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 […]

Product of the month – Alima Pure Luminous Shimmer Blush

December 11, 2014 by loudartford

Have I said before that I like blusher? Well now I really like blusher – it works wonders after just a few hours sleep, which thanks to my 4 month old daughter is what I’m averaging most nights at the moment! (Hence the lack of posts… ) I’ve always been a fan of cream blushers as they are so quick and easy but my current personal favourite is a mineral powder from Alima Pure. They have 24 colours to choose […]

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 […]

People Tree Visit To Bangladesh

June 11, 2014 by loudartford

Last September I went on an amazing trip to Bangladesh with People Tree to shoot the 2014 summer catalogue. It was a whistle-stop tour but what we saw was incredible. We arrived in the madness of Dhaka on a Friday morning. We had a quick cup of chai then embarked on a car journey almost longer than the flight. After a very scenic, slightly hair-raising drive we arrived at Thanapara Swallows in the west Bangladeshi division close to the Indian […]

Product of the month – Cream Blusher!

March 20, 2014 by loudartford

Forgive me if I am repeating myself BUT no women should be without a cream blusher. A flush of colour on the cheek is THE most quickest way to brightening the complexion. Make it a cream blusher and it’s even quicker. Powder blusher in general needs to sit on top of another powder for it to blend well and look natural; cream blusher on the other hand can be applied straight on top of your moisturiser. Perfect for that natural […]

Get The Look – Volt Cafe Organic Beauty Project

February 11, 2014 by loudartford

Natural and organic beauty is coming more and more to the forefront of people’s minds. Whether it’s because they are starting to take care of their health through an organic lifestyle, they’ve become aware of possible hazards in what they are currently using or they’ve just seen the power of what naturals can do, it’s all good. Many other make-up artists I know are starting to use natural and organics in their kit as they realise that they can live […]

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
