This is part two of my blog on a bridal photo shoot I did the hair and make-up for at
Chirk Castle this year. For this shoot the photographer
Caroline White and wedding planner
Andrea Swift wanted a complete contract from the first shoot so they came up with the theme of 'Arabian Nights'.
By using pearls, diamontes, dramatic false lashes with the make-up and hair peices and fresh flowers in model Fallons hair, I was able to create a avant garde look for this bridal shoot.
For the make-up I used Laura Mercier silk cream foundation, I use this a lot on photo shoots as it creates a flawless look for the skin. I then applied Make-up Forever camouflage cream where needed on the skin and underneath the eyes. For the eyes I started with Nars eye primer and used a number of MAC eye shadows in carbon, white frost, vanilla and electra. Black liner was essential for this look, so I used Shu Uemura gel liner in black. Fallon had two sets of false lashes on having the more dramatic lashes on the bottom with black diamantes from the outer corner to the eye brow. The eye brows were strongly defined with pearls applied to the top of the eye brow. I used MAC raizin powder blush on the cheeks, this is a very strong cheek colour. For the lips I used Lipstick Queen lip liner in red and then applied a beautiful red lip colour by By Terry number 302.
The hair needed to be dramatic for this shoot, but not so dramatic that it took away from the make-up, so I decided that I would take Fallons hair completely off her face. I created a high texturised bun with added hair extensions for lots of volume. I also used the hair extensions to create some plats to weave into the bun. I needed a strong hair spray for this so went for Tresemme Firm Hold, Frederick Fekkai advanced brilliand glossing mist was sprayed all over for super shine and then fresh flowers were place into the bun.
I changed the hair slightly for a different look by taking the flowers out and adding a beautiful hair accessoy from
