Before
This is a picture of my model Sam before any Makeup and Hair styling – how she arrived at the studio. It’s clear to see she is a natural beauty.
In the following photos I hope to demonstrate one of the things I love doing… creating different looks for people but while also not covering up or massively changing who they are.
Just letting their great natural features shine through and be enhanced.
Natural
A great casual and carefree look. This is a great option for a beach or garden wedding.
Makeup
I used natural colours and shades to enhance my model’s health and beauty and applied a foundation that doesn’t hide the skin – only evening out.
Hair
Casually styled in tune with how the hair naturally behaves. Hair accessories could also include a flower wreath. Or perhaps think of a beautiful clip or accessory, to pin your hair to the side or ½ up if you are worried about it getting in the way.
Classic
For those who love traditional and timeless style. A groomed, clean and crisp makeup and hair design.
Makeup
This is a good choice for those who want a bit more than a natural look. There is a little more coverage with the foundation. Eye, cheek and lip colours used are still in natural hues, but there is a bit more depth to them to add some more definition. I’ve also added individual fake lashes on the outer corners of the eyes to finish it off. Softly glowing look… a little shimmer.
Hair
A simple, not too fussy style defines this. It can be finished off with a veil and/or tiara or other accessories. Piled up curls or up-styled in a smooth, simple bun or twist, are some of the numerous styles that can suit this category.
Retro
A wonderful revival of old Hollywood glamour. Here is one modern interpretation of this old school look.
Makeup
A fine powdery matt finish is typically used for a Retro feel. Top lashes are defined with some extra fake lashes and a sweep of black eyeliner.
Finishing off with” soft – bold” red lips
Hair
Big soft waves and curls, either up or down, complement this look perfectly. Why not add a beautiful flower somewhere or a vintage accessory?
Smokey Sophistication
A tried and true look, something that works particularly well for evening events.
Makeup
Using a good coverage foundation, teamed with “Smokey” eyes for a sultry look that is complemented with creamy nude lips and a little shimmery glow. Lashings of mascara complete this look. Extra fake lashes can also add dimension here if necessary.
Hair
For this photo I created a textured Up-style, but a many hairstyles would work well with this look, so set your imagination loose!
Modern Glam
For women who enjoy some of the latest fashion trends.
Makeup
A creamy foundation, and eys with the latest high shimmer shadow add a modern zing to this look, teamed with a great bold lip colour
Hair
I’ve added some hair extensions to give extra volume and length to our model’s hair. Incorporating a plait or twist can add another dimension to this without getting too fussy. But again, anything goes with this look.
