How to style Annabelle's Wigs

As a make up artist and hair stylist I often have to create elaborate hair styles for people who don't have either long enough hair or thick enough hair - this is where a hair piece can add much needed hair and shine to create a look special enough for brides to wear on their special day.

I received a phone call from a bride recently who was getting married the following week and asked me to create a few hair styles using Annabelle's Wigs Hair pieces from the Lino range.
Here are the results;

Using the High Pony (Poppy) I started by setting it in heated curlers and then plaited and weaved the top of the pony to create some interest into the piece.

 I finished by applying a few small rose buds into the piece to match the brides bouquet.
 Next, using another High Pony (Poppy) - I wrapped the entire length of the hair piece around the existing clip to create a large bun that could be placed anywhere on the brides head (top bun, low bun or even side bun)
 I also created two other hair styles - both using the Artemis Bun - the first one I put some padding inside to give the illusion that it is wider (second bun to the right)
The last style I created (first on the right) I used two Artemis Buns and set them both in heated curlers.  Once set I lightly teased out the curls and secured both buns together before placing the rose buds into strategic places.
Which one did the bride choose to wear on her wedding day? - All FOUR of course!
And luckily, all pieces I created so that they could be placed into her own hair with ease, using each hair piece's own clip that it comes already fitted with.

Why choose the  Lino Range at Annabelle's Wigs ? - because these fantastic affordable pieces can be styled with heat and make your hair look extra shiny and healthy.

British Heart Foundation Wear It Beat It Campaign

It was really great to be the hair and make-up artist for the new British Heart Foundation campaign - Wear It. Beat It 2017 -  https://wearitbeatit.bhf.org.uk This was a two day photoshoot working with a wonderful team from  Killer Creative  marketing agency. On the first day I worked with heart survivor's, consultants and surgeons which was great as I got to listen to a lot of amazing stories that people were happy to share.  In fact, this is one of the favourite parts of my work - getting to hear about other people's lives and the fact that people want share with me. On the second day, a lot of male, female and children models arrived to have their hair and make-up done so that the British Heart Foundation had a variety of photos to share for their next big advertising campaign. I really enjoyed being a member of the team that created photos for this campaign for the British Heart Foundation and look forward to

Getting Married at Mecure Hotel, Brighton

I met Louise at her wedding trial when she said that she really didn't wear make-up that often and was a bit worried that her hair wouldn't look how she wanted due to the colour and condition. Roll forward a couple of months and Louise's hair was the colour and condition that she wanted and I was able to provide her with a hair piece from Annabelle's Wigs to lengthen the overall style for her wedding day. Louise was very lucky with the weather and her hotel room looked out over the Brighton seafront. On the day, I provided Louise and her mum with Gel Nails, Hair and Make-up - Here's my set up below. I always love getting brides ready for their wedding day in Brighton, it's lovely to have the calm sea with the sun shining. Hair and make-up by Amy Prifti - www.bridalmakeupbyamy.co.uk

Hair & Make-up for the Costume Store's new website

It was great to work with stylist Kate Vaughn and Photographic Studio Imago Photography on this photoshoot providing updated photos for the costume store to use on their website. I was required to apply a very natural make-up with period hair so that the final look could go with all costume changes. The model adapted extremely well and thoroughly enjoyed playing 'dress up' for the day. The costume store is based just outside of Lewes and it is a place where you can visit to buy costumes to be used in TV, Film and Theatre productions.
