The GF Beauty Book!

Once Upon A Time... There was a girl with too much to say. So she wrote this beauty book.

A couple of months ago I told you guys about my little issue with overdoing, err, everything, and the consequent grief it causes my beloved chief sub-editor, Kat. Well this month it peaked. So overwhelmed with things to say, tips to share, and just general beauty greatness was I that I’ve filled a whole extra section – a beauty book of all the good stuff – just for you.

But it wasn’t just me and my mountains of words, I also had massive help from my “dream team” of magic makers (not to be confused with magic markers – we didn’t colour in the pages): superstar snapper, Steven Chee; beautifying genius (i.e. hair and makeup artist), Budi Juspandi; very pretty thing, model Kirsty; and GF’s newest rave-worthy addition – junior editorial and beauty assistant, Lauren.

I’ve been living and dreaming this book for months. Literally. Just ask Kat, who not only gets to edit my copy but also gets to hear all about my whack dreams/nightmares in which no one turned up to my shoot (worst.nightmare.ever); or the model rocking up with a mohawk (which I’m sure Budi could make look awesome) or my photographer suddenly having no arms. (Seriously. Yet in the dream, Steven just shot with his feet and still made it magical.)

But I only got to do it coz of you guys. Because of your emails, your feedback, your questions, and – like extras from Oliver Twist – you are always asking for more. So here it is. Read. Enjoy. Rave about how it’s, like, totally better than Zac Efron in swimmers (and more interesting to talk to as well). And most importantly, get inspired and get playing. Find new favourites coz that’s what beauty is all about.

Lotsa love and orange lipstick!
