Caitlin Worthington Photography..such a talent!!
I am just in awe with this series of images create by Caitlin Worthington from Perth.
There is such a innocent femininity in these images but also a hint of a sinister influence also. The make up itself is just..well I think it’s stunning. I love the line above the brows, it adds more drama and originality to the look, rather than being an unoriginal blend of colours around the eyes which...

Don't forget your lines!

This coming year, make sure to clean and cleanse your skin using horizontal or vertical movements, massaging in lines, which is how collagen is constructed which can lift...

Quit clowning around..
Unfortunately, it took me 6years to see these images seeing as they were first published in 2005…but isnt the make up amazing? I love the accentuation of just one main feature, be it the eye make up or the mouth and everything else is pretty simple, I think it’s just great.

The Powers of Retouching
Is photoshop going too far? This is what i’ve been researching these past couple of weeks. I’m doing a project on the dangerous and unhealthy effect that post-production programs such as Photoshop have on our perception and ideals of what is percieved as beautiful and infact “normal”.
We are bombarded with extensively retouched photos of models and celebrities all around...

Deux Boheme
I only recently stumbled upon two fantastically talented photographers whom undergo the alias “Deux Boheme”. Leslie and Ryan have a stunning way of portraying such an elegance and surreal beauty in their images. They pride themselves on their freedom from conventional ideas and traditional notions to pursue their love of Art.
One of my favourite things about these photographers are...

ideals of beauty
“Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can’t put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you’re doing it from a position of correction.” Kevyn Aucoin
I think this quote speaks so much truth. So many people look at themselves in the mirror and just see their...
