Add a foundation but keep cheeks simple before adding a gloss to lips.

Emma Watson likes natural beauty

By emilyborrett on September 21st, 2011

The Harry Potter actress Emma Watson has admitted that in the past she’s worn far too much makeup – so now, it’s all about the natural look for her. (Though it’s extremely easy to say you prefer natural beauty when you yourself have one of the most perfect faces in Hollywood, eh Emma?)

Emma said: “The funny thing about me is that I do have a lot of products – I’ve always loved make-up and its ability to transform you. But I don’t actually wear a lot of it, so there is an irony that I own so much of it but wear so little. But I do love beauty products. But wearing too much make-up has been my biggest beauty faux-pas. I truly, truly believe that beauty is something that comes from within. You can only really look beautiful if you feel beautiful on the inside. It shows through your face, the way you move and the way you hold yourself.”

Aww, all together girls – YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

And Emma’s best tip for outer beauty (the inner bit we’ll have to figure out ourselves)? “Don’t over-pluck your eyebrows and always take your make-up off before you got to bed.” Sound advice indeed.

ShinyStyle’s new editor

By Andrea Petrou on August 14th, 2009

andrea.jpgHi fellow fashionistas

I’m Andrea, the new editor of ShinyStyle. As a girl obsessed with all that glitters, sparkles, or even just has zips or buttons, I’m looking forward to bringing you all the news on the latest fashions.

And it’s not just clothes. Oh no, we’ll be talking about everything from bags, shoes, make up and accessories from the highstreet to high end.

Let’s admit it, we all love a bit of Primark (yes, I hold my hands up, my top in this picture is one such creation) as much as we adore Anna Sui and coo over Chanel.

I’ll also be bringing you the latest on celeb trends, which although look great most of the time, will sometimes also have an (almost gratifying) element of “what was she thinking?”

But who am I to judge? I’ll let you into a little secret, I too have made mistakes in the past. Think multi coloured tights teamed with a similar style dress, and no I wasn’t going to a 70′s club night. Oh dear.

I would love to hear more about you too so please get in touch via our comments and let me know about your favourite outfit, whether it’s Primark or Prada, and your worst fashion mistake. Come on, don’t be shy, we’re all fashion friends now.
