It’s hard to
think back to when Jodie Comer was
kind of seen as the second best actress in Doctor
Foster. Now, as we await for the return of Killing Eve to BBC1 next month, the best Scouse-born screen
assassin in history has written her own place in time. Recently awarded a BAFTA for her performance on the show,
looking super-tall and even more chic than ever in Stella McCartney, she probably wouldn’t like to be called a role
model, but a role model she most certainly has become for young women
everywhere. And when she goes home she rocks up to stay with her mum and dad in
her usual bedroom. Our kinda gal.
Ten years
ago, it’s unlikely Killing Eve would
have ever been made. But now, thanks to the wit of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and a stellar cast also including Sandra Oh and Fiona Shaw, it’s a
storyline filled with intrigue, an odd sense of romance and a few blood
chilling moments. And, of course, the first season also made Jodie Comer into a real star, and Villanelle’s wardrobe created our
favourite TV visual of the year, with that pink Molly Goddard dress.
But what
about Season 2? Well, Jodie is working with the same amazing stylist: Elizabeth Saltzman. Together, they have
put together a wardrobe that is chosen to reflect the way Villanelle shops, so there are designer names, vintage finds and
and online arrivals. Whether it’s Armani,
Louis Vuitton or Hermes, our fave hitwoman has expensive tastes but she
does have a well paid job…..
This season
is already showing in the US, so we have been trying to avoid spoilers, but we
have definitely been catching up on some of the stills and images that have
been released to showcase Villanelle’s wardrobe
and this one is, hands down, the best of a very stylish bunch.
The shirt,
by Rosie Assoulin, has already been
a bestseller in America. The pink Kafka
ballgown skirt is by William Vintage and those huge, doorknocker earrings
are vintage Christian Lacroix. In
real life, as well as on screen, Jodie herself often sports her own, gorgeous,
translucent skin but she’s not against rocking a golden glow, and we absolutely
adore this look below. So, the question we often get is this - how do I adjust
my make-up when I’ve used a self tan? (We are assuming Ms. Comer is not a huge
sunworshipper, not with a face that is now worth millions of dollars!)
First up whether you get a pro Fake Bake tan, or use one of our specialist self tans at home, let it do
it’s magic before you load products on top. You don’t want them to interfere
with your finished tanning look and ruin your hard work. If you are in a rush,
though, you can use our Fake Bake 60
Minutes Tan, shower off after an hour, and get to work with your brushes.
Secondly, your skin should be looking fabulous
so go easy with the foundation. And remember to dial your shade up a little to
avoid a chalk-like disaster.
Thirdly, if you find it hard to use bright
blushers when you are pale, you can certainly go to town with them now, and
highlighters will really show up when you are going golden.
Last of all, step away from neutrals and go for a
bright lip. Reds and oranges look gorgeous against freshly tanned skin, whether
you for a statement matte or something more glossy and fresh. Getting spot on
make-up to work with your tan has come such a long way in a few short years.
And with new, light formulations like our Fake Bake Tanning Water around for
summer, you can have the best of both beauty worlds without your skin feeling
heavy. Sorted.
Next week,
we’ll be catching up with our fave MUA
Stacey Toner who will be giving her top pro tips after her last hugely
successful Masterclass. We can’t
wait...
Roll on
June. And as Villanelle sits looking
out over Amsterdam, all dressed in pink, writing a love letter to Eve, a young
girl who is admiring her outfit asks can she take her pic to post to her Insta.
Our assassin says that she can’t and replies….
“Don’t be
pathetic. Go get a real life.”
Wise words
indeed. So close this down, and get out there and live a little. Put a ballgown
skirt on to do it though, would ya?
