Araya Kay Jewelry

This Sunday just passed, I had the honor of doing makeup for the owner and creator of a new jewelry line, and her model. Araya Kay is the name of the online jewelry shop and her brand. The jewelry pieces are gorgeous; there is something there for everyone and their different tastes. It ranges from gorgeous statement pieces to cute, girly pieces! The website is hoping to be up and running, awaiting floods of orders by the first week of November (trust me, the pieces are irresistible!!). The website is www.arayakay.com so keep tuned for a more detailed post about the site itself!! 

The makeup of this day had two different looks! For the owner of the brand, Amanda I had to keep her makeup fairly natural but enough to make her stand out; however she didn't much at all! Amanda had beautiful, flawless skin and putting makeup on her was so satisfying and easy! For the hair, Amanda wanted loose waves that added body to her hair.

For the gorgeous model of the shoot, Vanessa, we decided to go for a slightly natural but smokey makeup. The main focus was the eyes whereby I created a brown neutral smokey eye, and gave her a nude lip. The idea for the hair was big, messy, voluptuous bed hair. When I receive some photos from the shoot itself, you will see why we decided to go with the smokey eye.... 

Stay tuned to see pictures from the shoot, and for the grand opening of ArayKay!!

Have a great day!

Victoria Secrets Show 2013 ❤

If anyone knows me, they will know that I am completely obsessed with the Victoria Secrets Runway shows. I cannot count the times I have sat watching these shows, back to back on Youtube, right from the very first Catwalk in 1995! I am not only obsessed with the underwear/swimsuits that they show, but also the ridiculously toned bodies of these women! I am also fixated with their look; that gorgeous bouncy, angelic curly hair and the glowing-goddess kind of makeup! Eugh. JUST PERFECTION!!!!

It's been announced that the 2013 show will be on the 10th December, on CBS (an american channel). By then I shall be back in the UK, and that night i'll be frantically searching to live stream it! The model line up is all of the gorgeous supermodels from last years shows such as the beautiful Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Alessandra Ambrosio, Lilly Aldridge, Lindsay Ellingson, Karlie Kloss, Doutzen Kroes and Bahiti Prinsloo. Unfortunately, Mirander Kerr hung up her Angel wings earlier this year, wanting to take a more focused role on being a mother; therefore who will be taking her place? Could it be the beautiful and unique-looking Cara Delvinge or the super leggy, Jourdan Dunn?

Now, IF I had to choose who was my favourite Angel it would most definitely be Candice Swanepoel. If I wrote a list why, we would be here forever.

Here is a few sneak peeks at some of the this years outfits!! In love already and FAR too excited! I'm like a child on Christmas Eve!!!

Victoria Secret Angel Makeup

The signature look of the Angels is always bronzed, super dewy, a beautiful glowing complexion and a subtle sexy, smokey eye and pink/nude lip. Each of these beautiful models carries this gorgeous look so well! Highlighting and contouring is done to perfection, and the smoldering eye cries sex appeal! The hair is loosely waved or curled to create the angel like curls. OH, HOW I WANT TO BE AN ANGEL!!!!! <3

Think I'm feeling inspired to do a Victoria Secrets Angel makeup look- we can all pretend to be an Angel, right?!
