This is my final image from my Zac Posen inspired makeup. I was really happy with the finished design and think that I did a good job re creating the catwalk look. 

I don't think that I struggled with anything in particular. I was happy with the base although I would have liked to make it more dewy. In order to achieve a more dewy look for recreating this look again, I could use less powder and a different foundation that instantly creates a dewy skin. A foundation I think that would be perfect for this is Charlotte Tilbury's light wonder foundation which is a light to medium coverage and leaves a dewy finish on the skin. It would be a perfect product to use because like at Zac Posen, the skin looked more natural and fresh as appose to heavy which would be achieved with full coverage foundation.

I was really pleased with my lip application and think that making them matte using translucent powder worked well. I was happy with the balance and overall, although for the catwalk show they used MAC ruby woo, I think I managed to match the colour well. I decided not to use ruby woo as I find it quite drying when applying, so instead I used the Kryolan lip palette and made the lips matte with powder. 

I really loved the finished eye colour of my final assessment. I used a mixture of Kryolan eye shadows to create an orange toned shadow, which I them added a shimmer to. I applied a small amount of Vaseline to the eye shadow to give it a wet look which made the eye shadow crease but ultimately this is avoidable so I think it came out well. 

For the highlight, I wanted to use a Revlon highlighter but I made a mistake thinking the product was available at college. Instead, I created my own dewy highlight using MAC vanilla pigment and moisturiser. I was pleased with how it looked on the models skin and think it have a subtle effect. I think in future, the Revlon highlighter would be a good product to use because it has a dewy finish and would be perfect for this look. 

  

The models in the Zac Posen catwalk had a wet look hairstyle. As I wanted to show different techniques including using heated appliances, I created an interpretation of the hairstyles but decided to keep the hair dry. I found one model in particular who's hair was plaited behind the ears so I took inspiration from that for my design. As well as this many of the modules hair was pinned at the side so I incorporated this into my look. 

I sectioned the hair and got the bottom as straight as I could, incorporating the plaits behind the ears. For the top section,  I smoothed back the sides as flat to the head as I could and pinned to the back, then for the top of the hair I back combed the hair and created a small bouffant. To make it appear less dry I combed some gel through it but didn't add too much through worry of the hair flattening. 

I was really happy with my finished hair design and pleased with the overall balance of the hairstyle.
If I were to recreate this look again, apart from the things I have mentioned, I think that I would like to balance the lips more as one lip looked bigger than the other. To achieve this I would draw over the natural lip line on the upper lip using a lip liner and then fill in the area with the lipstick colour I used in order to balance it with the bottom. I would also like to experiment with other products such as the Charlotte Tilbury foundation I mentioned and the Revlon highlighter to see the difference it made to my makeup.
 
Overall, I really enjoyed this assessment and think that both the hair and makeup went well together. For my next hair assessment I would like to create a more intricate design to really challenge myself and would also like to create a makeup that challenged my eyeliner and lip liner technique as those are areas that I feel I need to strengthen.

London and New York SS15 trends

London Fashion Week SS15

London fashion week showed a beautiful variety of make-up looks but what stood out to me in particular was the make-up from the Burberry collection.

The Burberry SS15 theme was 'The birds and the bees' and Burberry produced a number of bold, statement pieces that successfully caught the attention of the audience. Christopher Bailey's idea behind the birds and the bees theme was to incorporate insects and natural colours into the designs to create a carefree look.

To me, the only thing better than the incredibly colourful and impressive clothes designs (I loved the trench coats!) was the flawless make-up that the models wore.
 
British supermodel Jourdan Dunn
 
 This photograph of Jourdan Dunn, a British supermodel, shows a simple yet flawless makeup design. The skin has a 'sun kissed' look to it, with bronzes cheeks and an overall healthy glow. Minimal eye make-up is used and the brows are groomed naturally. The main focal point of this look is undoubtedly the lips. The lips are a deep ruby red colour and appear to have a matte finish.
 
The Make-up Artist of this look is the very talented Wendy Rowe. She had this to say about the look on her website:
 
"The Burberry beauty look is inspired by The Birds and the Bee’s mood of the ready-to-wear collection. Christopher Bailey’s collection use’s insects and the colours of nature to create ‘something natural and free’ this is reflected in the makeup with a gorgeous honey skin. To get this I used Fresh Glow in Golden Radiance to warm up the girls skin and Fresh Glow Foundation for a dewy radiant finish. Tawny eye’s are washed with nude hue’s to create a natural depth using Light Glow – Earthy Blush. The lips are a deep ruby colour created using a combination of Brick Red Lip Definer and Lip Cover in Ruby. Brow’s are filled in with the new Effortless Eyebrow Definer – for natural brow you’ve always wanted! This season, we skipped the mascara to give a modern feel."
 
What I love about this make-up trend is its simplicity. The bold lip colour draws the attention of the audience but does not get lost in the clothes designs. I like that the make-up appears effortless, yet the model looks truly stunning. I particularly like the matte finish of the lips because I think it makes it more modern. Sometimes red lip colour can indicated a retro theme but I think the matte look makes it more current and fits well with Christopher Bailey's vision for the collection. The best thing about this look is that it would definitely suit every skin tone. The Burberry models all wore the same bold lip and it looked equally as beautiful on the paler skin toned models as those with a darker skin tone. I think this makeup trend will be particularly popular because its something that everyone can recreate.
 
Jourdan Dunn wears her hair down for this look, cut in a long bob and styled with natural looking waves. The hairstylist in charge of this showcase was Neil Moodie. From looking at a variety of photographs from the Burberry Collection, I noticed that the models hairstyles mirror each others, in that they all wear it down and with loose waves. I think that the hair works perfectly with the make-up to add to the natural look. It almost reminds me of how your hair would look after a day at the beach, yet more glamorous. I really like the feminine, romantic look of the hairstyle and think it looks great on the variety of lengths of hair that the models have.
 
Overall,  I think that the hair and make-up look from the Burberry Spring/Summer 15 collection was truly inspiring. Its simple, yet bold statement is definitely set to be one of the hottest trends next year.

New York Fashion Week SS15
 
New York Fashion Week saw some pretty inspirational beauty trends. The Rodarte fashion show  saw models wearing multiple eyebrow rings accompanied by a natural make-up created by the Make-up Artist James Kaliardos in order to create an almost cool, grunge look. This daring look was very different to the approach at Marc Jacobs. Make-up artist François Nars (NARS cosmetics) sent his models out wearing nothing more than moisturiser and to be completely honest, the fresh faced models pulled it off beautifully.
 
Perhaps my most favourite look of the New York Fashion Week was the make-up from Tommy Hilfiger.
 
Photographs from the Tommy Hilfiger show SS15
 
The Tommy Hilfiger SS15 collection focused on festival fashion. Inside the circus tents and away from the thousands of flowers that decorated the area, the models graced the catwalk in clothes inspired by the 60s and 70s. The fashion trends included a lot of denim, stars, stripes and suede as well as classic rock inspired military style coats which I just loved! The whole event screamed 'flower power' with a rock and roll twist and this theme was mirrored in the make-up and hair that the models wore.


American model Kendall Jenner
 
This photograph shows American model Kendall Jenner wearing the festival inspired make-up look created by Make-up Artist Pat McGrath. The make-up design shows a soft, smokey eye with kohl liner and nude lips. The eyebrows are filled but look well groomed and natural. This is accompanied by a cluster of painted star tattoos down the side of the face which add to the hippy inspired theme.
 
The Make-up Artist of this look was none other than the amazing Pat McGrath. What I like about this make-up design is how young and carefree it looks. The make-up is subtle, allowing the fashion to be the main focus of attention, however the temporary tattoos remind the audience of Tommy Hilfiger's vision for this collection and adds to the overall fun of the show. I really like the fact that this look is something that anyone can recreate easily. Temporary tattoos have recently become a fashion trend, with artists such as BeyoncĂ© wearing metallic temporary tattoos that look like jewellery, so I think that this trend will be something that proves to be very popular.
 
From looking at all the photographs of the Tommy Hilfiger models, they all notably have their hair in the same style. Unless wearing a hat, each model wears their hair down, with a middle parting. The hair is loose and slightly unkempt, giving it a hippy feel. This particular hairstyle would appear to be a heavy influence of the 1970s so fits in well with the theme of the show and compliments the make-up completely. I really like this hairstyle because I think a centre parting look is something that will never tire and can be so versatile no matter the occasion.
 
Overall, I think the hair and make-up from the Tommy Hilfiger SS15 collection was fun, free and something that will most definitely be experimented with throughout the beauty industry.

What I've learnt about beauty trends.

