I was really excited to see these images of Cheryl Cole when I finally got my hands on a copy of UK Elle. It was a great job and, despite being right in the middle of X Factor madness, Cheryl looked incredibly beautiful as always!

I decided to create this ‘lived-in’ smoky eye for the shoot – my aim was for it to look like it had been on for a long time, smudgy and imperfect. I paired this with strong brows, sculpted cheeks and a pale lip.

I hope you like the pictures – Iove to know what you think!
