FashionistA Street Style Competition


Us Brits have always been admired for our cool, quirky and fun sense of style and with the likes of Alexa Chung, Jessie J and designers such as Dame Vivienne Westwood and Mary Katrantzou making waves across the globe, there’s no wonder that we have quickly become the leaders in shaping the fashion industry.

That’s why we count ourselves incredibly lucky to be based in one of the most stylish cities in the world; London, UK.  We’re always taking inspiration from the catwalks and high streets to create make-up that pushes the boundaries and praises individuality and frivolity!

This week, our Head Make-Up Artist Katie Jane Hughes has been scouring the stylish streets of London and snapping cool and creative outfits – she even gave each lucky lady a make-over using FashionistA Cosmetics to complement their ensemble.   Check out some of the looks she spotted and the make-up she used below… as well as our exciting Facebook COMPETITION at the end of this post! 



Get creative with your accessories!  We love the colourful and feminine accent the scarf adds to this grunge-cool outfit. 

Katie says:  “I went for smokey eyes with a feline finish using Secret Gel Eyeliner in 'Dress Down Cool' (£6) – the semi-matte brown colour worked well to highlight her beautifully dark and sultry features.  A slick of 'Buff' Lipstick (£6) kept focus on her big brown eyes.









Clash your textures and wrap up warm with a sheepskin gilet teamed with a leather biker jacket.  We love the boho touch of layered jewellery, too. 


Katie says:  “Brighten up your complexion with purple-smokey eyes.  I used a mixture of 'Black Out', 'Sultry' and 'Flamboyant' Mono Eyeshadows (£4 each) on the eyes to mirror her violet t-shirt then a splash of pink on the lips with 'Raspberry' Lipstick (£6).










You can't go wrong with a statement coat to cheer up a pair of skinny jeans and boots - how amazing is this cobalt blue trench coat!


Katie says: "I loved the contrast of her honey-toned hair and the brightness of her coat, so bright pink lips made complete sense to me! Colour clash with Plumping Lip Gloss in 'Hollywood' (£5)".












This season, it's all about the maxi skirt... we love the French Riviera feel of the navy blue skirt teamed with a casual, white tee. 


Katie says: "Add a pop of colour to a minimalist look with a bold lipstick.  I went with 'Red Carpet' Lipsticl (£6) to run with the nautical theme."







Update your denim with printed jeans.  Hoe great are these leopard print skinnies? Team yours with brogues to add a boyish touch.


Katie says: "With so much print and colours going on, sometimes less is more.  I went for a fail-proof slick of liner to the upper lash line for extra definition.  Secret Gel Eyeliner in 'Short List' (£6) is perfect as it's not too dark and has a glint of shimmer to brighten the eyes."
