cheating beauty sleep….

November 4, 2015 by loudartford

We all know the importance of getting enough sleep. Knowing it is all well and good, but actually getting it is a different matter. The rings under my eyes will confirm that there is definitely not enough in my life at the moment. I would say that there is enough to function just about, but the whole beauty sleep thing is not happening. Lack of sleep unfortunately does affect our appearance; there’s no getting away from the dull skin and […]

Get the look – Volt Cafe

September 22, 2015 by loudartford

My work as a make-up artist takes me on all kinds of interesting jobs, making up different faces for all different reasons. One of my favourite types of job is shooting beauty, I love these kind of shoots because they’re all about the make-up and hair. I especially like the ones where I can showcase brilliant organic and natural beauty. I loved doing this shoot for Volt Cafe’s Organic Beauty Week special… For the skin throughout the shoot I used […]

New Weleda products…

August 25, 2015 by loudartford

I had the very hard task one sunny afternoon in July, of eating almond cakes while learning about the new Weleda products, set to join the already well established almond family… Born in 1921 in Switzerland, Weleda are one of the leading natural health and beauty brands sold across the globe. They are still owned by their original founders, and adhere to the strong values that were just as important back then as they are now. Weleda are certified 100% […]

Anti-ageing make-up tips..

May 19, 2015 by loudartford

Everyone is looking for the anti-ageing answer it seems – I include myself in that I must say. Green juices, fancy serums, yoga, the list can go on and on. Much of it is a healthy lifestyle that we can all adopt to some degree; however there are things we can do for an instant youthful effect and no, I’m not talking botox.. The right make-up can lift and brighten any face within seconds. Natural Health magazine asked for some […]

Make-up Masterclass Number 2 – Spring Beauty, Glowing Skin and the Azure Eye

June 13, 2014 by loudartford

Last month I hosted a second make-up masterclass at Content Beauty, here are some tips from the evening – Glowing skin will never go out of fashion and it is something everyone can achieve. The first step to natural flawless skin is good skincare, getting into a good regime will really help your make-up as it will determine how good your make-up looks and how long it will stay looking good. Try doing a DIY facial once a week using […]

5 mins with…. Lina Hanson

November 18, 2013 by loudartford

I was lucky enough to meet celebrity make-up artist Lina Hanson last week, when she was in London visiting my favourite shop Content. Lina’s client list is like a who’s who’s in Hollywood, it includes stars such as Ewan McGregor, Orlando Bloom, Naomi Watts and Brooke Shields, to name but a few! Not only is she an amazing make-up artist but an expert in natural beauty, Lina has managed to completely green her kit – something I hope to be […]

Get the look – Look Magazine

October 30, 2013 by loudartford

I worked on this lovely shoot for Look magazine a couple of weeks ago. After prepping our model’s skin with skincare from The Organic Pharmacy, these were some of the key make-up products that I used. I used rms ‘Un’ Cover Up as my concealer. On the eyes I used a light wash of an OCC creme colour in Newt and then went over it with a peach eyeshadow from my Couleur Caramel selection. I also used a lighter colour […]

Trying to clean my kit up and show green beauty is cool, and that we don’t need harsh, unsustainable or untested chemicals to look good. No hemp skirts in sight!

There was definitely spring in the air today ✨not that I don’t like winter but a little bit of warmer air and some sunshine might do my skin some good!! If your skin is in need of a little boost like mine, creamy blush and highlighters can be an easy way to add a healthy radiant glow - powders can sit in dehydration lines and makes things look worse sometimes.. this is @theorganicpharmacy highlighter before any fingers went in! I love to use fingers to apply - use one to gentle stipple product on and then a clean one to blend ✨how do you apply yours? . . . . . . #skin #winterskin #spring #skincare #makeuptips #beautytips #mua #makeupartist #greenmakeupartist #greenbeauty #cleanbeauty #organicbeauty #makeup #highlighter #radiantskin #creamblush
#tbt to this lovely valentines shoot a few years back with @ruifaria_ ❤️❤️ Can’t remember exactly what I used but I’m sure a lipstick for the red and pink and then I think Bella Pierre for the glitter (obvs would make sure it was biodegradable if did it again) ✨ ❤️💚❤️💚❤️hope your evening is full of ❤️ . . . . . . #valentinesday2019❤️ #makeup #valentinesmakeup #glitter #redeyeshadow #redlipstick #organiclipstick #beauty #greenbeauty #organicbeauty #cleanbeauty #mua #makeupartist #greenmakeupartist
#selfcaresunday of course it isn’t all about skincare by any stretch but I do like to do some nice skin stuff on a Sunday :) Tonight I’m actually keeping it so simple though, my skin is feeling sensitive and I’ve got some itchy dehydrated patches.. I’ve cleansed with @beautykitchen Prime Time Cream Cleanser (which I’ve used all week and it’s removed all makeup, washes off easily and feels nice and calming on my skin) and then I’ve gently massaged in some of @mallowandwhite chamomile and lavender oil 💜 these two ingredients are my go-tos whenever my skin is feeling delicate, simple but my skin seems to love them 💜 What’s your Sunday self-care? Image by @felicityingram skin by me :) (this was actually a food shoot and I think this was cream that we used.. lots of skin food in the kitchen..) . . . . . . . #skin #skinfood #skincare #skinroutine #skinregime #organicskincare #greenskincare #cleanskincare #beauty #makeupartist #beautyblog #greenbeautyblog #greenbeautyblogger #faceoil #plantoils

#newblogpost talking about two beauty recycling programmes available through the wonderful @terracycleuk ♻️ 💚I’m getting slightly obsessed by the possibilities available... crisp and snack packets, pens, dental care, pet food... check them out! ✨back to the beauty... did you know you can recycle lots of your beauty empties at participating @loccitane_uk_ire stores including lipsticks, empty eyeshadow cases and mascara tubes... wipe and face mask wrappers (along with other waste) can be recycled through @garnieruk free programme as well... Any recycling tips?! ♻️♻️ . . . . . #sustainablebeauty #recycling #recycle #packaging #beautypackaging #beauty #makeup #greenbeauty #ecobeauty #makeupartist #greenbeautyblogger #beautyblogger #greenbeautyblog #noplanetb
🍓❤️🍓currently loving this Strawberry Booster from @bybibeauty I’ve been using it on me and a couple of clients and they’ve loved it too 🍓❤️ Just pure cold pressed strawberry oil (waste product from juicing industry ✅)- a couple of drops goes a long way. It works so well under makeup, giving skin a brilliant boost and helping foundation etc to go on smoother, but isn’t really shiny just gives skin a natural glow. I’ve also been using it as a pick-me-up over makeup in the middle of day - especially in this cold weather ❄️my product of the week for sure - and great value £12.50 ✅🍓 How are you beating the ❄️❄️? . . . . . . #skin #skincare #winterskin #sustainablebeauty #cleanbeauty #naturalbeauty #beautyblogger #greenbeauty #greenbeautyblogger #greenmakeupartist #mua #makeupartist
