses.

[Ray-Ban Clubmaster - £120]

[Urban Outfitters]  These fab sunglasses are a great dupe for the Ray-Bans but a fraction of the price.

[Urban Outfitters Caramel Sunglasses - £16]

Tip on this seasons sunglasses? The bolder the better!

Smoking Hot

[Rani Mukherjee]  Rocking her trademark smoky eye Rani looks incredible on this cover - its shot in natural light which could be why she looks quite light-skinned on the cover...really fresh.

Catwalk Trend: HighBROW

[Christian Dior] and [Manish Arora] have been seen sporting some fun eyebrow looks on the catwalks at Paris Fashion Week...both shows saw models taking the ramps with red eyebrows! 

As great as it looks on the models, we think this is one look we will be leaving on the catwalk...unless you really want to raise some eyebrows in your local shopping mall!

Kareena Kapoor IIFA Voting Event

[Barefaced Beauty] Kareena had us going ga-ga with this beautifully simple look at the IIFA Voting event in Mumbai today.  Her skin is looking so fresh and youthful...all proof that less really can be more.
Looks like Bebo is wearing Angel by Mac on her lips (Kim Kardashian's favourite Mac colour).  The simple eyeliner makes her eye colour look more vivid than usual...a perfect example in using make-up to enhance features rather than drown them.

Oscars Updated...

[Aishwariya Rai Bachan] You will have probably seen most pictures by now, but just incase you haven't here's Aishwariya Rai Bachan at the Oscars.  We think she looks amazing!  She wore a bronze coloured Armani Prive gown...love these brown tones on her, also prefer the darker shade of hair...what do you guys think?

[Mallika Sherawat] Turns out Mallika was also at the Oscars this year! Two Indian Beauties on the red carpet at the Oscars...we aren't complaining! She looked cute, can't say I was a huge fan of her outfit or her make-up, but great to see her strutting her stuff on the red carpet! Oh, and we LOVE the earrings...

Oscar Fever!

We are eagerly waiting for pics of Aishwariya Rai at the Oscars...as soon as we see some we will upload them.  Lets hope she keeps the make-up minimal...
