Lots of people asked for a quick tutorial on the makeup look that I wore in the “June Monthly Favourites” video, and so here it is. Unfortunately, I did quite a hatchet job of my editing and so when I went to do the voiceover, it all got a little bit crazy! You’ll see what…
This was my “face of the day” the other day. Not today, not yesterday, but just on “a” day. “The” day. What a silly term this “face of the day” is! If I was talking about my true “face of the day” it would probably be brows furrowed and squinting eyes as I try for…
Well this has been a long time in the making! My Tom Ford-inspired beautiful bronzed makeup video on the FOURTH attempt. Yes, fourth. What can I say? I’m a perfectionist! This isn’t (and couldn’t possibly be) an exact copy of the makeup in the campaign image, though I do use many of the same products….
Getting all arty with my montage there… Five glamorous lipsticks, two pairs of very cool sunglasses. You’ve had a sneaky preview of this video already (recent posts on Hollywood Glamour) but this is the Real McCoy, so to speak. It’s quite self-explanatory, really – there are two very bright lipsticks (the YSL Rouge Pur Couture…
A quick and easy little makeup tutorial video here; it’s what I did for the day I went to the polo. This is definitely the LAST polo post! Promise. As usual, the By Terry base is just flawless and glowy, and the Givenchy Mono Shadow paired with the Dior 3 Couleurs Smoky gives a nice,…
I’m back from LA – hurrah! I’m busy collating pictures and video so that I can tell you about my trip, so all of that will be coming to you very soon. In the meantime, I’ve just realised that I posted a very nice makeup video before jetting off, but I didn’t ever embed it…
I originally filmed this video in March 2011, but I had to take it down because of issues with the intro. I was annoyed because it had been my most viewed video EVER, but when I was in LA I found the original video file in my MacBook backup folder! So here it is, re-edited…
I made this video last week and thought you might like it. I just filmed myself silently doing my makeup ready for a different video (the Best of Spring Makeup video) and then decided that I quite liked the way it looked. I was going to keep it silent and just add subtitles, but then…
This is basically the most indulgent video ever. I have had a bit of a mental block when it comes to making videos, so I just thought I’d do one of all the pretty Spring cosmetics that are floating about! These products would look good as still life photographs, with their brighter-than-bright hues and swish…
This video expands on last week’s “how I prepare for a lingerie casting” video. It’s a full-length tutorial for the makeup look, as requested by lots of viewers. Those of you who were asking about the By Terry Cover-Expert, you can get a better idea of how much coverage it gives and how easily it…
I did a written post a while back about how I prepared for a lingerie casting, and once the archives have been rebuilt I shall link to that from this page. But I thought I’d also do a video – mostly because the Youtubers have been naggling for one and I thought that it was…
Oh my God. I mean, seriously, “OMG”. That has to win the prize as one of my worst ever titles, surely? I’m laughing insanely at it even as I type. Sod it, it stays. The reference to Peach Cobbler will probably be lost on many non-US readers but that makes the whole thing even more…
There were lots of requests for information on the makeup I was wearing in the ‘Dozen Red Roses‘ video, so I recreated the look. It’s a very (very) simple daytime ensemble with glowing skin, neutral eyes and a slick of extremely expensive lip-balm. Perfect for castings as it looks natural but still polished and it’s…
OK, listen. I’ll admit right now that I thought this idea was a bit stupid; it’s kind of a YouTube obsession. People show viewers their ‘collections’ of makeup and how they store it. Personally, I cannot think of anything more boring than watching whole minutes of somebody open drawers in their bathroom cabinet, but there’s…
Ha! I look a little bit like I’m sticking my middle finger up at you don’t I? Not intentional. That’s just my lip-gloss-patting pose! A nice little makeup video to round off the pre-Christmas festivities. It makes a change from bloody gift guides and such! All of the products used are listed below the video…
I’m not a habitual red lipstick-wearer, my personal preference being a slick of tinted balm or a nude-ish lip shade, but ’tis the festive season (ugh) and I thought I’d do some jazzing up of my makeup routine. Surprisingly, I am now more than a little bit partial to some red lippie – I am…
I have been absolutely shattered this week (burning far too many candles at all ends!) and so my dark circles have made a bit of an appearance. I thought that I’d do a little video about my favourite cover-ups – with a few extras such as eye creams and highlighters thrown in for good measure….
I made bonfire eyes yesterday; the video below shows how I did it! For those who couldn’t think of anything worse than sitting through a video with someone applying makeup, there are some little close-ups below! Star of the show, I think, has to be Stila’s Collectible palette with its great pinky copper shadow. The…
