La Roche Posay

The Formulation Charter established by La Roche-Posay Laboratoire Pharmaceutique guarantees products with optimum skin tolerance and minimum secondary effects.

Non-comedogenic and purified, La Roche-Posay treatments are designed to avoid saturating the skin with superfluous active ingredients and to deliver their healing action to the very core of the epidermis.

For La Roche-Posay Laboratoire, the formulation stage is anchored in selecting the raw materials to be used. Those raw materials whose intolerance risks (allergies included) cannot be evaluated and those whose tolerance is not optimal are not used.

Each La Roche-Posay treatment is formulated with a La Roche-Posay
Thermal Spring Water base.
.The choice of raw materials is based on rigorous criteria of innocuousness and analytical grade, and knowledge acquired over time.
.A minimum of ingredients is used and unnecessary ingredients are discarded.
.Associations of active ingredients are limited and complex combinations are avoided.
.Only perfumed compositions that do not contain raw materials with known allergy potential are used. .Microbiological purity is ensured by means of hygienic packaging (sterile doses, cannula tubes, etc.) and by preservatives with an optimum balance of effectiveness and innocuousness.
.Microbiological tests are carried out at different stages of production.
.The content of formulas is clearly presented in a complete list of ingredients on the packaging...
.An expiry date indicated on the products ensures their freshness.

If you want to stay young....SPF! Simple sense.

Hollywood has spoken and seen red,,,

There is a man in Hollywood called Drew. He is unusual. Slightly pale. He has distinctive tastes and somewhat unorthadox creative digits. However he is friendly. Do not be alarmed. He also has a good sense of colour and smell. He has shared his love of red for you. Trust him.

The Magnificient Linda Mason

I was in NYC, the weather was horrendous. It was pouring rain, but I was on a quest. A quest to find the Linda Mason shop. I found salvation there creatively one wet and wonderful afternoon, and a vision with yellow orange hair entertained my cosmetic investigations. It was Linda. And she was magnificent. Truly creative. To makeup what Westwood is to clothes. Discover her. x

Old haunts of a make up artist

Terry Barber [Director of Make up Artistry at MAC now]and I used to love the South Molton Drug store [years ago] and many a time we were late back to Selfridges caught up in discount baskets discovering cheap cult make up items which we would risk employment for! Sadly it moved years ago from its original South Molton street location...but here it now rests...go and rummage...credit crunch fun!

Super Seaweed

Kelp (laminaria), a large leafy algae, grows along cold climate coastlines and can bring a healthy glow to skin. Kelp powder has exfoliating properties that make it a great addition to a facial mask. It increases blood circulation and stimulates lymph production to eliminate toxins. It's also a mineral-rich body scrub for removing surface impurities

Random Mutterings....

To get a true idea of my random influences you need to know I lived in Soho for many years. 72 Old Compton Street. The epicentre of creativity then and now with Justin Smith bespoke Millinery now flying the flag for that place. Oh poor Mr Melinek the landlord he never really knew the heartbeat of his building!. So I am a make up artist. I teach it, live it, create it, mix it, paint it and my proudest statement is that I protect the craft by training the next generation to excruciating technical level. They cannot be lazy even if modern production becomes so. High definition is a welcome return to make up that has to be good. This is the time when excellence counts again. And if you aren't going to be excellent at something don't do it. Someone I truly respect once said to me lower the bar! Strive less. She may as well have spoken to me in fluent alien. Chanel got it right when she said 'When I can no longer create then I will be done for' smart she was a true visionary creative. I feel pride when I see novice make up artists triumph. They are the future. If I can be a catalyst for their successes to come…that is a lifetime well spent. Stop reading this and go do it!

Mr Horne Tips n Tricks....When you apply a false lash make sure that you apply it to define and flatter the eye by positioning it to elevate the eye. If you position the lash too far to the edge of the eyelid, and the eye is downturned it will make the eye have a drooped effect. Be sure the lift of the last lash is correct. Generally it is best to move the lash in a few mm from the lid outer edge. Most of my students struggle on this one and then when they realise they are gluing too far over it all makes sense and the eyes improve dramatically.
