Charlie XCX Rocks Vogue Australia
For us Australians, Brat Summer is just beginning!
Charli XCX is photographed for this month's Vogue Australia September edition right in time for Spring, snapped in florals and a stunning minimal makeup look characterised by sweeping strokes of soft pastel and glossy lips of powder pink. Only the faintest shadow of her signature smoked-out fox-eye remains. The look was flawlessly executed by makeup artist Kennedy (@kalikennedy) of the Streeters Agency.
In contrast to her public image as the antithesis of the 'Clean Girl' aesthetic, and usually known for her smoky kohl eyeliner, Brat-star Charli XCX wears this fresh, glowy look like it was made for her.
We see more of her iconic pop-goth influence come out within the article, in block colours featuring high texture and wind-blown attitude.
I’m so here for it.
PS... If you haven't yet learned the Apple dance, here's a link to the tutorial I used that made learning it a breeze.
Who Ya Gonna Call??
I totally get it - sometimes it hard to get a hair and makeup artist at the last minute! We can’t be in two places at once unfortunately, but I can give you some names of people that might be able to help.
Here are some hair and makeup artists from the Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula area that I highly recommend! Just click on the names to see their websites.

Get the Vibe! (Why Wedding Morning Music Is Important)
One of the best things you can do on the morning of your wedding is have a great playlist running in the background.
Once everyone is out of bed, the smell of fresh coffee is in the air and the hair and makeup team have arrived, it's common for our clients to stop and wonder, "Wait... what's missing?"
The answer is simple - a killer playlist to set the right atmosphere for the day ahead. I'm a huge believer in setting the vibe for the day you want by playing the right tunes.
The power of music is that it can calm people in busy situations, energize them on early mornings, and bring them together with a sense of excitement ahead of the big day. And the great thing about pop music is that it inspires HAPPINESS, which is what you want on the morning of your wedding.
If you're lost as to which playlist to choose - I've got you COVERED.
I've put together a playlist of some of my favorite pop tracks that I think would be perfect for a morning of hair and makeup to go with your coffee and croissants!

The best part is, it's family friendly - which means you can play it in front of Grandma.
Hope you enjoy my choices. Let me know if I've missed any of your favorite bangers at gslmakeup@outlook.com!
Til next time….
