Australian brand Nude by Nature’s answer to natural mineral make-up.

The name NudebyNature conjures up thoughts of  the outdoors and reflects the concept of this beauty brand.  I understand from my newly discovered extended family ( who happen to be make-up artists) and live close to Melbourne Australia, say the brand widely advertised on infomercials. That’s an advertizing term i hadn’t ever heard before.  However i had the chance to try these products for myself at the event with journos Rebecca Barnes and Karen Heath at the London Launch in the Charlotte Street Hotel.  I have to say i  liked the consistency of the liquid foundation as it smooths over the skin so easily and naturally.

I met the Global Brand Ambassador & fellow make-up artist Clint Dowdell where we exchanged some friendly banter.  This make-up range is easy going for those of you looking for a simple choice while enhancing the skins complexion. The description of each product below is true to expectation which is refreshing.  There are no harmful ingredients or parabens and the foundations are available in mineral and liquid consistency.

The range includes a line up of eco friendly synthetic brushes. This makes them bacteria free, soft to touch, easy to wash and dry. There’s something for everyone here and works for the lightest of skin tones to the darkest.

The Match Made Service is a devise that matches your skin tone for foundation and colour cosmetics to suit you perfectly. It’s only offered in certain areas so you need to add your postcode to find a free consultation with an advisor. I’ve taken clients to match the right colour foundation finish as a consumer. I have to say clients of all ages are extremely happy with their choice and i was impressed with the extensive variations of foundation colours and finishes. It used to be trial and error with make-up and now you can be sure of your choices.   Match Made Service Boots UK.

ORLY COLOR AMP’D NEW & exciting nail collection available Boots UK 15th October.

The most varied and fashionable colours you’ve ever wanted from one nail brand. Gel in appearance and needs no base coat, has a fast drying top coat with a gloss finish,  lasts longer than your average manicure, smudge proof  (meaning it smooths over if the colour smudges while drying). I personally love Sunset Strip as it has a vibrant finish and removes easily with a basic nail vanish remover with no problems. Think this is an absolute winner collection and perfect to brighten up the coming Autumn/Winter months. Available Boots UK 15th October 2015.
Head nail technician Ami Streets created this look for LFW using Orly nail colour for fashion designer Markus Lupfer S/S 2016.
