Kustom Summer Campaign 2011

The last two days I have been working on the Summer Campaign for Kustom Footwear!

It was such an amazing experience, I had so much fun!!

The concept was a road trip with 4 fashion bloggers from Melbourne,

Annie and Celine from - anniieemal.blogspot.com

Tessa from- tessa-jay-circanow.blogspot.com

Christina from - src783.blogspot.com

The hair and makeup look was extremly natural, with fresh dewy skin - achieved through airbrush appliation, soft cheeks ( I used MAC Harmony with a MAC minerlize highlight on the cheek bones), defined eyebrows (inglot brow set) , natural pearl eyeshadow, finished off with soft highlighting under the brows and in the inner corner of the eye. Lips were lined with a rose Stilla lipliner finished off with a clear gloss.

Hair was also really natural. Soft waves on the first day, with a slight variation on the second.

It was so great to be sorrounded by so many creative and talented people!

I can't wait to see the results! Also a big thanks to Pia!

Formals...

This year so far I had had the opportunity to do hair and makeup for lots of formal girls all over

the Gold Coast. With school wrapping up this week for all of the year 12's there are plenty of formals on, which means I'm super busy!

Here are a couple of picture I have from the formal girls I have worked on this year. Sorry for the poor photo quality on some of the pictures :(

Last week...

Wow how the past 2 weeks since my last post have flow by!

5 photo shoots, Natalie and Abbie's weddings, plus trials and other clients left right and centre! And that was just last week!

Abbie before her wedding at Salt Kingscliff

Natalie and her sister before her wedding at Burleigh headland

I also had the opportunity to work with two new photographers.
Firstly Jenni from Jenni Lorraine Photography. We worked on two shoots together last week, one for a lovely lady wanting to get back into some acting after a few years out of the business and the other for a mother and daughter having some portraits for Christmas gifts.

On Wednesday I also got to work with Ali Mitten for a photoshoot due to be submitted to a magazine (stay tuned). The only way to descride this shoot is AMAZING! The creative collaboration really came together and we really nailed the look we were after. A very special mention goes out to the stylist Kate who was fabulous! I have never worked with a stylist as creative and inspiring as Kate. I really wish that I could post some behind the scenes pictures up for you to have a look at but I have to keep these ones close to my chest for now!

I also went along to see the Valentino Retrospective Exhibition at the Queensland Art Gallery. I got in last minute (the final day!) and it seemed a lot of other people had the same idea! The expo was beautiful. It was great to see Valentinos work from his first pieces to his latest collection. Aside from his animal print collection, any of the pieces would be just as amazing to wear now as they were when they were first created. I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to see all of these beautiful pieces by a true artist. Unfortuntely photo's weren't allowed!

Stay tuned for another post soon!

Melbourne Cup 2010

I had a great day yesterday working on Melbourne Cup at Room81 at the Sofitel in Broadbeach.

I got to work with Erin, Julia, Lesley, Mercedes, Fern, Tyson and Justin from Division as well as both of the Kirstens!

It was a really fun day and the girls looked great!

The makeup look was fresh dewy skin, with a defined eye. The colours I used on the eye were MAC era and embark as well as a black eyeshadow from Inglot. I then used MAC black gel liner on the top lash line smudged out and into the socket.

Underneath I used a black kohl pencil also smudged.

I highlighted the brow bone and inner corner of the eye with a light pink pigment from Inglot.

I finished it off with a peach lipstick and clear gloss.
