*I was really disappointed with the Versace powder. It cakes likes crazy. I don't recommend it at all. If you want a powder Stila is still my running fave.

*The Vau Beauty lashes were lovely; an easy second to Ardell lashes.

*I have seen all of these movies and actually own them all too. Our copy of Mean Girls actually belongs to my teenagers. I can't get them to watch The Royal Tenenbaums... *sigh* You can lead a horse...

Fashion Stylist: Marcus Tripp, representation Ford Artists [the clothes he pulled that were Fedexed from the UK to Canada for our shoot, nothing short of AMAZING... for example, the brown leather dress had small strips of leather that had a look of wood veneer. The details in this leather dress are impeccable!]

One of many hair looks for the shoot.

Hair was back-brushed [models LOVE that. No. Not really. Job hazard]. The top section was braided and secured at the crown and the bottom section was rolled into my hand to create a seam; I pinned at the seam.

Nail colour: OPI In My Back Pocket

I love shooting for Seventeen. They are a fun bunch of peeps.

Ok. I love my career. I'm lucky. I know this. Beautiful clothes, beautiful people, creative juices, luxurious fabrics... I was drooling over many things on this shoot *cough* Miu Miu shoes...

Have a look at the head piece made for the shoot by Flowers By Nick. [as soon as I find his details I will link them here]

It's STUNNING!

Hair, Makeup & MINX : Andrea Claire (moi)

Norah assisted me [and beared the walk up and down the treacherous stairs behind Plaza Singapura to get me Starbucks... twice] She was more than a 'cappuccino fetcher'. Norah had the pleasure of holding tissue over our models' faces while I cut the wigs... jealous you weren't assisting me? I kid. She was a HUGE help - the meaningless in the aforementioned is purely self-serving and I appreciate a wicked up & coming artist being on set with me - she learns and I get the extra hands I wasn't born with!

Photographer: Brendan Zhang

We used two wigs on our ladies that I cut on the day. Synthetic wigs are a nuisance for models; not breathable and scratchy - but looks fab!

WIG TIP: If you are working with synthetic hair, use a steamer to help style the hair (just not while it's on the model's head). If you need to cut the hair on the model - make sure their hair is safely tucked into a hairnet! (we had no hair mishap on our set)

This is the Winter 2010/11 issue - should be on the stands soon!
