I've been looking for quality ranges to use and stock when Luxe moves into a salon and I stumbled upon a fantastic range of products which include, colour, curl, care and control. Organic Colour Systems products are salon exclusive, contain no ammonia or parabens. They are formulated with certified organic extracts and natural ingredients. Fabulous!!!

I recently worked on a photo-shoot with Peter Hirst of Gainsborough Park Photography and a model Chaynelle. We worked on photos for submission to a caribbean themed magazine. We wanted a natural look and emphasise Chaynelle's natural glow and delicate skin. Click Here to view Peter Hirst's website!

I used an oil free primer from Laura Mercier on lightly cleansed skin. I used a shine highlighter on Chaynelle's browbones, cheekbones and down the centre of her nose. I always find it easier to blend highlighter with the pads of my fingers as the warmth encourages the product to glide smoothly and effortlessly. This method ensures that blending is thorough and won't clog with your foundation and powder. I then used a light foundation from Elizabeth Arden blended with a square foundation brush and dappled with a natural sponge. To set the look for the shoot I dusted a finishing powder over the face.

To finish I used a simple coral blush with a deeper bronze high on the temples and a slate shadow on Chaynelle's eyelids with a fine stroke on liner and mascara. And of course lashings of lipgloss. Gorgeous. The photos look amazing and I can't wait to see them in the magazine!!!
