Collaborative test shoot

It has been a little while since I last posted on here but after today's fashion shoot I thought id post a few images I assisted on. I voulenteered to assist the make up artist on this shoot. It was a collaboration shoot between a fashion promotion student at the college next door to me called uca, and a make-up artist/art and design student from my college. The project theme was feminism and I think the shoot went very well. Assisting on the makeup really inspired me and made me realise even more that this is what I want to do as a career. 

Two more make-up looks added to my portfolio

Two new make-up experiments

Today I had a go at the Chanel Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week SS14 look (using my friend as a model) I thought it was such a simplistic yet elegant look with a very dewy glow to it

I also wanted to try something which dated a bit further back in time. The typical 1960's twiggy/Bambi eye. I used false lashes and a lot of eye liner and shadow. I did attempt drawing the Bambi lashes on the bottom, but being as it was my first time trying this they were pretty rubbish! So I thought id wipe them off and just stick with some clumpy mascara for this photo, which did work okay, but I will have to practice.

Dramatic eyeliner look

Today I tried out a couple of make-up looks using my friend as model. I decided to go for the dramatic eye liner look using the 24 hour extreme eye liner by collection 2000. 

London trip

This Tuesday just gone, I went away for a day/night in London with my mum. We mainly visited museums and exhibitions but also did a few touristy things too. It was a really nice couple of days and here's a few photos of what I saw.

The glastress exhibition in Oxford circus, London college of fashions fashion space gallery.

It was quite a small exhibition but still very fascinating. After this we went to a restaurant called "Bills" for breakfast and I got this banana and berry smoothie. It was really inspiring being in London and just made me want to be living there already.
