Hot Red Lips

I have always loved red lipstick. Lips which are perfectly applied with it, instantly makes a woman look ten times more glamorous. Even though I have always loved red lipstick, I haven't found the right shade, until recently I found Chanel no.14 called Passion. It has basically lived on my lips ever since. Whenever I have have trouble with choosing an outfit for a night out (I believe we've all been there a few too many times!), my go-to outfit has now become an all black outfit together with hot red lips. I think it's one of the most sexy ways to wear it, or as Sienna: all black with a beautiful printed piece.

These portraits of Raquel Zimmerman are stunning.

I love the make-up, and the accessories that are used here are gorgeous.

Eye Love Black Magic

A how-to video guide on how to achieve beautiful, black, smoky eyes. This look is a classic for me, though I rarely actually take the time or make the effort to do this look. And also, I dread the fact that my eye make-up will probably end up all down my face, or that I'll end the night with enormous panda eyes. But going through the make-up stages step by step with make-up artist, Daniel Sandler, has inspired me to try it out in the nearest future. I'll just have to remember to check my make-up regularly during the evening and go light on the champagne!

Will you be trying it out this Christmas?

A Perfect Combination

I always love to try out new and different things when it comes to the way I do my make-up. Looking at the model's make-up on the runway is almost as exciting as looking at the creations they are wearing as they work the catwalk. Still, no matter how many things I try, I always fall back to the same combination: smoky eyes and pale lips. It's such a perfect combination! I love the way smoky eyes give off such a dramatic and sensual effect, and at the same time I really like the neutral, nude lips. They fulfill each other so well. Don't think that I use this make-up look every day though...the drama and the sensuality might get a bit out of control if I did!

What's your favourite make-up look? Do you like to keep the focus on the eyes or the lips?
