{MBFFS Beauty} Melina Martin

This post features the incredibly mesmerising and talented model Melina Martin. I met her on this shoot and was firstly completely captivated by those eyes and further impressed by her presence when she got in front of the camera. The shoot was for hair and make up trials for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Sydney (MBFFS) and Nigel Stanislaus from Maybelline New York Australia was the amazing make-up artist behind the 3 looks featured in this post. I know I certainly picked up some tips and tricks during the trials to try with my own make-up, I hope this post inspires you too.

[Bloody Oxblood] Not Red Not Brown

Oxblood is definitely making its mark this season and although it has been around for longer than some might think, I believe its presence will continue to linger in the future. As you can see in this post, it is a really versatile hue. I love how it can be translated into many forms of fashion, beauty and accessories. 

On the top of my wish list is an oxblood leather jacket, the kind of leather that has that aged, beaten look in a deep rich oxblood tone (not red, not brown), a pair of ankle boots in a slightly lighter earthier oxblood and a bag (I'm eyeing the Alexander Wang Printed Lizard Marion Bag or the Marc by Marc Jacobs Too Hot to Handle textured leather tote)
