Careless Love...

I'm currently in sunny Sydney (shock horror the sun actually does shine in Australia!) working on a new film by director/writer John Duigan. The script is great and everyone involved is absolutely lovely - plus I think I may be falling for Sydney, its really wonderful to be back in a great big sprawling metropolis :)

I've been shopping around topping up my kit for this project and would like to recommend professional make up store  'Make up and Glow' to any Australia based artists. They have been an absolute delight to do business with over the past couple of weeks - always reply to any queries promptly, have good deals on their products, offer a professional discount to make up artists and are always quick to put your orders in the post! In fact a couple weeks ago I made an order from them and another from a company in Sydney, and despite the fact that Make up and Glow are all the way up on the Gold Coast my order from them arrived two days before the other which is only on the other side of the city! Visit their online store here www.makeupandglow.com.au

I'm still absolutely loving the Flickr group 'My Face is my Canvas' and think the creator should give themselves a great big pat on the back. This weeks challenge was to emulate a piece by  the awesome Illamasqua creative director and make up artist Alex Box - a giant inspiration of mine, that lady is just so damn talented! Here's a photo of her work followed by a bit of self face paint inspired by it:
