Beauty Shoot // London


Yesterday I finally got to work with the lovely photographer Ella Tebbutt where we created a beauty shoot in South-East London. I had the pleasure of working on an absolutely stunning model, Lily @ Nevs Models, having the perfect look to complete the beauty shoot. I created a 'bronzed glow' for the first look using a lot of golden/brown tones, keeping the eyebrows/eyelashes natural and a lot of contouring on the cheekbones and temples. Throughout the first look I added a burgundy colour lipstick which looked beautiful for the look. The second look was in the bath filled with water so, with the make-up I kept the golden tones on the eyes and added a light blue on the crease of the eyelid and then to make it a bit more striking I added an electric blue on the bottom lash line, blending it to the outer of the eye. I then finished the look by adding a coral colour to the lip. After I finished the beauty shoot I headed to Elite Model Agency where my good friend Benn was doing a test shoot. I had the pleasure of meeting the Californian model Meghan McLellan. Perfect day!

BTS - Vu Cong Thanh's Private Collection









Yesterday I did makeup for the designer Vu Cong Thanh - for his private collection, held at a beautiful church in the center of Cambridge. I worked with head make-up artist - Freya Goodacre. Jasmine Eleazer and Jade Dixon where we had two models each to complete. The look was a flawless base, pink tone on the inner corners of the eyes taking it up to the brow, a lot of contouring below the cheekbones/temples and mainly focusing on the lips by creating an ombre lip using black as the outline and a dark red for the center. I was absolutely stunned by Thanh's collection he had made for SS14, the detail and effort he had put into everything! It was such a lovely day and met some really nice people.
