Michael and I were doing hair and make-up for the debut single Gold Dust by up and coming London band Devil’s Gun. The brief for this music vid, shot in a damp dark cellar in Camden, was that the lovely Dominque (lead vocals) had a split personality. Fot the first look evil Dom had crazy back combed hair and dark smoldering eyes. I created this using Barry M 23 all over the eyes and MAC’s Carbon eyeshadow blended in to the eyelashes and heavy eyebrows. For the lips I used foundation with eight hour cream.
For the second look, Dom was soft and beautiful but still maintaining a rock chick edge. Michael cut a sharp bob on a sleek black wig and I brightened up the make up by washing MAC’s Beautiful Iris eyeshadow all over the eye and underneath then blending Barry M’s powders on lid. I applied Laura Mercier mineral eyepowder on outer corners and finished with lashings of MAC fluid line eyeliner and high shine las vagas lipglass by MAC on the lips.

Taking pride of place in our well stacked selection of fabulous glossy monthly’s is VOLT Magazine. VOLT is definitely out there to make a statement with its oversized format and an UBER-Afro clad model who set to stand out on the shelves of your local newstand.
The images of gravity defying hair and a beauty story which makes even me want to have make-up like an extreme version of Robert Palmers backing singers are stunning. Its a shame this fab mag only comes out twice a year….. My advice is check out VOLT
Great, just what we need - more Kate Moss clones running around London in their done to death faded skinny jeans, ribbed vests and waistcoats….Yep the Kate Moss for Topshop collection hit stores this morning and thousands of wannabes queued for hours and fought over cheap clobber just so that they too could look as tired and washed out as Kate.
Come on girls get a grip, Kate Moss has been wearing this “rock n’ roll chic meets bohemian charm” for years. You would think that after seeing how widely imitated this look had become she might at least try and come up with something more original. Tomorrow the headlines will read; “Shoppers create mass hysteria over studded leather belts, vintage inspired tea dresses and gladiator sandals”…..how dull.