From looking at a variety of fashion shows from London, Paris, Milan and New York, I have noticed that although each individual designer has a particular desired look, similarity can be found throughout many other shows. The best thing about make-up is how versatile it is and how each individual make-up artist interprets a trend into their design, whilst still being completely original. The trends of SS15 included a variety of natural make-up looks such as a no makeup look by Marc Jacobs and a slightly more sun-kissed natural look by Ralph Lauren.  Although they were different in their approach, each company still had the same message- that minimal make-up is in. I found that studying the hair and fashion of each model allowed me to realise just how much needs to be taken into consideration when designing make-up for a fashion show. The hair, make-up and clothes need to work together in order to portray the correct message to the audience observing. I have really enjoyed looking at some of the upcoming beauty trends of 2015 and am looking forward to interpreting some of the trends into my work.

Current trends

Zac Posen NYFW SS/15
 
 
Zac Posen, SS15
 
Zac Posen NY SS15 showed a beautiful, classic makeup look. Makeup artist Kabuki (MAC cosmetics) created a dewy look with matte red lips and a golden shimmer to the eye. Apart from the eye shadow, makeup was minimal with no eyeliner and just a small amount of mascara. Cheeks were softly bronzed and eyebrows were groomed naturally in order to make the lips the main focal point of this look. Red lips are a timeless classic that has been repeated on the runway through the years but what is safe to say is that the beautiful clothes that graced the catwalk were definitely complimented with this makeup look. The clothes which were predominately coloured black, red and white had a sophisticated feel to them that matched this glamorous makeup look.
 
  I have chosen this look for my technical assessment because I love the statement lip and as I have struggled with lips before, I really want to challenge myself in creating the correct shape for this look. I love the dewy look of the skin from this catwalk so look forward to recreating it. I also chose this look because I think that my model will suit the look well. She has a good complexion and is slightly pale which I think will work with the lip colour. Also, the eyebrows in this look are natural but shaped and I am lucky enough to be working with someone who has a great eyebrow shape.  


Tanya Taylor NYFW SS15
 
 
Tanya Taylor, SS15
 
Tanya Taylor SS15 makeup showed similarities to Zac Posen SS15. Like Zac Posen, a bold lip is used as the main focal point of the makeup. The rest of the face is kept subtle with just tinted moisturiser and concealer used as the base. Makeup artist Uzo (NARS cosmetics) opted for a beautifully bright red toned orange lip and accentuated the face by adding highlight to omit a healthy glow. Eyebrows were groomed and left natural for this simplistic look and eye makeup was kept minimal with just a light shimmer shadow. The fashion trends of this show included clothes coloured orange, light blue and white so it really complimented the striking orange lip created. I really love this look because I think the lip colour contrasts well with the highlight and makes the models skin look amazing.
 
 
Burberry AW14
 
 
Burberry, AW14
 
Burberry Prorsum AW14 showed a bohemian style inspired by The Bloomsbury Group. (an influential group of artists, writers and philosophers) The clothes were eccentric with hand painted flowers on jackets and bags as well as floral printed dresses teamed with printed blankets and wraps. The style was very romantic and the makeup created by makeup artist Wendy Rowe mirrored this. The makeup for Burberry was soft and beautiful using a plum eye shadow on both the top and bottom eye lids to create an almost dreamy, sensual look. A white eyeliner was used inside the water line to make the eyes stand out and a soft blush and pink lipstick was used to add to the bohemian feel of the makeup. I really like this look because the colours of the makeup are not bold enough to clash with the strong colours used in the clothes. The softness of the makeup stands out but does not draw the attention away from the main focal point.
 
 
Marc Jacobs SS14
 
 
 
Marc Jacobs SS14
 
Marc Jacobs SS14 had a gothic, eerie feel to it. The clothes were predominately dark coloured with black, dark greens, blues and purples being the main colours of the clothes. Along with military style jackets, floral Bermuda pieces and dresses that were clearly inspirations of the Victorian era, Marc Jacobs created a truly edgy look. The makeup for this, created by NARS founder Francois Nars, adds a pop of colour to the face and works well with the dark fabrics used in the show. The electric blue eye liner is applied in a cat like shape to create drama whilst the rest of the face is kept simple with a transparent base created using concealer and tinted moisturiser for a flushed look. Lips are kept nude making the eyeliner the main statement of the look and eyebrows are groomed but kept natural. The harsh choppy blonde bobs that the models wear (which are all wigs) add to the overall dramatic, grungy look and really help to convey the theme of this trend. Although I think the hair, makeup and clothes work well together to portray the gothic look, I am not particularly a fan of the hair style. I don't think that it is a wearable look but looks good for the purpose of the show. I really love the pop of eye makeup in this look and like that the rest of the face is kept neutral. I think that this look is something that the public can experiment with and will be a successful makeup trend as it does not require and immense amount of makeup technique to recreate.

