THE ROUGE REVIEW VOLUME III

Welcome back my lovelies, Ruby Rouge here reporting back with the events of the last two weeks, and what a spectacular two weeks they have been!!!

My little Rougettes have yet again had a busy schedule as they have been working on a new 3D feature film!!! My lovelies do love the life of filming as everyday can be so different from the last!!  With this latest project being no exception!! (and it has most definitely tested their skills as artists!!!) they have also had the opportunity to take along some of their Rougettes in training which has been an amazing opportunity for everyone!!

You may have seen from our last blog post that we also held a Portfolio day for some fellow make-up artists looking to improve their books!! The day brought together Make-up Artists, Hair Stylists, Fashion Designers and Photographers all looking to network and get some great images for their portfolio's!!! A few of the pictures have started to come in and i must say i am very impressed with all of the girlies who took part!!

Also, lets not forget its 'Wedding season' and the girls have been busy preening bridies for their special days!!! In particular our fabulous Bride Emma who was so pleased she booked us to come back the day after her wedding day for the whole So Coco Rouge experience as she was having another wedding soiree with even more friends and family than the day before!!! (and yes ladies she did have a whole new dress for the occasion and yes I was so.... jealous).

This week everywhere we look we have seen the fabulously gorgeous Mila Kunis who has been out and about promoting her new film 'Friends with Benefits' in which she stars along side the equally gorgeous Justin Timberlake!!

Mila always has a fabulous summertime glow and due to her amazing looks and gorgeous skin minimal effort is required!

• For this look i would start with a good Luminous foundation such as Photogenic Lumessence By Lancome all over.
• Compliment this foundation with a light reflective concealor such as YSL's famous Touche eclat under the eyes and along the brow bone.
• Next apply a sunkissed glow along the cheek bones, up the temples and and down the centre of the nose.  I recommend Mac bronzer in Golden.
• Then apply a warm golden brown eyeshadow to the whole eyelid to make your eyes 'pop'! I love Lily Lolos Sticky Toffee Colour.
• Frame the eye with a pencil such as Chanel's Le Crayon Khol and Finish the eyes with a defining mascara such as Lancomes Definicils.
• Finish this look with a natural toned gloss such as Cliniques vitamin C Lip smoothie in Pear-perfection.

SO.....SPOTTED

As i said earlier my rougettes have been filming the last two weeks which has taken them to some interesting locations to say the least! The most memorable being a fabulous Welsh castle ruin set back amongst the hills!!! However unfortunately we are not allowed to give full details!! My ever famous saying come's to mind.....All will be revealed!!!

The girls have also been seen at, The Raddison Hotel Liverpool, Thornton Manor Wirral, Merebrook House Wirral, Ness Gardens Wirral and they spent some quality time in our favourite shop Wigs up North in Manchester!!!! (The Rougettes love the Wig Girls!!!)

Anywho TTFN,

THE ROUGE SCHOOL

Last Sunday saw the first 'Rouge School' portfolio day in which brings together Make-up artists, Hair Stylists, Fashion Designers, Models and Photographers in order to network and obtain quality images for everyone!

We are extremely proud of all our Rougettes who took part in the day and can't wait to go through all the images!!!  All of our girls did a fabulous job and should be extremely proud of themselves!


The day was a huge success and we at the 'Rouge School' can't wait to do more!


Special thanks go to Emma Embery and Bullet for loaning us some fantastic clothes for day!!

THE ROUGE REVIEW VOLUME II

Hey there,


I'm Ruby Rouge and welcome back to my bi-weekly round-up of what my little rougettes have been up to!!!!
The last two Weeks have been super cool and funky as my rougettes have been nationwide representing the company!!  They've also been canoodling with the stars at the latest Marvel comics movie, chatting to media moguls, casting models for the 'Rouge School' portfolio day and doing some prep work for LFW 2012.

Copycat Coco

Last week we were lucky to be invited to the Captain America Premiere which was in aid of North West Cancer Research fund (www.nwcrf.com), which is a charity we at So Coco Rouge hold dear to our hearts and always like to support them in anyway we can.  That is why this week I have decided to dedicate this section to the beautiful Hayley Atwell who plays the lead female role 'Peggy Carter'.

Hayley is a British English rose who shows us that a natural make-up can still ooze glamour on the red carpet.

To recreate this sophisticated natural look just follow my simple steps

• Firstly apply a light tinted moisturiser in your matching shade.  My favourite is Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser as it has beautiful natural glow and of course a good SPF.
• Second apply a nude colour eyeshadow over the whole eyelid.  I think a must have is Macs pigment in 'Naked' which looks amazing with every eye colour.
• Then apply a good coating of mascara.  Max Factors masterpiece max would add a good sense of drama to glam this look up.
• sweep a nice pink toned blush upwards along the cheekbone to really get the feeling of 'The English Rose' look
• and lastly smother the lips in a good gel/balm which would add a natural softness to the lips yet allow them to shine.  I would be lost without my Lucas Pawpaw ointment.  



So.....spotted

Since the last time we spoke the girls have been run off their feet and travelling the country!!! My rougettes have been spotted in Scotland, Manchester, Liverpool and London and of course traipsing the red carpet of the Captain America premiere!!!!

  The rougettes have been feeling a lot of diversity with work as they have been preening brides, Casting models, interviewing with TV execs and mothering models!!!  They have also been very involved in some serious preparation for London Fashion Week 2012 and have fallen head over heels for designs that wont be gracing the catwalks for another 7 months!!!!

Anywho that's enough from me!!! Hope to see you back here in another 2 weeks!!

TTFN,
