text: Fact: BRAD GORESKI is one of the most likable guys in fashion. If you watched The Zoe Project and then Brad’s spin-off, It’s a Brad Brad World, then you’re probably just as obsessed with him as I am and so when SUAVE offered me the chance to ask Brad a few questions, I naturally jumped at the chance. Brad decided to partner with the beauty brand because he loves the glamour of the red carpet and awards season, and they’ve introduced products this year that embody just that.
  Q: Can you tell us any insider info on who you’re styling for the Oscars and other awards shows that are coming up?
  A: I styled Lara Dern and Jenna Dewan-Tatum for the (Oscars) awards show last night. For Laura I chose a soft petal pink. Seeing her in such a romantic color was really exciting for me. It was a very edgy but beautiful. For Jenna we were going for a glamorous princess moment. As soon as she put this gown on we knew this was the one. It incorporated everything I love to see in a red carpet gown—drama, glitter and of course radiant, glowing skin.
  A: I would say Jared Leto. He’s got a coolness to his personality that seems to radiate through his personal look. Everything’s just so in sync. I also love Diane Kruger—she always seems to nail it no matter what she’s wearing. She’s got that ‘cool girl’ mentality that I love.

  Making Sewn Board Binding, sketchbooks using 210g Norfolk cartridge paper. Joanna Radford has lived in Devon since 1975, on Dartmoor since 1981. She was a member of Dartington Print Workshop, studying under Michael Honnor, until 2008. She has exhibited work in the South West. She is primarily a printmaker, but has developed this medium to make artists' books, very often as collaborative projects with other printmakers. She also makes books and commemorative albums to commission. Her work is informed by and inspired by her "other life" as a small holder, Dartmoor commoner and breeder of Dartmoor ponies and Shetland sheep. www.joannaradford.co.uk
  Learn to make A4 hand made paper out of cotton and recycled rag. The largest output at Two Rivers is of the famous TR and DeNimes handmade artists paper. This is the paper of choice for many of the country's finest artists. Two Rivers has a unique random surface texture unlike the mechanically even weave of most other branded papers. This also means that there is not a right or wrong side as both sides are identical. It is incredibly hard sized, allowing the painter the luxury of pushing paint around for much longer than with more absorbent artist’s papers. As well as watercolour, our papers are used for pastels, oils, printmaking, photographic processes and many types of mixed media. www.tworiverspaper.co.uk/themill
  Focusing on the nature of drawing, and the drawing of nature. Warm up to include large movement and shadow drawing, as above, while encouraging an explorative approach to drawing. The big Idea: The act of drawing while moving and shadow drawing positive and negative shapes, allows us to loosen up and explore the concept of Edges, Space and Shapes, in a way that doesn’t continually reference our stored symbolic concepts of a subject. Sometimes learning to draw is about knowing that your only job is to record information and shadow drawing allows us to do this brilliantly... with creativity following.

  Make-up lovers also need a good make-up remover. And we usually struggle with finding a good, efficient and strong, but gentle one. There's also a struggle with different types of skin. So far, I've been loving Garnier micellar water which I introduced in my Make-up removers (Garnier vs Nivea vs Essence post a while back.
  If you read it, you know I liked it then, but I learned to love it after more usage. It was just the best choice. Then I finished a bottle and I was in a need of something new.
  I saw this L'Oreal micellar water for sensitive, normal to mixed skin. If I have a choice, I always take products for sensitive skin as they tend to be more gentle. This micellar water is hypoallergenic, without perfumes, without alcohol and without parabens. Although they say it is good for skin to clean it and remove extra sebum, I only use it to remove my make-up.
  I got these 400 ml for about $6 which is basically the price of the Garnier one. Other than price, what draw me in was nice sleek packaging and overall how fancy it looked on the shelf.
  Now to get on the most important point. How it removes make-up? Really good! It removes all of my make-up within minutes even if I have few layers (primer, foundation, powders, setting spray). It also removes my eye make-up without irritating my eyes which is usually a struggle. However, it struggles a bit with waterproof make-up such as eyeliners, but I always have that problem (as my Essence eyeliner is the best in staying on the lid).
  This product has no scent or color. It also doesn't leave any greasy layer on your face. It basically feels like you removed your make-up with just water which leaves your skin smooth and somehow shiny.
  I've always used the Garnier micellar water, I've never used any other micellar water but I should really venture out and try something new x
  Garnier is kinda my favorite too (although I really liked Nivea too), but this one is not bad at all! I like to try new product every time I run out of some :)
