Katy Perry GHD advertisement campaign

Hey all these pics are courtesy of http://www.sugarscape.com/ so all rights reserved. Ok so i discovered that Katy Perry has done this GHD campaign and i wanted to know what you think. I personally think her hair is awesme but they have over done the photoshop. I dont know i just think it looks really fake, and shes super pretty anyway so i dont know why they neeeded to edit them so much. But hey its up to them i guess.

Right, this is the first out of the 3. I personally think she looks very fake. Dont get me wrong i like katy perry its the editers and what not. Her makeup is very 80's inspired. Keeping in trend with this seasons aray of rainbow makeup.The outfit is your average super tight lycra ensamble. I think its a cool picture and i want to ump into those doughnut thing behind her but i can't... sooo next pic.

This one is my least favourite. I quite like the dress which is a 40's inspired, chiffon, beige/pink number. Its very elegant and ruffley and cute. I dont know why i dont like it i just i dont know. Mabye the way its been taken? the hair is for 1930's house wife kinda style.

This one is probably my favourite. I dont understand the whole plastic wrapped chaise lounge but then thats life i guess. But its random like me which can only be a good thing.  I love her hair on this one and she looks more natural. The whoile braid across the head thing is in fashion, i personally can't pul them off but she totally can . I like the soft lighting, and the blend of nudes and browns for the outfit.

OH! i totally understand the hair now. i just got it. there are like different styles, curly, super curly and wavy because its GHD'S isn't it. so its like shwoing you what you can do. oooooh i get it. sorry just wanted to add this bit onto the end.

The o'natural beauty look

This o'natural look was featured in the Greena constantine show. It was inspired by winter, you know what im talking about-red faces, flushed, excited. Its supposed to be natural. Later on in the post i will show you how to get this look. By show i mean tell. The products used are mac and i got the information from the site below.Photography by : Jenna Marie Wakani

I think it gives a pure appearance to the face, delciate beauty.
Eyes
Although this model is wearing quite a reddy eyeshadow do not be worried about "not being able to pull it off" red eye shadow is extremley hard. Rather than going for a solid red go for a close alternative like rust, dark orange or a neutral pastel. It will give the same effect xxx This particular model is wearing:

• M.A.C eye shadow in "coral"
• M.A.C eye shadow in "orange"
• M.A.C eye shadow "sushi flower"
• M.A.C mineralize skin.

Lashes are left bare to again give it that soft, "fleshy", natural look.

Hair
The hair has been tyed into a low pigtail to give a "bob" appearance from the front. It is tucked under and then a scarf has been wrapped around to make it look like the models are wearing lots of layers. Really capturing the winter essence of bundling up and getting cosy.

Nails

• Filed into a soft almond shape
• Black nail varnish
• Top coat of see-through nail varnish

The black has been blended so that it fades up the nail. It starts as a dark black at the cuticles and then turns to see-through/soft white at the tip of the nail. This was intended to give the nail " a flowy look" to match the outfits.
