Hallo Ladies!
Just a quickie to keep you all entertained. I adored Kate Moss’s look at the Met Gala – silver turban and everything! I printed out a picture of her and took it to my Illamasqua girl, where my lady Leena did a look for me. I should have got there with an hour to go but the cats – I blame the cats – held me up so there was only a paltry 20 mins to go before closing time (and you know they love to kick you out with 10 minutes to spare!).
*I forgot to say, the camera work is shaky as I was holding it up with my hand – for 20 minutes! Ouch!
This was the result. It’s odd watching someone else apply make up to you, tis a skill!
Thanks Leena!

Pish! Your hands weren’t shaky at all, Row!!
I must admit that I rather liked the Japanese song haha. Catchy and cute!
Thanks for showing us this video!! The little blurb before each step was really really helpful. And I really enjoyed watching Leena performing her brand of magic on you!

Can you just pop by to Illamasqua and they will re create a look for you? I need to shake up my makeup! I always feel a bit scared of the counter and everyone has such dramatic make up I feel too much like a wall flower to go there

Hi Jess
Yes, just pop along and you can ask them to redo a look for you! I don’t know where you are based but sometimes it takes a while to find a MUA you really trust and bond with – when you find one, make them your artist! The counter is quite dramatic yes, but be specific. I think i may do a little post on this, I hope you find it useful

Hey Lou!
They are all mine!!!! I can give you some tips where to look. Little boy kittens are nice, but naughty! little black boy cats are also known for being very loving and friendly. Have you tried some shelters? its the best place to get them although kittens go quickly so its good to be fast

Hey Leena
Stop pimping on here!
Seriously though – do not be alarmed by Illamasqua’s somewhat gothy appearance the girls are very nice indeed and they won’t do anything too scary if you don’t want it.
Also Illama now have videos you can take home so you can recreate your look! x

Hi Louise!
I’ll let you know if I find a kitten. Sorry about the event I text you the day before but Leena mentioned it so I don’t think you got my message. I was in London and had to stay for an extra day, x
