It’s that
time of year when you get on your new, warm PJ’s, get on the Strictly bus, and talk about who’s
going into the jungle. If summer bodies are made in winter, then surely winter
means January? And yet, at the same time, stores and online start to fill with
evening looks. Yep, just as you are sticking your feet in fluffy socks, you are
also wondering about what to put them in when party season gets here. We are
trying to avoid the festive word and the other word, but you know what we mean:
December-ish.
So, here at Team Fake Bake, we got a huge dose of
inspo when we checked out all of the looks at the Emmy Awards. OK, so they are not as out there as the VMA’s, but we spotted stuff that was a
bit more wearable. Well, if you’ve got a Tom
Ford budget they are. However, as we live in times where everyone who is
anyone quite likes something that won’t cost the same as a car, we are taking
our style queues and trawling our fave sites to find the good hauls.
This year’s
Emmys were dominated by the girls, although Billy Porter did help steal the show when he won for his role in Pose. Which we adore. Phoebe-Waller Bridge swept the board,
as they say, with three wins for Fleabag.
But it was Jody Comer who really hit the
headlines, the front pages and the cover of Variety for her second turn as Villanelle in Killing Eve, beating a
stellar line up including her mate, Sandra
Oh. She also did so in Tom Ford, and
thanked her mum and dad in Liverpool, who she’d left at home as she didn’t
think she’d win. She even made Gwyneth Paltrow stop in her tracks. Honestly,
the words ‘fan’ and ‘girl’ don’t even cover it….
Our other
best looks of the night?
Zendaya in Vera Wang. Emerald green, flowing red hair,
flawless skin.
Jameela Jamil in Monique Lhullier. Warrior woman who speaks up for us
all and never compromises who she is. Sweet victory.
Kerry Washington in Alexandre
Vaulthier. Super-accomplished
and grown up in monochrome.
Ru Paul. About to bring Drag Race to the UK.
Shashay? You bet.
Emilia Clarke in Valentino. Game
Of Thrones legend and SameYou founder.
Smashed it.
And the
beauty looks?
Kerry’s heavy fringe, chunky winged eyeliner
and pink lips made retro a strong game again.
Jameela’s burnt sienna lip needed very little
else. We are now definitely re-thinking getting a fringe.
Emilia’s classic look was made fresh with
defined brows, and glowing, slightly bronzed skin.
Mandy Moore’s take on Cindy C is breathtaking.
Highlights and bronzer? 2019 is all over it. Keep it subtle.
Jodie’s neutral and gold-toned look is
heavenly. Heavy sculpting is over. Bringing out your natural beauty? In.
We asked our
Global Creative Consultant James
Harknett for his tips and he did more than that: check out his Insta @jamesharknettofficial for his
latest tutorials. As well as looking at transitional tanning, as we move from
hot to cold outside, we loved James and
his take on using Fake Bake Flawless Coconut Serum as a facial tanner. If
you are super-busy and already getting ready to tan all over for a night out,
it’s a fresh choice.
James
suggests using our Coconut fave as it
has a guide colour. Mix it with a dash of your moisturiser, and use an
inexpensive cosmetic sponge to mix, and you can see where you are applying your
tan. James gets his whole face done in less than a minute, and we love that he
is using one product to multi-task.
So if you
are starting to feel the chill in the air, and are having one of those
miles-away-from-summer weeks, start planning something that is all about
getting your besties out and about, wearing something fabulous, that doesn’t
involve anything flannel and fleecy.
Oh, and if
anyone is getting on your nerves this week, look at this pic of Jodie and
channel it to the max, and repeat It’s My
Moment.
If winning
an Emmy means acting a little more than extra, give it your best shot. And if
you don’t have to be in Tom Ford to
do it, either.
