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 ...

How to cover up a tattoo using Camouflage creams

As a cosmetic camouflage practitioner I get asked to cover up scars, burn marks, port wine stains, birth marks, broken capillaries, Rosacea, eczema and all other skin conditions and discolourations.  When I am doing a wedding, I often get asked to cover up a tattoo or two! Below I will outline how you can cover up your own tattoo using Cosmetic camouflage creams. There are many creams available on the market, my product of choice is Dermacolor by Kryolan - this is endorsed by many companies including British Association of British Camouflage and Skin Camouflage Network.  Some of the products are also available on Prescription if your doctor gives you a prescription for the product - otherwise you can buy it direct from Charles H Fox.  1. - tattoo before any cosmetic camouflage creams have been applied. 2. If the tattoo is black, you need to apply a red colour on top of the black to neutralise the colour - I apply the product using a lip brush or liner brush....
