This was the scene in my kitchen earlier, when make-up artist Michelle Regazzoli arrived and set up for a magazine shoot I was doing today. And I definitely needed all the concealer I could get first thing this morning!

Michelle has been doing my makeup for the past year, and did my Ibiza wedding makeup too. She’s so talented and precise, and always seems to know exactly the look I want.

For today’s shoot, I knew we’d be in a flower-filled garden in Dublin, so I asked for smoky eyes with girly pink lips and cheeks for a glam summertime look.

It ended up being a gorgeous, feminine look with plenty of lashes šŸ™‚ But typically it’s a Monday, so I’m all done up with nowhere to go now!

As it was an interview and shoot, I only had to choose one outfit for the photo. I went for this bright Coral bandeau bodycon midi dress (ā‚¬73) from River Island

I loved the elegant and on-trend Bardot neckline, and the fact that it comes down to below the knees makes it a great option for weddings.

I kept my accessories simple with just one sparkly statement cuff. I bought this gold-tone multi-beaded cuff (ā‚¬25) a few weeks ago and it’s received so many compliments! I love the bright yellows and pinks in it for summer.

The outfit was finished off with simple nude heels, though gold sandals and a little gold bag like this Embellished Box Clutch from ASOS (ā‚¬47.94) would look gorgeous with it for a wedding or party šŸ™‚
