Celebrity make-up artist Karen Alder reveals how to achieve the naturally beautiful look of Holly Willoughby.

GET HOLLY WILLOUGHBY’S LOOK

TOOLS

Invest in a few good make-up brushes: a great contour brush for the eyes, try the Kent Definition Socket Line Brush No 4, one for the cheekbones, try new <id Cosmetics Blusher Brush and a great foundation brush – I’m loving Jemma Kidd’s Pro-Pointed Cream Blush/Foundation Brush No 10.

EYES
Using the amazing Benefit Celebutante Palette, cover eyelids with the ivory shade and then with you contouring brush sweep the darker shade in the socket line and blend. This will really open your eyes. A perfect tick is created using the Clarins Eye Liner Pen in Black [01]. Start on the outer corner of the eye and follow the angle of the jaw line, sweeping the brush down towards your lash line to create an elongated angle. Use a hand held mirror looking down, it makes this easier. Now for the tricky bit: take your brush and start on the inner corner your eye keeping it really close to your lash line to meet up with the other line your have just created. If you want to soften the edges of the tick, make it as soft or as graphic as you like by using a softer brush and blending the product to soften the line. Keep cotton buds and eye make-up remover to hand so that you can wipe away any imperfections.

LIPS
Finish the look with a Jessica Rabbit pout, using the award winning Benefit from the Celebutante Palette, one of the little treasures in this little box.

CHEEKBONES
Pat a bit of Benefit Highbeam on to the cheekbones and voila, you’re done.

We don’t know but we really like what we see with the ToyWatch Brand – a brand that has a desire to bring a new philosophy into reality. ToyWatches go beyond mechanical beauty and certainly cannot go unnoticed no matter who’s wrist they’re seen on or what venues they decide to frequent.

The ToyWatch was born of a concept of watch designer and supremo Marco Mayilla from Milan in Italy. Coming up with a large plastic watch which was unlike any plastic watch seen before, even the Swatch, he drew his inspiration from his favourite high quality, well designed and trendy timepieces – and the ToyWatch was born into existence in 2005.

Time warp a few years and the ToyWatch has become a statement of anti-luxury – yet it’s unique style and looks is set to make it a must have accessory and also a functional watch you can use everyday. Toy Watch has been seen taking a grip of wrists in many ‘it’ locations and has also gained celebrity fans such as Clive Owen, Madonna, Katie Holmes, Miley Cyrus and Jessica Alba to name just a few.

You can buy ToyWatch in the UK from online retailer The Dressing Room and prices start at £115. They have more than 30 different styles to choose from in store ranging from fluorescent colors to down-played pieces, sparkly and glitzy ones with stones and Mother of Pearl to en-vogue Winter colours, and everything in between.

Currently The Dressing Room are offering FREE DELIVERY on UK orders of Toy Watches and you can save a further 10% on the ToyWatch sale prices when using the promo code dsuk online.

New In This Autumn At TDF Fashion

Firstly these fitted Calvin Klein Parrot Print undies may not to be to everyone’s taste and many do like to be simple, understated and classic, but not us – these are great and as soon as we’d spotted them we just had to order a pair! They’re priced at a reasonable £14.99 and are available now.

This knitted jacket by Nanny State is finished with leather effect around the two side pockets, large buttons and a classic twisted knit detail down the sides. This is casual enough to wear out and about during the day and chunky enough to keep some of the cold out. The price on this is £63.99 saving you £16 on prices found elsewhere.

These Jack & Jones Branco Blue jeans come in a distressed finish with plenty of additional detailing: extra seems for a more fitted look, buttoned rear pockets and a slimish fit (probably not for those with chunky legs). They’re priced at £69.99 and available now.

What Else Is New In?

There’s new T Shirts from Duck and Cover, Firetrap and Henleys, plenty of knitted jackets/sweaters from Bench and Nanny State, and colourful undies aplenty.

GUESS was founded early in the 1980’s in California and has since become a massive brand with it’s timeless styles and is known as a leading fashion provider worldwide. GUESS stores can be found stocking trendy, young, glamorous and sexy clothing and accessories in more than 80 countries worldwide.

GUESS are soon to launch their e-commerce website for the UK where you can order for delivery direct to your home everything from jeans to T shirts, accessories to watches, and handbags to shoes.

We expect the GUESS UK online store to become an instant hit with many and it should be launching late November/early December 2009. We will update once the store is officially open.

As a result USC approached Pixie and she re-launched the USC womenswear on 1st October 2009 presenting the new diverse range of fashionable items for this season’s collection.

Pixie said “it was cool to work for USC where the clothes look good and are accessible”.

David Douglas, Director of USC, said “We are delighted to be working with someone whom we feel shares our passion for the range”.

USC hopes that Pixie will assist with the new collections – Abandon and Miss Soviet.

The Abandon range has been recreated to the eighties incorporating a fresh, up-to-date funky look. The idea is ‘day-meets-night’ in strong statement pieces. Pixie said “I like that the Abandon range is not too girly and has a masculine energy that makes it quirky”.

The Miss Soviet collection has been designed for the young and stylish with more of a natural look: smart casual meets downtown cool. Check with winter florals in deep colours and black meet skinny jeans, leggings and cable knit. Pixie commented “I loved the use of colour in the ‘Miss Soviet’ range’ it’s really fun”.

USC current focus is mixing oversized checks, winter florals with graphic stripes, black and bright bold colours which equals laid-back and quirky look.

Throughout the collection you’ll find oil-slick finishes infused throughout with blends of inky blue-black on jackets and over-coats with hi-tech fabrics padded to protect and cocoon, while raw indigo denim is inserted into slim fitting industrial jeans.  Soviet offers outerwear with unique branded detailing and contrasting shiny black trims, heavy duty jackets that update the classic duffle coat and lumberjack style coats with waxed patches.

This collection has been partly influenced by painters such as Hockney and Rothco by mixing the collection with blocks of acid colour. Lowry generation over-coats, inspired by musicians, can be matched with cardigans and smart polo shirts for a dramatic twist to the darkly melancholic artist look.

All items are easily wearable, yet every bit high-fashion and we believe the Winter 2009 Soviet menswear collection is certain to be amongst the updates made to many a stylish male’s wardrobe this season.
