Behind-the-scenes with Jeannie D

19 September 2012

Take a behind-the-scenes look at our October beauty shoot with Jeannie D.

By Megan Button

Our crew of seven were star-struck when bubbly celeb Jeannie D walked into the studio for our beauty shoot. But we were quickly put at ease by Jeannie’s relaxed and comfortable nature, and we all had a great morning talking beauty regimes and gossiping!

In between all the chatter, we did manage to get a few beautiful photos of Jeannie taken by the talented photographer Johan Wilke. Jeannie’s flawless skin and luscious locks were the focus of the beauty shoot, and thanks to her incredible genes and the work of make-up artist Lara Whitehead and hairstylist to the stars Fernander Luz, it was a great success. We couldn’t stop talking about Jeannie’s thick and glossy mane which was the envy of all us mere mortals.

Go to page 110 of our October issue for some great beauty tips from Jeannie herself.
