5 minutes with Kirsten Kjaer Weis…

November 17, 2015 by loudartford

I first met Kirsten Kjaer Weis over Skype when I interviewed her for Content at the beginning of last year and then again more recently when she gave a masterclass in the shop earlier this year. She is a very inspiring woman who has created a high performance, luxury make-up line that also happens to tick all the boxes when it comes to green beauty as well. The products are gorgeous in texture and colour, they come in amazing sleek (refillable) […]

Winter Beauty for People Tree’s EcoEdit..

November 10, 2015 by loudartford

Halloween and Guy Fawkes are done and so the countdown to Christmas begins! It’s also very autumnal and getting chilly; so as we get out those warmer wardrobes, think about your winter skin too. Here is a little piece I wrote for People Tree’s new EcoEdit on winter beauty..

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 […]

Live web chat with Odylique!

October 20, 2015 by loudartford

I was really chuffed when organic and fairtrade skincare brand Odylique asked if I’d like to take part in a live web chat with them talking all things organic make-up. I’m a big fan of the Odylique range and can talk about make-up until the cows come home so it was an easy question to answer. We did it last Thursday night and it was great, I really enjoyed it. It was brilliant that so many people got involved, there […]

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 […]

Favourite organic kit products..

September 18, 2015 by loudartford

I’ve been ‘greening’ my kit for sometime now. Make-up has been much harder to switch than skincare, and indeed is still work in progress for my kit. We’re getting there though; I would say the last five years have seen such an improvement in organic and natural make-up. The colour choices and textures have become so much better, enabling them to compete with the more ‘conventional’ brands. This week is a celebration of organic beauty and here are some of my […]

Autumn/Winter make-up trends…

September 16, 2015 by loudartford

The seasons are a changing which means its time to give your make-up a little shake-up. The autumn/winter runways were full of inspiration, here are some of my favourite trends to help update your cosmetic wardrobe. Dark lips where a popular look, the girls at Giles sported black ones while the Marc Jacobs’ girls wore a deep burgundy. Black may not be the most flattering for us mere mortals but a dark lip is always cool going into the winter months. To […]

Organic Beauty Week #campaign4clarity

September 14, 2015 by loudartford

Each Organic September, Organic Beauty Week is getting bigger and better. This year it starts today, and as well as encouraging people to change their beauty regimes, the Soil Association have launched their Campaign For Clarity in a bid to help stop greenwashing in the beauty industry. Organic beauty is becoming more and more popular, so it makes sense that other beauty brands want a piece of the action. However that action is not always as clean and honest as it […]

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% […]

Get the look – Look Magazine…

August 18, 2015 by loudartford

This is some of my latest work that came out last week in Look Magazine. Our gorgeous model Lucinda had the most amazing brows, they look bleached but they are naturally that fair. I literally just brushed through them. On her eyes I used Pacifica’s Smolder Eye Lining Gel in Anchor as a base all over the lid and along the lower lashes. Anchor is a bronzed brown, I intensified the look with a darker brown eyeshadow from Couleur Caramel. […]

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
