Just
in time for Christmas, our SS16 collection is finally here! Inspired by
designer Nica Kim’s travels, the collection has been created around the idea of
motion and fun. Designed for the girl who’s always on the move, it’s a stylish yet
practical collection.
To help you understand the feel of our collection that little bit more, we caught up with our product shot's make-up artist Cuneyt to explain a little further.

Describe the make-up look for our SS16 shoot?
For the SS16 collection, we opted for a natural look with extra clean skin and defined eyes which we achieved with a brown smokey effect.
Do you have any tips for girls at home trying to recreate the shoot’s look?
For me, the skin is the most important thing. So, they should use foundations that are the perfect match for their skin tones, and define the cheeks bones with a little bronzer. If they are going out, they can add easy and simple smokey eyes or eye liner. I prefer to keep lips natural, and often use lip-glosses of the same colour.

Where do you source inspiration for shoots?
I'm always researching - from different colours and fashion trends to different looks that I stumble upon. I used to work with M.A.C, so I still always visit their stores for new ideas and to snap up new products. Then, I usually discuss the model's make up needs with the designer before the shoot begins, and do a few trial runs if time permits.

What’s your favourite kind of look to create?
I absolutely love smokey eyes. If you define the eyes, they speak for themselves.
Why did you become a make-up artist?
It’s my absolute passion. I love colours and seeing how I can totally transform a face by simply mixing them up.
What have been your career highlights to date?
After I finished my accounting degree at University, I realised that it wasn't my dream to pursue a career in this area. After 5 interviews I got offered the job at M.A.C as they believed that I had a talent for make-up. That was around 11 years ago, and their great training has allowed me to go on to become a pro make-up artist, and I decided that London was the place to build my career. I love my job! If I was born again, I would be a make- up artist again... And again and again!
