Quiet Luxury
Everywhere we look we’re seeing the term ‘Quiet Luxury’ - but what does it really mean, and how does it apply to beauty? Quiet luxury is less about the ‘look-at-me’ pieces and flamboyant make-up looks, it is much more discreet. Timelessly chic, understated minimalistic looks, tied with an air of self confidence and acceptance of self.

Keep your hands and feet groomed. I was recently asked why as a makeup artist I launched a FOOT FILE and NAIL FILE within my range, and in the simplest terms it is because beauty does not stop at the face. If I am on set without a nail technician, it is my role to ensure the model looks and feels their most beautiful.
MAKE-UP
The key to minimal makeup is underpinned by skin prep. A beautifully prepped canvas will allow you to enhance your natural beauty with just a few beauty staples.
Tweezers, lash curlers and a SPOOLIE are the heroes of your makeup bag, each can be used without makeup to provide a lift to your features.
Look out for creamy blush formulas which blend effortlessly for a healthy flush, lightweight concealers for covering blemishes and defining mascara to open up the eye area without looking clumpy.
