Icon: Jane Birkin
A look at Jane Birkin is more than enough to understand why Hermès named a bag after her. The English born, French icon is a timeless beauty; distinctly sexy and forever chic.
You may have never watched a movie starring Veronica Lake, but surely is aware of her famous hair. The wavy blond, side-parted do, covering one eye, is still synonymous of ‘Hollywood glamour’. A sultry classic.
At first sight, purple eyeshadow can be a little over the top, especially the bright violet tones. However, if we choose more subdued hues, like aubergine or plum, the result can be more subtle and a great option from the so predictable black smoky eye. Wish List Nars Matte Eyeshadow – Daphne Dior…
When in doubt, choose red! Even with all the trends and tons of colours to pick, red nail polish always makes a statement. It is classic, chic, feminine and a great self-esteem booster! Some suggestions… – Come to Bed Red, Butter London – Dragon, Chanel – Jungle Red, Nars – Red, OPI – Revlon Red,…
Karen Elson’s flaming hair (aka my favourite redhead) forced me to make an exception to the usual black & white pictures of this section. But the combination of her red strands with porcelain skin deserves to be admired in bright colours! And what’s to say about the kind of innocent rock’n’roll attitude? ❤❤❤
The doll face, the cat eye with big lashes, those bangs… It’s easy to see why she got the title of the world’s first supermodel. Jean Shrimpton was David Bailey’s muse and one of the most famous faces of the Swinging London era. A 60s icon that is still trending!
Besides being a classic beauty, (Metropolitan Museum nominated her as the face of the 20th century) and having a striking smile, Christy Turlington-Burns managed to use her celebrity status to charity, when she founded Every Mother Counts. The unforgettable face of Eternity fragrance, yogi and original supermodel is remarkable in every way.
