Since we are all about the new here, we'd like to draw your attention to a young ingénue who's turning heads aplenty due to her fresh, distinctive beauty. Imogen Newton is a London-based model who's been named as one to watch by UK Vogue, and we couldn't agree more! As well as being the face of Topshop's AW '10 campaign (pictured here), Imogen is to feature in an upcoming Burberry campaign …

Take a look at the latest main fashion story from this January's InStyle magazine, shot by Brendan and Brendan, which features the exquisite makeup mastery of BECCA-sponsored artist Clare Read from Caren Agency. Clare is a stalwart here at Chez BECCA, having been behind one of our very early beauty campaigns, as well as countless fabulous editorials, campaigns and celebrity shoots. Take a look her…
London-based Makeup Artist Wendy Turner recently used BECCA products to achieve this dreamy vintage-inspired look for Volt Café Magazine's latest editorial, aptly titled Day Dreamer. We got in touch with Wendy and asked just how she achieved the look, and what it is about the range she likes so much.
"I love using BECCA; they have the most luminous bases on the market, which always just lo…
The lengthy Goddess of Androgyny herself - Erin O'Connor - has always been a friend and favourite at BECCA Base Camp, and suffice it to say we have a healthy reciprocal love affair going on. Very much a fixture of the 90's anti-fashion movement (as seen here in a recent Oyster Mag spread shot by Brooke Nipar), model and eco-campaigner O'Connor's regal bearing and exquisite alabaster complexion is …

Anyone remotely clued-up about the amount of effort it takes to look effortlessly natural has heard about Balayage by now. A French word for the technique hair stylists use to create that subtle 'grown-out colour with roots' look that is so au courant. But, be warned: it isn't safe to walk into any hair salon and request it, as so few stylists are actually trained in this relatively complicated te…

BECCA-sponsored Makeup Artist Abigail Johnson is responsible for this latest shoot titled 'The Dreaming' for Cooler Magazine, and my, ain't it perty? Shot by photographer Roberto Rubalcava, the aptly titled shoot juxtaposes a bohemian floral backdrop with harder edged laces and leathers... The makeup - all courtesy of BECCA - is equally contradictory... Using Luminous Skin Colour with the Compact …
Groan… Just like they say the only safe sex is abstinence, it seems the only safe tan is, well, abstinence also. A new study has found the main active ingredient found in self-tanning products - Dihydroxyacetone (or DHA to you and me, contained in almost all self-tanners) – increases the level of free radicals generated by up to 180% during sun exposure, causing the photo aging proces…

We hate to show off and drop names (alright, we love it), but our latest devotee happens to be someone who we feel just as fondly of. Marina of Marina and the Diamonds fame is the latest BECCA groupie, and we couldn't be happier to have her on our tour bus of love. With a name like Marina Diamandis (which translates, funnily enough to 'Diamonds' in Greek), this was a gal who was always destined fo…

He may be the world's best known, least pronounceable session stylist... (it's 'Or-bay' for those not in the know) but the good news is that the genius guru to the stars Oribe has just released a new range of products, and they are ah-mazing. With a portfolio stacked full of the biggest names in the fashion and celeb world, including this gorgeous image of Daria shot by Mario Testino for V Mag…

It seems petulance is back in; if this gorgeous editorial in style bible Oyster Magazine is anything to go by. Shot by irreverent photographer Ben Sullivan, known for his artful mix of situational cutaways and authentic fashion portrait style, with hair and makeup by Australian maestro Max May (who is sponsored by BECCA, and uses our products right here), this shoot sums up our new mood perfectly …
We know we’re not supposed to bake in the sun, and now it seems we’re not supposed to fake tan, so if we want to turn our office pastiness into bronze Goddess-i-ness, how exactly can we do it? Well, luckily the BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector in Topaz is the ultimate product for just that. A liquid bronzer in the perfect deep metallic nutty shade, this is a hit with the world’s t…
