little white truths

I saw on Facelurk that DOLLY, Cleo and Lust Have It! have joined up to find the most stunning beauty flaylay in Australia (see here for details).

I knew immediately what the term 'flatlay' meant when I saw it, but I hadn't heard it used before - quite possibly because I've had my head in the sand where photography is concerned. (Hey, I'm a writer, forgive me!)

Basically a flatlay is arranging items on a flat surface so they look pretty and interesting. The composition has to be there too.

Since I've never done a beauty flatlay in my life, I thought it was high time to get creative and interesting with my photos. I'm starting at a disadvantage, not only because I have no background in photography and haven't experimented too much with designing photos for this blog, but also because I don't have good equipment or programs to help me.

But let's see what I can do. After all, prizes are involved!


The winner will receive:

• Beauty goodies worth over $2000 from Lust Have It (oooohhh...)
• One year’s subscription to Lust Have It
• A flight and hotel stay in Sydney
• A DOLLY or Cleo subscription
• The opportunity to style a beauty flatlay that will be featured in DOLLY or Cleo
