Lisa teaches everything one needs to know on all aspects of make-up application, including solutions to common problems as well as tips and tricks. Each look is illustrated by step-by-step photography, with no retouching. Chapters are organised by facial feature, each starting with an introduction to the area, followed by looks that show it off best.

Pro makeup store The Makeup Armoury is now stocking US brand FreeDryer (RRP £145), the world’s first cordless hair dryer, which can be used whilst working on set or whilst travelling, even when there is no plug socket in sight. This handy little blow dryer lasts for 15 minutes per charge, which is more than enough time to dry and style hair. After use, just pop it in its cordless holder where it will re-charge again in approximately 2 hours, ready for its next use. Loved in the US by many pro artists who use it whilst on set, not only for hair, but also for drying latex when doing special effects make-up, the FreeDryer is even safe to use around water and you can take an additional battery with you to extend its running power. Bold in colour and clever in design, what’s not to love?

Marie-Sophie Lockhart has also designed exclusive packaging for the range, and some limited edition patches that will be given away with the purchase of two or more Art Freedom products from the 3INA store in Covent Garden. The collection will be launching on ASOS later this month.

The 2017 Australian Body Art Festival saw around 60 competitors embrace this year’s theme of Wonderland. The colourful community arts event drew approximately 7000 spectators to watch some of Australia’s best body artists, face painters, visual artists and wearable art designers create and parade their masterpieces. Event Manager Danielle Taylor says the theme of “Wonderland” drew a wide range of interpretations across all competition categories and some truly incredible art emerged. “Some artists focused on Alice in Wonderland, others on Winter Wonderland and many on what their own personal Wonderland was, but they were all spectacular,” she explained.
