Lily Allen for Glamour
Saturday 14th Mar 2009 11:20am - Comments - Back to the blogI’m VERY happy to see how nicely my new Glamour cover of Lily Allen has turned out. I’ve worked with Lily before including another Glamour cover about a year ago, I think (time flies!) The best thing about working with Lily is that she loves fashion, hair, make-up and everything connected with dressing up. I can see why designers love her as she has a genuine passion for the clothes.
On a make-up note, all the inspiration photos the creative director brought to the shoot were of a young Bridgette Bardot. As I’ve always done Lily with bright lips previously I decided to go for a very pale lip and skin (only a touch of peachy blush and shimmery highlighter on her face. On her eyes I did a very restrained ‘kitten eye’ black liquid eyeliner (by Mac) and lots of feathery individual eyelashes to give a flirty eye that had a certain lightness to it. I think she looks extremely pretty, fresh and very young in the shots, which were definitely finished off perfectly by the unbelievably cute bulldog puppy. We all had a little cuddle of him and both Lily and I could have quite happily taken him home (not sure what my cat would have made of that!).
