'In my Kit' Professional make up artist - Concealers

When reaching for a concealer, there is only one product that I use - Dermacolor. These bad boys have so much pigment in them that I can cover a tattoo with them, therefore dark eyes are no problem against dermacolor concealer palettes.

I was first introduced to dermacolor when I worked at Charles H Fox in London - they sell the dermacolor range which was introduced to the market as a cosmetic camouflage cream. I was so interested by this that I enrolled myself straight away onto a course with the British Association of Skin Camouflage.

Not only was I introduced to dermacolor, but various different ranges of camouflage creams that are all used for the same purpose - to cover up birth marks, port wine stains, psoriasis, burns, rosacea and much, much more.

In my kit I keep 2 mini palettes of 16 colours each in both light and medium £19.25 each

I tend to find that the colour range offered in these palettes will match with most skin colours.

I also have the large concealer tester palette at home £79.00 so that I can match up concealers with all skin tones as well as being able to offer cosmetic skin camouflaging colour matches.

I use this concealer on all clients for both concealing unwanted marks and to cover up dark circles around the eye area.

Total cost on Concealers - £114.50

These concealers do have a long life line and one mini palette will normally last me up to 18 months.

How to plan a wedding ?

I often get asked by people how a wedding day transforms and the answer is that each wedding day is very different to each other with some brides being more organised than others, and also a lot of it depends on how the bride is feeling - you will never know how you will feel on your wedding day until the day itself comes! Here is a little insight into behind the scenes on the morning of a wedding day. With thanks to Laura Higgins (nee Lancaster) who has kindly let me share her morning with the world! Enjoy reading and remember, this is just how Laura's wedding transpired, each wedding is individual and every one's wedding day is different to eachother......... Having met Laura for her trial, it was decided that I would turn up at the Norfolk Arms, Arundel where she was getting ready at 07.30 am. Bride and bridesmaids were ready and waiting at the window for me! First things first - turns out the veil had no clip attached so I quickly put the bridesmaids to...

Hayley won a night's stay at the hotel Pelirocco , a make over by myself , a boudoir shoot with Emma Meston at Taboudoir , an Annabelle's hair piece , a head dress by Big Bead Boutique and lingerie from She Said Boutique .

How to choose a photographer for your wedding day - Introducing Marianne Chua

ABOUT YOU........ What is your background? I’m Marianne, I’m a young (in my head) photographer who specialises in weddings but who occasionally ganders with music photography as well. I’m self-taught through the school of Google, so essentially I learnt everything I know from online resources and trial and erroring during my film photography hobby days… then one day a friend asked me to photograph their wedding so I picked up a digital camera and haven’t stopped since! I still own 16 film cameras and will be using some of them at the weddings. ABOUT YOUR COMPANY Tell me a bit about your company and what you have to offer to the wedding industry. I’m a wedding photographer offering a fun, relaxed, alternative documentary style of photography! I’m based in London but I adventure all over to shoot weddings. I offer a more modern and quirky service, I think the kind of clients that book me want someone friendly who can blend into their day and be a part of it ra...
