BROKEN EYE-SHADOWS, BLUSH & POWDERS... HAVE I GOT THE BEST TIP EVER!!!
Have you ever had a favorite eyeshadow or your best bronzer break into a thousand little bits and then small bits of powder makes it way all through your makeup bag?? How irritating is it when you buy a new Mac shadow and find its smashed only weeks later, most of you would throw this pot of mess out but I must stop you right there! I have the tip of all tips to repair your pot of crushed shadow.
* Get yourself a small bottle of Isoproplyl ( 99% alcohol) from the chemist, it will literally cost you around a fiver.
* Crush up all the left over shadow into a fine mill of powder in its pot.
* Add a small amount of Isoproplyl to the crushed up powder and mix until it is slightly runnier than the consistency of toothpaste.
* give the bottom of the pot a few taps to get rid of unwanted air bubbles and leave to set
* Isopropyl will dissipate and by the next day you will have you shadow, blush or powder back in its original cake form, good as new.
Try it , it really works!!!

NEW TIP TO HAVE FUN WITH!
ok.....so I've been trying out this new thing lately. Someone once said "There is nothing new under the sun", and that may well be the case, SO if you have been doing this wee trick for ages, I'm sorry!
HOWEVER if you haven't I hope you have fun playing!
BLUSH, I know that we are not big on "rules" but if in doubt, a look that always works is matching the tone of your blusher with the same tone on your lips. BUT.....lets be wild and crazy and take that a little bit further.....
Have you ever tried taking your blush colour
and using this for your eye contour colour or....
on top of your contour colour. Blending it slightly up towards the brow.
Its a beautiful warm look that can bring everything together and really
make your eyes popo!! (like that word!!)
Give this look a crack and send us in some of your "successful" photos, using this technique.
Can't wait to see the results.

2 DAYS ON AN INDIAN SHOOT
INDIA COMES TO NZ
2 days of lippy, powder, shimmer, curls, dancing, laughter, southerlies and plenty of head bobbling. What a fab shoot!
Indian crew from Lemon Yellow Sun landed in Wellywood a few days ago to shoot a 2 day commercial for Monte Carlo clothing. The crew were mint people and a whole lot of laughs to work with. The weather played its impeccable part of keeping up the '4 seasons in one day' scenario, not only did we get wind burnt, drenched and are arses frozen off, we also got a touch of sunburn just to top off our days.
We had 3 international models arrive for the shoot, a gorgeous lady by the name of Marcella whom shone like a star and nothing was a problem. She had literally got off a plane from Brazil , got thrown into our fabulous makeup Maui van, stripped of most of her clothes and was made to stand in the sea in a southerly and look happy about it ahhhhh . She was an absolute Storm trooper!
Then there was Faranz, a very professional, popular male model from Iran and Carolina, another beautiful but slightly more on the diva-rish side, Brazilian model.
The crew were top people and really showed us all about fast turn around TV!!! They also showed us when there is a need to cut back on budget, get rid of continuity 1st ahhhhh. Outrageous I hear you say and I couldn't agree with you more, but it sure was a giggle when things disappear and reappear through different angles of the scenes being shot. Certainly it made for an easier day although I wouldn't want to be in the editors shoes at the other end.
All in all,it was yet another wonderful job, a crazy adventure, new fun mates and a lot of laughs... oh and did I mention a lot of head bobbling! Loved it.
PS we were explained that the head bobbling means they are happy , not sad, between yes and no, maybe or not sure. In general i guess you could say fence sitting?
