he turned his obsession into attention

notice anything different about this particular catwalk show?
its obvious that all the models are styled to look exactly like the late legend Amy Winehouse. created and designed by Jean Paul Gautier and paraded for his latest spring/summer collection, gautier claims that this line isn't created to be sold, but created to pay tribute to a great legend. not surprisingly, and without any confirmation from her father that the so called 'tribute' was ok to take place, Mitch Winehouse slams the collection, claiming the show to be 'distasteful'. i say it's 'not surprising' as personally, i reckon it is way too soon for something like this to happen, and it is clearly just for publicity for gautier and his collection (which is exactly what we are giving him). if the clothes aren't gonna be sold, then the collection is just for media attention and is a kind of ad campaign for the label. therefore, using someone as iconic as amy is gonna get him attention whether its good or bad. and as Mitch rightfully said, the show didn't even portray Amy in the iconic way that she should be remembered- instead the models stumbled down the catwalk, fag in hand and nipples out. whatever gautiers intention was in doing this show, hes obviously got the publicity that he wanted and probably needed, in a tacky and disrespectful way.

highlight your best bits

just on a whim, and with the urge to buy something- but didn't know what- i picked up this higlighter from the make-up section of topshop. i don't usually buy make-up from retailers, i stick to what i know. however, with running out of my high-beam and being too lazy to order any, i took a risk.



and it paid off-

shade:sunbeam, it says on the website £9 but in the store it was £10 which is odd.
i think one of the most important parts of your make-up should be to add a bit of a shine to your cheekbones, it definitely makes all the difference and is something that all celebrities and models do. not that this will make you look instantly like you've just walked from the catwalk, but it's the closest we will get.

apply over bronzer and under blusher. it works really well with the MAC prism blusher i told you about in a recent post.