Editorial Campaigns

Editorial Campaign- Roberto Cavalli AW14
 
The Roberto Cavalli AW14 editorial campaign was very much an influence of the much loved sex symbol and beauty icon, Marilyn Monroe. Although Roberto Cavalli explained that this was intentional, the campaign did portray a modern twist on the icon's classic look, making it more wearable and current.
 
The campaign featured British beauty, singer Rita Ora, who wore her blonde hair similar to Marilyn's signature waves. The hair, styled by Brent Lawler was volumized and beautiful and complimented the nude makeup that Rita wore. Although the hair style showed major similarities to Marilyn's, both in colour and style, I think that hair stylist Brent has created a much softer, wearable look that is much more contemporary.
 
The makeup was created by makeup artist Kathy Jeung and although I think that the hair is one of the main focal points of this campaign, it is hard not to notice how flawless Rita's makeup is. Kathy ditched Marilyn Monroe's trademark red lip for this look and instead opted for a nude lip colour. This makes the look more wearable and modern and doesn't draw the attention away from the beautiful dresses. The soft eye colour and winged eyeliner adds a romantic feel to the campaign and the well groomed eyebrows and perfectly bronzed, highlighted skin creates a look of elegance. I think that Rita Ora looks completely stunning in this campaign and that the makeup accentuates her natural beauty perfectly.
 
I really love the background settings of this campaign as the location and props convey luxury and expense, in sticking with the Hollywood glamour theme of this campaign.
 
Rita oozes seduction whilst posing in a variety of gorgeous evening dresses that highlight her striking figure and beautiful skin. The variety of poses include a take on the infamous 'white dress moment' where Marilyn Monroe's dress is blown upwards as she stands above a subway in the film The Seven Year Itch. The dresses in this campaign are figure hugging and create a beautiful silhouette. The light fabric of the dresses and creative patterns are lavish and decadent and have a pop of colour that draws the attention of the audience.
 
Overall, I really love this campaign. It's fun, glamorous and beautiful and I think that the photographer Francesco Carrozzini has worked well to capture the themes that Roberto Cavalli wanted to portray. I think that Rita Ora looks truly magnificent in these photographs and her hair and makeup looks nothing short than perfect. I think that the softer, romantic take on Marilyn Monroe's makeup could be easily wearable for both day and evening and generally, I think that this makeup look is set to be a popular trend.

'Coco Coach' Chanel AW14
 
At the Chanel AW14 editorial ad, sport meets street in a campaign featuring models Cara Delevingne and Binx Walton wearing various fashion pieces influenced by sport and street wear. The models wore colourful trainers and jogging trousers, as well as tweed outfits, leather shoes with knee pads and chunky padlock necklaces that added an urban feel to the looks.

Watch behind the scene footage here.
 
The setting for this campaign was a gym complete with a boxing ring, gym machines, weights and male boxers which I think, was a perfect location for the photo shoot. It's gritty and dark and contrasts well with the beautiful colourful fashion designs. I think choosing this type of location for this look is very clever because not only does it fit in with the theme of the clothing but the grey, drab colours of the gym tend to drown into the background and as an audience we are immediately drawn to the clothes as they have more vibrant colours.
 
The make up look for this campaign, created by Tom Pecheux shows a beautiful dewy makeup look complete with natural, filled brows, subtle soft pink lips and heavy contour under the cheekbones. The eye makeup is kept minimal with just eyeliner and mascara. The skin looks fresh and beautiful but the contour adds to the heavy, street feel of this look. I think that the makeup really compliments the overall theme of the campaign. The makeup is slightly dewy which could be intended to convey the workout aspects of the shoot. The heavy contour of the cheeks draws the face in and makes the model appear more dramatic, adding to the boyish feel of the ad. I really like the makeup look for this campaign and think that the subtle feel of the makeup works well with the rest of the components. I prefer more dramatic makeup styles than this but I can see how Tom has used the makeup to enhance other aspects of the advert.
 
The hair, created by hairstylist Sam McKnight is very urban and has a male feel to it. Model Cara sports a high ponytail complete with woven tweed dreadlocks. Along with her, Binx wears her hair with a shaved side and thick curls cascading in front of the face creating a dramatic, street look. I really love the hairstyles in this ad and although I disagree that this would be a trend that was wearable, I love Sam McKnight's creativity and especially love the dreadlocks. Although they do appear very 'tomboy' the pink pastel colours of the material woven into the hair adds a feminine touch to the look.
 
