I was just thinking about who my beauty Icon is. I used to be hung up on Kardashians but now Im realising. Im not really looking to them anymore. Im looking at Make up Artists.
For me it's Lauren Bacall. I just love the old-fashioned sultry vibes she gives off.

Mine is Yolanda Foster. Sadly she has had Lyme Disease for the past few years and it has taken a toll on her skin. She's still amazing for an old girl though!! (Her daughter is Gigi Hadid, but I think Yolanda was even more stunning than Gigi when Yolanda was younger)

Hmm good question. I suppose Angelina Jolie is up there for me, not that I could ever look like her lol.  I think Blondie was stunning, she's still looking good for her age too but I bet she's got a ton of resources behind her. Oh and Elizabeth Taylor was a stunner too, I wish I had her eye colour :)

Hmm, I've never really thought about it.  I know I really admire natural beauty and people who are confident in their own skin - I always tend to be a bit sceptical of people who are covered in makeup and figure anyone could look like that with the right makeup artist, but it's probably just me trying to make myself feel better lol.
Probably a bit cliche but I think women like Jennifer Aniston and Halle Berry are beautiful,  And then there's the absolute classics like Audrey Hepburn....

Oh yes Blondie was stunning - all that blonde hair and red lips! and yes she is still stunning at 69 years old! wow, good genes really make a big difference eh?

My favourite was always Agnetha from ABBA but she didn't age very well sadly.

I love to pull beauty inspiration from a lot of people (famous or not) but one person that comes to mind would be Jennifer Lopez - seriously she's got that "glow from within" on lock whether it's natural or va vavoom!

I don't really have any specific beauty icons, I prefer to kind of make my own way with makeup and don't tend to follow trends at all.
If I look for inspiration it's always from MUAs I follow on Instagram and YouTube, nothing beats the classic artists but I really enjoy seeing looks from up and coming younger artists - they really appeal to me with their creativity.
Celebrity wise I always love the makeup that Cara Delevingne and Rihanna sport.

Vanessa Hudgens is my ultimate beauty and style icon, partly because i'm similar in age, height and build to her, and she always looks beautiful but natural, cool and relaxed. I have a few when it comes to clothing and style not so much make up though, I get most make up inspiration randomly from the net.

I find myself looking at actors on tv shows. I love looking on IG at looks people come up with. I find myself attracted to the more natural looks without all the filter things and perfect faces. How many people walk down the street behind a screen with filters and photo shopping??

When I see a shop assistant how has amazing makeup I tell them. I was shy at first doing it, now I'm happy saying what I love the most

For me it's Jeffree Star and Kat Von D.  I love how imaginative they are and open minded about makeup and the fact that it has no limits.  No longer are we limited to black liner or the 'normal' colours for shadow.  It's perfectly acceptable to have yellow eyeliner or shadow mixed with green shadow and pink lippy.  My imagination has gone nuts after seeing their makeup looks.  I have to say also that chikoboo and jessickaxnz are a huge inspiration for me.  I love their makeup looks they are always edgy and gorgeous but can always bring it back to natural and rock it.  They are the epitome of all that I call beautiful and your everyday girl! :D

For me, my beauty icons are Nicole from Youngwildandpolished (youtube) not only on her looks she creates but her attitude to life, it is very addictive and she shares alot of my dry humour and values which is awesome.   Samantha Reily (youtube) again she creates some awesome looks and she isn't even a MUA she just taught herself and spends too much money (her words!) so she is very similar to me.  Jaclyn Hill of course there is no explaination needed there =)

Wow it's hard for me to pick one person.  I feel like Olivia Palermo is pinned a lot to my beauty and style boards though.  She always looks modern but classy and not over done.

Eee! I don't think I can answer this one as I have soo many people that I look to for inspiration, both in real life, as well as on YouTube and IG. Everyone offers such different inspiration, depending on my mood and what I'm looking for at the time, plus I'm always finding new artists to drool over :)

I have many beauty icons, before it was celebrities until recently I realised there is nothing more beautiful and amazing than some of the wonderful ladies around me. I could go on forever with names, but to name a few they would be You (Macs), Chikoboo, Pintsize , Farmers-wife & Jessikaxnz xxx
