Make Up Inspiration

Every now and then I like to get into the studio with a model and photographer to have some creative fun, learn and use new techniques and generally this helps me to become a better make up artist and hair stylist.

Sometimes these 'studio days' have a plan which takes a few weeks to get everything together before we all meet up and create the final look.

Other times we just play it by ear, wait until we get to the studio or some one will put forward a suggestion which we go with and then let the shoot unfold before our eyes.

My Latest shoot was the later of the 3 above.

I got together with photographer Emma Meston - www.emmestphotography.com and model / hair stylist Yolanda Carella with a 'monochrome' out line.

I quickly ordered a few bobs from Annabelle's Wigs www.annabelleswigs.co.uk so that we could play around with a few different styles and we all met up at the studio.

The studio that we was in has a huge 'prop' section, lots of clothes and all sorts of things so as soon as you enter the studio, my mind starts to tick whilst taking it all in.

There are also a few photos by photographer John Farrar which are truly inspirational.

Here are the results of that creative day;

Yolanda brought along a hair piece that she had made at home using plenty of hair extensions that fitted in perfectly with our theme.

Once we had finished with our looks of the day I couldn't help but spot some hundreds and thousands sitting on the side so quickly we found a pink dress and managed to get one final look for the day and covered yolanda in sugar coated strands!

Let me know what you think of the results :-)

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....
