Art & Makeup - Lan Nguyen-Grealis

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love experimenting with our makeup. To us, makeup is more than a simple daily routine, it’s an art. So when Art & Makeup came across our desk at the office, we all stopped in our tracks.

Art & Makeup is a stunning compilation of more than 200 images of award-winning makeup artist Lan Nguyen-Grealis’s best works. As the youngest Golden Mask award-winner for Makeup Art, Lan has created a book that showcases just how imaginative makeup can be. By drawing inspiration from painters, sculptors, and cinema, Lan transforms makeup into breath-taking artwork with the help of legendary photographers like Rankin and David Bailey. To complement the editorial works, Lan has also included step-by-step tutorials for some of the techniques used in the book, along with tips and tricks from industry professionals.

While these works definitely aren’t wearable for most people, Art & Makeup would be an amazing gift for any makeup enthusiast. We also think it would be the perfect coffee table book for charming your guests! If you want to spend an hour drooling over the gorgeous images like we have, you can pick it up here for £22.03.

If we have something clear at the Amazing PR Offices it is that the Swatch watch has long been crowned the Rolex of plastic watches. The simple, rounded forms makes it perfect for any occasion and the affordable price tag means you can get away with becoming a bit of a collector without your bank account taking a hammering (I know people with some seriously expensive watch habits, this one is pretty guilt-free).

This Swiss brand knows the importance of a good collaboration to get their fans all excited over what is, to all intents and purposes, the same watch over and over again. The latest collab with renowned photographer Rankin is one of my favourites. His collection of three ‘Eyescape’ watches are inspired, in his own admission, by an obsession that has developed thorough his career with people’s eyes.

Rankin’s all-seeing eye comes in three colours, black, white and semi-transparent.
