A year in the life of Make up artist Amy Prifti

A year in the life of Make up artist Amy Prifti - 2014

Wow, what an amazing 2014 this has been!

As well as starting up my own Make up Academy where I have met lots of lovely people, some of whom went on to work along side me and now have their own make up business which I am so proud to be a part of.

I still have my Wedding Hair and Make up business which I love doing and feel privileged to be a part of any brides big day.

On top to that I have my self employed hair, make up business and beauty business, make and style wigs for various theatre productions and am lucky enough to work at Glyndebourne Opera House during their season in Sussex as well as being the hair stylist for Annabelle's Wigs and having so many fab experiences this year that I don't think I could list them all!

Some of my highlights have been;
CATWALKS

Designing the hair and make up for Isaac Raymond Fashion along with Fran Carter where we was joined by a whole team of make up artists and hair stylists to create all the looks needed for the show.

Styling wigs at the Mia Pichi Catwalk with Annabelle's wigs for Inanch Hair

Styling Annabelle's wigs for the Saropol Show for London Fashion Week with Danny Defreitas

PHOTO SHOOTS

I have been lucky enough to work on so many photo shoots this year so am finding it pretty hard to narrow down my highlights but top on my list would have to be this shoot taken at Amberley Castle in May with the mega talented costume designer Chrissie Nicholson-Wild

This was a really special shoot for me and will remain strongly in my memories for years to come. Not only because of the amazing dresses that Chrissie lovingly created but because of the team of people I had the pleasure of working with being so relaxed, professional and making the whole day fun (new friendships were made) plus the location being extra amazing. (It's a real friggin castle that you get to stay in and walk around freely)

Photographer - David Long, Exposure Studios London

Models - Stephanie Ellen and Francesca Louise

Hair pieces - Annabelle's Wigs

Location - Amberley Castle

Costume Designer - Chrissie Nicholson-Wild, Curve Couture

It is always a joy to work with photographer John Farrar and we created lots of fun looks on various models.

Models; Emily Bunclark, Charlie Ray, PortiaVictoria, Faith Oboe

I would like to thank everyone who I worked with this year for making it such a great, creative and colourful year and I am really looking forward to working with new and old creatives in 2015.

Hope you all have a good one :-) - Amy Prifti - Hair and make up Artist

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 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...

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....
