Belle de Jour - Behind the Scenes

Model Emily G and International Makeup Artist April Greaves

Emily G was fresh off a plane from the Greek Islands, jetlagged and still looking amazing - some things just aren't fair!

Pretty blooms to get us in the Spring mood

Organised chaos!

Belle de Jour is all about the 1960's contoured eye, made fresh and wearable!

We were lucky enough to get our hands on the 'A Team' for our Belle de Jour colour collection campaign shoot. Not only did New York-based international makeup artist April Greaves design the collection, she also flew to Melbourne from the Big Apple especially for the shoot! We had photographer extraordinaire Marnie Haddad behind the camera lens, Andrew Gough had all digital operations covered on the day and gorgeous model Emily G from Vivien's Model Management worked her best 1960's film starlet impersonation Superstar stylist Alex Zabotto-Bentley even popped in to lend a hand!

We're pretty chuffed with the results, we think the A Team nailed Catherine Deneuve's sophisticated 1960's chic to perfection!

Wow I wish I could look like that jet lagged! She obviously loves what she does. Everything is organised! It's a lovely photo :)

The shot of Emily G and the pretty blooms is an unusual side/rear shot that captured my eye immediately!

Well, I simply love Emily G and her gorgeous looks. I hope we can somewhat make a resemblance of her beloved make-up on her face along with my kentucky cosmetology license team.
