Style Thursday: the 90s.

Perhaps I'm biased because the 90s was the first full decade I lived through but my god! the runways were churning out some stunning make-up.

Monday Muses: Lou Doillon



Lou Doillon is the daughter of the famous British actress/singer Jane Birkin (yes, she was the lady who inspired the bag) and French director Jacques Doillon and is herself an actress/model/singer. Doillon wins this week because her style screams effortless 70s glamour. Clearly something she gets directly from her mother.

Tuesday's Child is...Outta Sight



This weeks Tuesday's child was nurtured in the 60s. Following my post a few weeks ago this look is inspired by and a homage to the great Ms Tree. Recreating this or a similar look is easy with the right tools.
You will need:
MAC 227 or similar blending brush
MAC 266 or similar angled brush
MAC 219 or similar pencil brush
Individual lashes and glue
A dark eye shadow...I used a mixture of Hustle and Darkhourse from the urban decay NAKED palette.
White eye pencil or cream shadow, I used one from rimmel.
Mascara
A nude lipstick/lip liner...I used MAC subculture
Bronzer...MAC's Harmony blush

Method I used
1. Begin by running the the white pencil/cream shadow over the lid (it corrects the lid and helps colour to stick) blend the colour to get rid of any lines. 
2. With the dark shadow trace a diagonal line following up from the bottom eyelash line towards the brow, stopping half way between the two. using an angled brush (for a less harsh line use the tip of a simple eye shadow brush)  
3. Then trace the socket and bring it out to meet the top of the first line. Once you have the rough shape go over the line with a pencil brush and blend the edges.
4. With the pencil brush take the shadow down toward the tear duct and then up into the first third of the brow, blend the edges to remove harsh line.
5. Run the shadow that remains on the pencil brush under the eye.
6. Apply individual lashes below the real bottom lashes.
7. Finish the look with mascara, add a nude lip and some bronzer. Et voila! You'll be ready to seduce Lennon the same as Penelope Tree.

Monday Muses: Charlotte Kemp Muhl

Free-spirited, beautiful and talented. No wonder Charlotte Kemp Muhl is Sean Lennon's muse, the girl could make a toweled dressing gown look hot. I love her unordinary style when it comes to fashion-this girl definitely marches to the beat of her own drum...and she's a musician.
Ms Kemp Muhl I have a crush on you.

Monday Muses: Penelope Tree

*** She was the face of a decade, unfortunately like most great beauties her time in the limelight was short lived. Her iconic style is constantly parodied and reinvented on catwalks and in fashion magazines alike. Regrettably no one does it quite like Ms Tree. For an interview with the icon go to: The Guardian
