Bronzed goddess

When Federico Fellini cast Claudia Cardinale in his masterpiece ‘8 1/2’ (circa 1963) it cast an international spot light on her, and her curves. Soon the French speaking, African raised Italian girl became every man’s fantasy. With her glossy dark hair, feline eyes, tanned skin and ample bosom she could well be the poster girl for summer: Brigitte Bardot meets Giselle, perhaps? Get Claudia’s look with liquid-lined eyes care of Lancôme’s Artliner, burnished skin thanks to a generous application of Estee Lauder’s Bronze Goddess, and a peachy-nude lip such as NARS’ lip gloss in Giza. Complement your make-up with a 60's style headband - cheating your hair off your face - and make the most of your “assets” by lathering your body in a rich moisturizer such as Nivea Body’s Nourishing Care Lotion for very dry skin.

Best of beauty

I’ve been a make-up artist for the better part of a decade now: working in the fashion industry, on television commercials, music video clips and as a beauty advisor. I'll be taking this opportunity to comment on beauty in a conventional sense but also discuss how it can be found in the everyday and the seemingly mudane.
