Hi Tory,
sometimes a retro look needs a very specific eyebrow shapeSometimes a retro look needs a very specific eyebrow shape, particularly pre-War ones with pencil thin brows, and for that you need to completely blank out your existing brows using cosmetics. All you need is a glue stick and a little know-how!

Hi Tory,
Here's the next tutorial in my Lipstick Series - this time we're going all vampy and 20s with a smoky dark eye and matte burgundy lips for a close-up worthy of Valentino!

Hi Tory,
beautiful people who trotted about the globe having a marvellous time and looking terribly glamorous without appearing to spend much effortNot so long ago, I bought an assortment of lipsticks and glosses, and realised on closer inspection that each one sparked off a particular decade in my head. This is how The Lipstick Series was born! So, today I'm starting with a 60s nude one that I'm calling That Bardot Jet Set Thing - a look inspired by those St. Tropez beautiful people who trotted about the globe having a marvellous time and looking terribly glamorous without appearing to spend much effort. It's like the earlier structured Mod look of the decade with a slightly slapdash sex kitten, devil-may-care twist.

Hi Tory,
a really easy and quick technique that gives a nice hazy retro effectSometimes you don't want to go through all the hassle of a lip pencil followed by your colour on a lip brush, or you want something a little more informal and a little less structured. This is where lip staining really comes in to its own, and it's a really easy and quick technique that gives a nice, hazy, retro effect. We do like our retro effects here. ;)

Hi Tory,
it's a little labour intensive but a boon to those of us not blessed with long lashesI've been raving about the makeup artist Wayne Goss for ages now - he has a fabulous YouTube channel chock full of useful tips and techniques and some gorgeous tutorials. He's also very easy on the eye! ;)
One of his tutorials which really impressed me was his trick to get clumpfree spidery lashes using just your ordinary mascara and a lash comb. It's a little labour intensive, but a real boon to those of us not blessed with long lashes - you can really work on the bottom lashes too without any mess.
Give this a go, tell me what you think and do check out Wayne's channel!
Hugs and kisses,
