Frida Kahlo @vamuseum London


Excited for the press preview of Frida Kahlo exhibition at the V&A. . . . . .

Frida Kahlo @vamuseum London. Frida was a unique style icon with her monobrow which she enhanced with makeup, red lips and flowers in her hair. Even with lifelong ill health and adversity she remained extraordinarily stylish in her image.

Frida was beset by health problems throughout her life from contracting Polio as a child to injuries sustained in a car accident which affected her to her early death.
However she remained stoic and stylish all through her pain…

1933 Self-portrait Frida Kahlo exhibition Making herself up @vamuseum London. Frida's mono-brow and facial hair were not the beauty norms even at that time. She used an eyebrow pencil in Ebony to accentuate her brows and Revlon '"everything's rosy" lipstick  and red nail varnish.

A blend of Banana pulp and liquid fruit extracts for intense conditioning.
Smells delicious! 
Feels great even on the skin too.
Coincidence that my sweater was matching the product!

My Summer haircut and colour at Real Hair Chelsea London

My Summer haircut and colour at Real Hair
Chelsea London.

Thank you @andyatreal and @chanelnott @realhairlondon 
Shorter and blonder! 
Loving it
However this is a no-makeup selfie with no filters. 
Be warned! 
My usual basic makeup is Laura Mercier nude tinted foundation, Nars orgasm blusher, and most importantly eyebrows darkened with pencil or dye as they make such a huge framing difference to the face and last but not least some mascara.
Hopefully not looking too bad for a sixty year old with no makeup standing together with my Thai-boxing superfit hairdresser Andy!
