Smile to Success & Top Celebrity Make-Up Tips!


Collecting her trophy at this year’s Glamour Awards the nation’s favourite singer and XFactor judge, Cheryl Cole thanked her orthodontist, crediting him for her knock out smile and the role its played in her climb to the top of the charts.
New research released today by the makers of INVISALIGN®* reveals that 69% of Brits agree a quality smile is key to success in your working life. The following high-flying women also have a lot to thank their great smiles and dentists for.

Make-up artist and beauty coach to the stars Lina Cameron has worked with many of the women above and shares her insider tips on how to achieve the perfect smile to help propel you to that next high point in your career.
“Your smile is an introduction to your personality and having straight white teeth is critical to having the confidence to smile broadly. I recommend the Invisalign treatment to any of my clients who are conscious of their teeth. It is a virtually invisible straightening treatment which is perfect for my clients who won’t consider traditional fixed brace techniques which only draw attention to the problem in the first place.With a dazzling smile your makeup possibilities become endless!”

Get Scarlett’s luscious Lips
I love working on Scarlett as she simply has the best modern face for make-up - she can carry any look with glamour and ease! The look is very old school glamour with a splash of innocence especially when sporting a swept up hairstyle. A bee stung pout really helps but if you are not blessed with such full lips, try out a lip plumping product then really lather the gloss on top as you want lots of shine, pick a pink or red for a look just like Scarlett’s.

Perfect your smile
I often see some of my celebrity clients taking drastic measures to get the perfect smile but my motto is to work with what you have. Veneers for example can be a very painful and evasive procedure. In some cases they can give a real horsey appearance and everyone ends up looking the same. To enhance your smile I recommend a virtually invisible straightening techniques such as Invisalign, to deliver a red carpet worthy smile without anyone knowing your undergoing treatment. The aligners do not affect your lifestyle and are also completely removable, allowing you to take them out for special occasions.

Copy Jennifer’s effortless look
Jen is the archetypal Californian girl and looks fabulous with a sun kissed and relaxed make-up look. She knows her style and works it beautifully for all occasions. Think earth tones for the eyes, lots of brown liner, neat brows and beiges with a touch of shimmer to catch the light beautifully. Make sure you use a specific face self tan and make sure you self tan for body is golden not orange otherwise you will fail the look. Her smile is picture perfect and a great example of how investing in your teeth can set off your whole face.

Mask stains

My top tip for discoloured teeth is to use a nude lipstick or gloss, it’s always a safe bet as it neutralises the mouth and smile unlike yellow based pigments found in many pink lipsticks. If the stains are very noticeable I will also dramatically define the eyes to draw attention away from the mouth and contour the cheeks so people will be directed to the top half of the face.

Invisalign Background

Invisalign is a clinically recognised, virtually invisible orthodontic treatment that can straighten teeth in both adults and teens, and doesn’t involve painful surgery or the embarrassment and inconvenience of traditional fixed braces.

Whether you need minor improvements or more extensive adjustments, the series of clear, custom-made and removable aligners can successfully straighten your teeth by applying doctor-prescribed pressure on different teeth at different times.

Each aligner in the series is manufactured specifically for your teeth, and as you replace each aligner, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position prescribed by your dental practitioner. With no metal wires or brackets, there’s no need to worry about mouth irritations, as the aligners are comfortable to wear and can be easily removed for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing as normal – giving you the flexibility to easily live an active lifestyle.

Unlike other dental straightening techniques, Invisalign uses unique computer software which generates a start-to-finish virtual 3D treatment plan to complement professional judgment. This technology demonstrates the series of movements the teeth are expected to go through to get from their current position to the desired final position. This allows you to view your own virtual plan and see how straight your smile should look once the treatment has been completed.

DIOR HOMME S/S 2010 Menswear: Kris Van Assche's Finest

Nothing quickens the pulse of this season's fashion-frenzied Spring/Summer 2011 Menswear like the electrifying buzz created by DiOR HOMME. No other event brings on as much juicy gossip, fashion industry sniggering and celebrity sighting stories.
Presenting Kris Van Assche, the new kid at Dior's Box, armed with the anointed "shoe"to fit in. Following the Dior Homme diktat, he piously fitted himself to every do's and don't's with great caution. Amidst great expectations that run high, did Assche brings the much needed dose of freshness after the dismal short love affair of Hedi Slimane at Dior? There is this 'schizo feel' of this guy's collection, to which direction he navigates...