Chanel's AW sportswear campaign
 
This particular ad campaign is very influential to fashion. Activewear has recently began to stand out in the fashion industry, with companies creating more wearable gym wear. High street brand H&M have teamed up with Alexandra Wang to create a line of wearable sports clothes and sports brands such as Adidas have teamed with urban artist Rita Ora to create a line of wearable, street inspired sports clothes (Pictured below).
 
Fashion Cosmopolitan Magazine, Issue No. 3, AW14
 
The two images below are from the most recent Limited Edition Fashion Cosmopolitan Magazine. I came across these images whilst I was in the middle of research the Chanel Coco Coach campaign and thought they were great examples of how fashion campaigns turn into trends and influence the public into buying into the trend. The images below feature a similar necklace chain to the one showcased in the Chanel AW14. Similarly, trainers that are part of the  Coco Coach collection are displayed in the magazine under the title 'Gym class heroes' which just goes to show how the fashion trend has already spread and influenced an audience into buying into the activewear fashion statement.

Overall, I really enjoyed looking into the fashion campaign. I really love urban inspired clothing and think that Chanel worked well to create a fun editorial campaign that has already begun to influence and inspire other. I think that the makeup for this look was subtle yet complimentary to the hair and makeup but for me, I would have liked to see something a little more edgy.

Trevor Sorbie's 'The scrunch'.
 
Trevor Sorbie says:
'One day I was extremely busy; I had three clients waiting, and was under a great deal of pressure. My next client had thick, red, porous, wavy hair and, of course, she wanted it finger-dried. Because of the backlog of clients, I asked her if I could speed up the process by adding heat. I found that by taking a handful of hair, squeezing it in my hand and applying heat, then allowing the hair to cool, I could create volume. I realised that I had inadvertently discovered a new method of drying. I experimented using this technique on all types and lengths of hair. Each time, even on the finest hair, I achieved incredible results, adding volume and texture I’d never seen before. Thus, scrunch drying, perhaps my greatest invention, was born.'
 
 
Charity Work
 
 'My new hair' is a charity launched by Trevor. The charity offers advice about wigs for people who have lost their hair due to illness and train hairstylists around the UK to cut the wigs into a realistic style. He started this charity after styling his sister in laws wig for her after she had lost her hair to chemotherapy. The charity teaches hairstylists how to cut wigs to look realistic by offering seminars in which all the proceeds go to the charity. Trevor Sorbie left salon hairdressing in order to spend all his time working with the charity.
 
 
His creative art team
 
Trevor Sorbie's creative art team are a team of experienced hairstylists who have worked in the salon for a period of time before having to perform an artistic hair test judged by Trevor in order to become a member of the team. The team members are regular involved in editorial and advertising work as well as working in the salons recreating the latest trends on their clients.
 
Johanna Cree Brown, a member of the creative art team, is the creative director for Trevor Sorbie as well as a salon and editorial hair stylist. Her work has been featured in Vogue UK, models.com and she has worked on numerous fashion weeks.
 
'Rhapsody in Blue' Hair by Johanna Cree Brown

Effie played by actress Elizabeth Banks. Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Johanna Cree Brown's work is truly inspiration. I love the futuristic and theatrical feel of the hairstyle she created above. The hairstyle compliments the eerie feel of the photograph and I think that it works well with the makeup created. The candy colour of the hair contrasts with the red lips but works together beautifully. The actual style of the hair is neat and well regimented around the shape of the models face. I really love how the blusher is a similar colour to the hair, this ensures the makeup does not overpower the hairstyle created. This pink hairstyle reminds me a lot of the character Effie from the film 'Hunger Games' as it shows some similarities to the design by Linda Flowers.
 
 Trevor Sorbie inspires me because he is a hairdressing pioneer. He created iconic and classic hair cuts and style techniques that revolutionised the hair industry. 'The wedge' was not only one of the most inventive hair cuts but it was the first hair cut to get a double page spread in Vogue magazine. Not only is he an extremely talented hairdresser, but he also inspires others to become inspirational themselves. His creative art team are a credit to the man they work for and hairstylists such as Johanna Cee Brown are expanding the hair industry by creating beautiful, sculptured hair that excites and inspires its audience. One of the most important things about Trevor Sorbie that inspires me is that he is an incredibly humble man. Although he is very successful, he has chosen to focus on his charity work in order to use his skills to help others in need. If it's one thing that I take from Trevor Sorbie's achievements, it's that you should never stop experimenting with ideas as they may just turn out to be something innovative.

