Beauty Tips I have learnt from different places (magazines, make up artists, beauticians,mum etc...)

I know i'm a photographer, not a writer or anything but i thought i would share some girl tips with you that i have learnt.


In random order:


1. Always remove your make up before bed, cleanse and moisturise morning and night.


2. Don't stick to the same shampoo/conditioner for years.Your hair will get too use to,so won't work properly. Change it for a while then go back and notice the difference.


3. When looking for a foundation it should match your skintone,not be obvious that you're wearing any make up. Do not want to be orange! Not a good look!


4. Red suits everyone. It is  all about finding the right shade of red to suit your skintone and eye colour. From bright red to an orange red of nearer pink.


5. Confidence is key to feeling and looking good. 


6. Waxing when it's that time of the month it will hurt more ( but don't worry, i still have it done whatever time it is but just a warning in case it's your first time and you're wondering why it hurts so much)


7. Diets don't work. I will never go on one myself. The best thing is to eat little but often. It is all about portion size and eating a healthy and balanced diet. Protein with every meal.Regular exercise.


8. Don't feel confident in a bikini/swimsuit? Find the right one for you body and shape then feel that instant confidence glow! Every girl deserves to feel confident on the beach!


9. Do I apply my foundation with a brush? sponge? or just use my hands? All are good, it is what you find easier that is the best way.


10. Wearing a different pair of shoes each day is better than the same pair 24/7. A 2 inch heel is a ideal size to wear rather than completely flat or really high!

Ellen von Unwerth German photographer

When i was researching photographers in international Vogues i discovered Ellen von Unwerth.I came across some photographs which i loved! In my spare time i decided to research further into her work.I love her style! I could post 100's of photographs by her on here! However, i selected these photographs as they fit in with this time of year! Summer, BBQs, Regatta! But of course express her feminity style.