His style mantra for the spring can be best described, as less is definitely more. The essential forecast for the year is simplicity in terms of silhouette and colour palette with most designers avoiding much ornamentation or adornment. Free flowing djellaba, cloak billowy tops in sheer fabrics, robes, kaftans with extreme volumes paired with slim trousers is the defining look of the season.

Volume has been the big discovery on the runway, this year. Designers like Damir Doma exploited volume to its fullest with harem pants that looked like they couldn't get any bigger. Kris Van Assche showed a stunning black kimono robes with low slung buttons down closing on long shirts in the usual chiaroscuro monochrome with a hope to become a big trend.


Inspired from a Korean movie of four seasons, his Buddhistic chant of 'living with less makes the quality bigger", denotes the essence of Dior Homme's gravity of luxury transcends when less is more. So every season we see the usual Dior: impeccable couture finish, palette's sea of black and precision of detailing.


Kris Van Assche 'show at Dior exploded with bold, oversize daring silhouettes. Especially the detailed suits with asymmetric lapels that fashion commentators could not stop raving about, the oversize t-shirts that looks comfortable and relax, the deep V-necklines give the "raw edge feel".

Wearable and relax, is how I would summarized the collection. The focus remained on comfort and the loose 'flowy' look seemed to be highly liberating. It seemed to me that with a few key additions to the wardrobe it would not be too hard to get your 'Sexy Back'.

DAMIR DOMA: Breathable Clothing -SS' 2010/Menswear



Damir Doma is one of the talented and elusive designers in Paris that seems to be 'outside' the style box waiting to 'get in'. His concept sets no boundaries and limitations, getting away from stereotypes that bear obstructions to the norm.

His design techniques are personal synthesis of his pure vision and creativity, transforming each wardrobe that breathes, that moves into individualistic nuances..that inspire.

Damir Doma's 2011 Menswear Collection never fails to delight from tailoring essential and construction to the intellectual and poetic look that inspires others, who faithfully watch his show season after season.

Doma's sheer indulgence of fabric in every outfit sometimes draws away the very focal point of the silhouettes, the attention to details and the simplicity that get lost in volume.

The palette is black, shades of grey and beige, the use of large blankets as shawls look inappropriate for the season's core, but in a way that wouldn't clash with the over-all concept. Damir's work shows us once more that first impressions are deceiving - underneath the layers of precise fabric manipulations, hide the stronger visual statements. The general silouhette can almost become a secondary concern while volumes and cut, often verging on the oversize, are put in the spotlight.

It is all about an artful mix of layers, loose but cleverly adorning a body that is all wrapped up and gives way to another Doma's plays and tricks enticing audience to enter his own dreams where he is the master..

DSquared2 SS' 2010/ Let's Hustle!

The brand DSquared2's  combination of art and commerce in their corporate and design philosophy is their strongest value proposition.  The brothers Dean and Dan, have distinct personalities and sense of personal style, until recently in their Spring/Summer Collection where they  played so "tamed"without any provocations.  Known for their  flamboyant and loud kind of fashion, a new foray into clothing genres is coming.   Inspired from the 80's American Gigolo's man of great taste, Richard Gere as Julian, acts as their key moments for inspiration. Surely the duo showcased some very sexy resort clothing with  hot skimpy trunks,  but their new menswear line is a gamble to the Dean and Dan's  usual edgy looks.Maybe there is this kind of  strategy,  to go more on the subdued men's collection where the consumers  can look chic and relaxed at the same time.DSquared’s wardrobe comprises mostly on loud color tops, like red, purple and summer blue and green.The double breasted jackets are adorable like the golden yellow leather paired with slim jeans. 




 A warm blend of formal urban wear like the colored coats and jackets with narrow lapels and relax fit waistlines. Sleek casual shirts paired with jeans in a soothing medley of mossy green, aqua blue and mustard with flecks of fuchsia in clean patterns.Keen and youthful detailing is evident in his flash of skin in button down shirts with high waisted trousers with burgundy footwear.The Catens , just have some fun!