Makeup Artist: Pat Mcgrath

Pat McGrath

An influential beauty and fashion makeup artist who really inspires me is Pat McGrath.

Makeup Artist Pat McGrath

Pat McGrath is an MBE and British makeup artist. She was born in Northampton, England and although she is one of the most influential makeup artists, she had no makeup training and actually studied a foundation art course. After being invited to Japan on tour with Soul II Soul singer Carol Wheeler, this opportunity led to her working with Edward Enninful (I-D magazine fashion editor at the time) and since then her career in makeup has spiralled into great success. Pat McGrath has worked on numerous fashion shows, worked on Advertising campaigns such as Prada, Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein, to name a few and is a regular featured in Vogue magazine. Her clientele includes famous celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Madonna and Scarlet Johansson.

The above image is a clear example of Pat McGrath's creativity. This beautiful vamp makeup look has been accentuated with sequins, studs and glitter and looks truly beautiful on the model. This look is one of my favourite pieces by Pat McGrath because it shows how she pushes herself as a makeup artist to not only create beautiful makeup, but to highlight the models natural beauty. The sequin detail around the eyes makes the models eyes pop and the graduation of colour starting with black sequins and ending in the clear sequins looks truly stunning. The porcelain complexion of the skin makes the eyes and lips the main focal point of the look and the pale colour really contrasts the makeup. Although this makeup was used for fashion, I really think that it would work well in an opera or ballet as a creative fashion twist. The look reminds me of the makeup from the film Black Swan, which was created by artist Judy Chin.

I chose Pat McGrath because I think that her individuality and creativity is something that has changed and is still changing the makeup industry. One of the most inspiring things about Pat McGrath is that she is self taught and had no makeup training. Looking at the work that she creates and how much she has developed as a makeup artist inspires me because it shows that with hard work and dedication you can achieve anything. Artists such as herself and Alex Box have revolutionised the industry by pushing the boundaries of makeup and making it an art form. Her talent for fantasy makeup is second to none and what I really love about her work is that she has introduced this type of makeup art into her fashion work which ultimately has strengthened the fashion industry and made it more exciting for people like me who are inspired by how fashion and makeup collaborate.

Hair Stylist: Joey Bevan

Joey Bevan

Joey Bevan is a professional fashion stylist, designer and hair stylist from Essex, London. He studied fashion at College and University before becoming a freelance artist. After being approached for Britain's Next Top Model Live 2010 & The Ideal Home Show 2011 during his first introductory fashion show, his success has spiralled and he has worked on Xfactor, Vogue IT, INSTYLE as well as working with artists such as The Saturday's, Jessie J, Kimberly Walsh and more. He has worked on music videos and editorials and also worked with companies such as Dior, D&G and Kryolan. Joey was commissioned to created 30 garments for the coronation festival in 2014 at Buckingham Palace where he was able to meet the Queen which is a  great achievement. Joey Bevan has recently involved himself in supporting the national movement Be Real which deals with body confidence and aims to change attitudes to body image. I think that this is really inspiring, especially for someone who works in this type of industry.
 
I was lucky enough to meet Joey at a Makeup Masterclass for the makeup brand Kryolan. What I love about the artist is how versatile he is. Although he is primarily a fashion stylist, I chose him as a hair stylist because I love how he unites fashion and hair together to create beautiful pieces of work. Some of my favourite pieces of his work are from the Kryolan makeup calendars as they show his creativity and innovative ideas.
 
Personal Image from the Kryolan 2015 Makeup Dreams calendar.
 
Joey regularly collaborates with Kryolan makeup artists such as Gemma Horner and Paul James Merchant to create inspirational designs. The above image is from the Kryolan 2015 Makeup Dreams calendar which I followed on social media as it was created. The hair and clothes were styled by Joey Bevan for this piece. I really love the 1920's feel of this look and think that the hair, makeup and clothes work together exceptionally. I really love the soft finger wave in the hair of the female model and also love how the hair is curled into place creating a flapper inspired look with a more modern twist. The golden colour of the models hair compliments the gold in the dress beautifully and works well with the highlighting in the makeup. I also love how Joey has acknowledged that in the 1920's, men predominantly wore their hair slicked back for formal wear and he has shown this in the calendar by choosing the right clothing to match the hair.
 
