I wrote this on the Vogue forums and thought it might be useful here as well - Spring/Summer make-up trends for this season. Quote: Lips: either strong raspberry lips that are slightly blotted and kissed off (MAC 'Rebel' blots down to a sexy plummy-rose stain), or really pretty soft...

A break-down of the leopard print eye, as recently reimagined by Kabuki for Harper's Bazaar (pictures here). This is a fairly classic fantasy look; there's a fashion spread featuring this eye design on Elizabeth Taylor that dates back to 1949. I created a similar look for a major assessment...

http://temp.larahill.com/debbieharry.jpg She's such a firecracker. I'm glad she's a VG face. As always, please don't hotlink or redistribute (unless you feel like flicking a few dollars into my paypal account to cover my massive hosting bills ).

Today was a work function with a Spring theme, so I went with lots of sweet pinks with a touch of fresh leafy green for contrast. My inspiration was red lollies, raspberry iceblocks and the flushed cheeks you get when you experience that first warming 'bite' of a Spring sun. I'm a cool-cold...

I've decided that I've seriously had enough with being overweight. I work seriously irregular hours and have fallen into a habit of not having breakfast, eating on the run and not exercising. Between my crappy lifestyle and going off BC pills a year ago, I've gained a pile of weight. I'm 67...

http://tapedeck.livejournal.com/458869.html I wrote this this morning after dealing with a particularly troublesome bride, and I thought it might ring true with some of the other MAs on this board. Ah, nothing like getting up at 3 AM to deal with a Bridezilla

I found this one in my folder of old facecharts and scanned it for a friend, but I thought some of you at Specktra also might be interested in it as well. This was specifically designed for someone with 15/20 skin, but adapt as required. Elizabeth Taylor classic face. Most make-up books have...

I swear, any photo of me trying to look pretty and show off my make-up always brings the lols. There's a good reason why I don't get in front of the camera very often This isn't a particularly exciting look, but the entire face is more or less tear-proof. With the exception of re-powdering and...

Pale colours increase distance, dark colours decrease distance. To increase the distance between close-set eyes, keep the intensity or depth of colour on the outer third of the eye. Contour most strongly on the outer third, tapering as needed over the middle of the eye. If your eyes are...

I made a quick photo tutorial about a quick and painless way to depan pre-made MAC quads without needing flames, irons or other heat sources. http://mac.larahill.com/depanning.htm I hope it helps someone!

My dear man keeps raiding the lost property bin at his base and rescuing all these hats before they get tossed into the incinerator, bringing them home and presenting them in the same way a cat presents its human with a dead bird. I don't really have a head for hats, but I keep wearing them...

Have you had your eyelashes tinted? Good experiences or bad? I know in some areas in the US it's illegal to do, but it's offered everywhere here and it's a common part of a beauty routine (every six weeks - hair trimmed, pedi redone and eyelashes tinted). I'm writing it off - although it looks...
