SIMPLY FLAWLESS, SIMPLY

GORGEOUS

Taneil - my most body confident model to date. She doesn't care what you think of her, she's proud of her curves and she is more than happy to tell you how great she feels in her own skin. It was an easy choice for me to choose her as a feature - even more so when she suggested we do a bikini shoot!

The idea behind the bikini shoot, is not to flaunt a gorgeous body (although it does that too) it's to send a message. A message to all women out there that a bit of self love and inner confidence boosting can sometimes be the best way to feel amazing. I've known this girl for what seems like forever and this shoot is most definitely my most hard-hitting to date.

How did I create such a flawless look though? You may remember in mid November Taneil was featured in the Sweet, Sugary, Sailor shoot and I told you the make-up would be featured in the magazine - well this is that shoot. I kept the same soft, sultry look but changed the eyeliner to purple and the lip to a more glossy shade of burnt peach.

For the hair we both felt keeping things a little straighter than usual for The Glamour Suite. We played with poker straight but felt that it didn't really work so to get this look ladies, run your figers through with some mousse and toss some natural bed-hair look that just adds to the effortless sex appeal of the shoot.

Like I said eaerlier this is a shoot all about promoting body confidence and loving the skin you're in and what better way to do that than a fabulous bikini shoot flaunting some of the best curves I've personally ever seen,

This is one of the reasons why I love to do what I do, I love to promote self-esteem (more on that later in this issue). As I am sure you will agree Taneil looks absolutely fabulous in a bikini this winter, without photoshop and without perfect lighting.