 
 
Image from the Kryolan 2014 calendar
 
 The above image shows one of Joey Bevan's more artistic hair ideas for the Kryolan Calendar 2014. It shows the model sporting a liquid looking hairstyle which was actually created using a bald cap and lip gloss formula. I really love this photograph and the idea for the hairstyle because I think it is very unique and oddly, really compliments the beautiful makeup that has been created. I think that the shine of the gloss flatters the highlighted areas of the face and does not draw the attention away from the clean, stunning makeup. What inspires me about Joey is that he creates looks that have never been attempted before and makes them work beautifully. Never before have I seen lip gloss being used to create hair and it just shows how versatile makeup really is and inspires me to think outside the box.
 
I think that Joey is an inspiration and credit to the fashion and makeup industry, not just because he creates imaginative and original hair designs but because he knows how to work as part of a team and how to collaborate with makeup artists to create beautiful pieces of work. I think that it is important as a makeup artist to broaden my skills not just in makeup, but in hair and fashion too so that I can grow as an artist and be involved in different areas. This is something that I think Joey does well and although he doesn't do makeup, he understands how to compliment it.

Makeup Artist: Bobbi Brown

Bobbi Brown
 
Bobbi Brown is a makeup artist and founder of the makeup brand Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. In 1991, Bobbi Brown introduced her first natural lipstick line in Bergdorf Goodman in New York. The lipsticks sold out within a day and led to Estee Lauder buying her company in 1995. Now, her products are sold in over 460 stores in 50 countries worldwide. She has written eight books about makeup and beauty including 'Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual' which I own. Her work has featured in
magazine such as Vogue, Elle and Self and she has created makeup for both London and New York fashion weeks. Her philosophy is based on a healthy lifestyle and making women look their most beautiful with the aid of makeup.

The above image shows beautiful makeup created by Bobbi Brown. What I love about this look is that the colours used really accentuate the models beauty. I really love the natural lip colour and blusher which compliments the models skin tone. The pure feel to this makeup is reflected in the eyebrows as they show a natural, flattering shape that matches the models hair colour and frame the face beautifully. The shimmering eye makeup is contrasting yet highlights the natural shape of the eyes and a minimal amount of mascara is used subtly to emphasis the eyelashes. I think that eyeliner is used in the waterline to make the eyes pop but no eyeliner is used on the upper lid in keeping with the natural look Bobbi Brown wants to portray. I really love this stunning makeup and I think it is typical of Bobbi Browns style.

Although I was aware of the Bobbi Brown Cosmetics line, I was not introduced to the makeup artist Bobbi Brown until I brought this book. I had just got into makeup and was looking for something to teach me the basics. Up until this point I had found no other book like this one. The book talks through basic skincare, eyes, eye shapes, foundation etc and just basically explains everything you need to know to get started as well as advice on getting into the industry. I really love this book and consider it my bible when it comes to makeup basics.
 
Bobbi Brown is one of my favourite makeup artists. What makes her unique to the industry is that she recognised what was missing in the market and developed her own products to enhance female beauty. At the time of her breakthrough, lipstick colours were artificial looking and greasy and Bobbi Brown acted to change that which in my opinion, makes her a pioneer. It is clear that her intent is to help others and with eight books out that teach the art of makeup application, she certainly inspires others of all ages. Although I find the creative makeups most exciting, I do believe that enhancing the face and getting beauty makeup correct is a hard process but is something that Bobbi does incredibly well. She knows what looks good on women and her invaluable knowledge on skin care and beauty is something that we can all learn from.

London & Milan AW14 trends

London Fashion week: Julien MacDonald AW14
 
One of my favourite makeup trends of the London fashion week was shown at Julien MacDonald. Julien McDonald is an OBE fashion designer from Wales.
 
The theme for Julien MacDonald's collection was gothic architecture with a glamorous twist and this was shown through a variety of stunning, floor length dresses that were heavily embellished with beautiful beads and mosaics. The venue, The Royal Court of Justice, a beautiful building situated in London, was the perfect venue to display these exciting pieces as the building reflected the theme of the fashion.

The makeup created for this collection was by the makeup artist Val Garland. Val Garland is an English born makeup artist who has worked with people such as Vivienne Westwood, Kate Moss and companies such as Vogue and I-D.
 
To compliment Julien's dress designs, Val Garland decided to make the eyes the focal point of the makeup look. Taking into consideration the gothic feel to the dresses, Val created a cathedral inspired stained glass window effect on the eyes using colours such as gold, teal and mauve to create an imaginative twist on the classic smokey eye. To achieve this eye look, Val used L'Oreal Colour Riche Quad in Midnight which as you can see from the photo are high pigmented and make the eyes pop. For the base of the skin Val used a matte foundation which she then made dewy with the help of glosses on the lips and cheeks. The eyebrows were kept natural in order to keep the eyes the focal point and no mascara or eyeliner was used.
 
Makeup by Val Garland.
 
For the hair, hairstylist James Pecis created a wet look to compliment the dewy makeup and shiny details of the dresses. The hair was wetted with hairspray and L'Oreal mousse then combed backwards and pinned at the sides, leaving a looser textured style on top. This style is reminiscent of the a similar style worn by Jennifer Lawrence at the Bafta awards 2013.
 
I really think that both the hair and makeup compliment the dress designs beautifully in this catwalk show. The edgy, glamorous feel of the dresses are mirrored in the wet hairstyles and dewy, eye catching makeup. I think having the sides of the hair pulled in creates a great shape and works well to establish the eye makeup as the main focal point. As well as this, having the hair pulled back allows the length of the dresses to be a main interest to the audience. Keeping the rest of the makeup soft allows the colours of the dresses to not be overpowered and compliments the eye makeup. The main colours of the dresses that were included in this show were silver, gold, black and gold and they worked well with the similar colours in the L'Oreal eyeshade palette.
 
I think this makeup look will inspired people to experiment more with playing with colours. A smokey eye does not have to be black or brown as Val Garland has shown and if I take anything from this show it's that bold colours can blend together beautifully to create a striking look. One of the main colours of this eye makeup design was blue. I think normally a stigma is placed around wearing blue eye shadow as people worry they cannot pull it off . AW14 has seen a number of shows presenting this bold eye colour. Christian  Dior, Prada, Kenzo and Anna Sui all included a blue eye in their shows so I think that the makeup industry is definitely trying to get rid of this fear.
 
Overall, I really enjoyed Julien MacDonald's AW14 collection and  particularly loved the dress designs. I think the hair, makeup and stylist team worked well to create a noteworthy show.

Milan fashion week: Gucci AW14
 
A loved makeup look from Milan fashion week was the much loved retro 60's inspired look from Gucci. Frida Giannini, the creative director of Gucci, showcased an array of 60's inspired fashion pieces and this was mirrored with the hair and makeup.

The clothes designs from Gucci for AW14 were very much inspired by the 1960's. The focus of this catwalk was centred on daywear and showed a variety of mod inspired clothing. The colours of the pieces ranged from black to pastel pinks and duck egg blues and were teamed with knee high boots in true 60's fashion. Other aspects of the clothes included trouser suits, fur coats and a random pair of boyish jeans. I really loved the above dresses from this collection, in particular the black dress as I think it is versatile and can be dressed up for a classic evening look.
 
Makeup Artist Pat McGrath creates a 60s inspired look.


To compliment this 60's inspired fashion look, international makeup artist Pat McGrath created a makeup look to match, using false lashes to replicate the classic 60's look. Pat kept the eye makeup subtle using a soft brown eye shadow instead of the classic white mod colour in order to subtly suggest the theme of the show. She accentuates the eyes with false lashes on the top and bottom lashes, in true Twiggy style. I love the eyelash look on this particular model because it makes the blue colour of her eyes stand out. Pat has heavily contoured under the cheekbone and kept the lips a lovely, nude colour. Natural brows are in for this look and they appear groomed and lightly filled. The hair accompanying this makeup was down and loose but with volume in the back to suggest a modern take on the 60s hairstyles.
 
 
Hair and Makeup for Gucci AW14
 
I really love this makeup look because I think Pat McGrath has successfully taken the 60s look and made it more modern, as Gucci has done with the clothes. Fake eyelashes were worn across a variety of catwalk shows including Prada and Rochas and I think this will definitely influence retail sales of false eyelashes. As this is a softer look, it is more wearable so is set to be a popular trend. I think the target audience for this look would be those of a younger generation as the look is more fun and youthful than mature. Companies like Eylure London have already caught onto this trend by selling top and bottom eyelash sets which can be used to mirror this look. Also, makeup brands have a variety of nude colours lipsticks which will certainly be a top buy this season. The great thing about this makeup is that because it consists of a natural colour scheme, any outfit can be worn to compliment it.
