FASHION PHOTO SHOOT AT DELAMERE MANOR

Here are the final edits from the beautiful fashion photoshoot at events venue Delamere Manor in Cheshire.  Talented photographer Daniella McGreavy took the images of our gorgeous models Beth Dunning and Singer / Songwriter Molly Tilston and the stunning dresses were by BALTHAZAR / Gary Hayes

A close up of Beth showing her Hair & Make-up.
For Beth's hair I used the Babyliss Pro Perfect curl to create the lovely bouncy curls with Oribe Dry Texturizing spray for volume.
I used some Laura Mercier products on the skin including silk creme foundation, universal powder and secret camouflage concealer to create a flawless finish.  For contouring I used Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit and highlight on the cheekbones was one of my current favourite products Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Moonstone.  I wanted the eyes to be smokey but not too dramatic, for this I used the Semi-sweet chocolate bar palette by Too Faced. I used a gel liner for definition along the lashline which was Nars eye paint in black valley and finished the eye look with Red Cherry False lashes in 41 sundance.  For the lips I used two lip glosses Laura Mercier nectar and By Terry honeymoon kiss to create this lovely peachy colour.  Cheeks were an old classic colour Nars orgasm blusher

Here is the full length of Beth in one of BALTHAZAR by Gary Hayes Designs

The lovely Signer / Songwriter Molly Tilston
For Molly's hair it was a glamorous yet slightly messy look which was created with heated rollers, backcombing, lots of hairspray and again a favourite of mine Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray.
I used the same products as with Beth for Mollys skin as I am always confident with Laura Mercier base products that they photograph beautifully.  For the eyes I used all Matt shades from the Tarte tartlette palette with gel liner flicked out, which again was Nars eye pain in black valley.  I love this Nars gel liner as its such a true black.  False lashes are Red Cherry, but I didn't keep to container so not sure of the style.  Contouring was with the Anastasia Beverlry Hills Contour kit as its just so universal for every skin tone with highlight by Laura Mercier.  For lips I used Lipstick Queen Silver Screen nude lipstick You kid and Nars blusher in deep throat.

I changed Beth's make-up slightly to compliment this dress with Becca Ultimate Colour  Gloss in Palm Breeze and Lorac Satin blush in Velvet Rope.

EDITORIAL PHOTO SHOOT AT WILLINGTON HALL

Here are the final images photographed by the very talented photographer Daniella McGreavy at Willington Hall.

Our stunning model Beth's first shoot was a glamorous vintage inspired look!  I wanted the hair to be very glamorous for this so I went for a beautiful wavy style.  The key make-up products I used to create this look were Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Eye Palette in The Vintage Vamp and Kevyn Aucoin Lip Colour in Bloodroses!  For the skin I used a number of Laura Mercier products including Silk creme oil free foundation, universal powder, secret camouflage and secret concealer.   Beth wore a vintage style gold evening dress supplied by one of our stylists Jilly.

Andrew's first look for the shoot was very classic and sophisticated!  

Another look for Beth a 50s inspired look, but keeping it very current too.  I created a very sleek side bun on Beth and changed her lip colour to a a beautiful nude shade using By Terry rouge terribly lipstick in 100 and a little of Kevyn Aucoin The Lip Gloss in Dahliana.  The lovely false lashes are Ardell demi wispies.

Andrew has the most amazing bone structure and stunning eyes so we decided to do a edgy rock inspired look on him.  I used Laura Mercier silk creme oil free foundation with universal powder and Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit in the skin,  For the eyes used shades from the Urban Decay Vice 3 palette!  

Beth's third look was boho themed so I added some more peachy shades to the make-up that included a matt eyeshadow by Inglot and MAC blusher in Dainty!

Thank you so much to Willington Hall for letting us use such a beautiful venue for the photo shoot!  It was a fantastic day with a talented team!

EDITORIAL PHOTO SHOOT AT WILLINGTON HALL - BEHIND THE SCENES

This week I was part of a fabulous team doing an Editorial Photo Shoot at the Stunning Willington Hall in Tarporley.  Willington Hall was the perfect location for the shoot as it is the most stunning property right in the Cheshire Countryside.  It is also a lovely choice for a wedding, I actually did the hair and make-up for a wedding there a year back and the wedding looked truly magical!

I am getting the beautiful model Beth ready for her first look here,

While my friend and Hair & Make-up Assistant Amy Jones and I got the lovely Beth ready for the shoot, the rest of the team made a start on Model Andrew Kenwright's pictures.  Here is Stylist Jilly Shires, Photographer Daniella McGreavy, Model Andrew Kenwright and Stylist Fenella Shires all set to start the shoot!  We were so lucky with the weather as it was such a gorgeous day.

For Andrew's second look I did a rock inspired make-up. He has the most amazing cheekbones and eyes so he carried the look off perfectly!

Photographer Daniella McGreavy taking a close up of Beth.  Daniella is such a talented photographer and you can so see that it is not just a job for her which I think is so important in a job like photography.  I asked her to write a little bit about herself -

'I have always had a passion for photography. It started out as a hobby, photographing landscapes and animals. This quickly turned from a hobby into an obsession! It was at this point that I realised I wanted to start a business capturing the special moments. Since then I have completed a btec national diploma in photography and shot numerous weddings, Christining and other special events. No matter what the subject is, if it is special to you, I want to help make it a memory to treasure forever xxx'

I recently did the make-up for photo shoot inspired by the elements earth, water, wind and fire with Headmasters of Chester senior stylist David Fortune and  first degree qualified photographer Lyndsay Roberts of Click 79 Photography.  Here is a look behind the scenes at this shoot.

My make-up kit all set out ready to make up the beautiful models for the shoot

I did the make-up for the four models on this shoot each one representing one of the elements earth, wind, fire and water.  I love creating these looks for the shoot using vibrant colours, dramatic false lashes by Eldora and face gems.

ROCK CHIC INSPIRED PHOTO SHOOT WITH CLICK 79 PHOTOGRAPHY

For the second part of the day with Click 79 Photography we did a Rock chick inspired photo shoot.  For our first model Sophie I did a very strong cat eye with nude lips.  Sophie hair already was pretty rock chick so I pretty much kept the style and just added some texture to it!

Creating model Sophie's Rock Chic inspired make-up

For the second Rock Chick Petra I wanted to created a different look so I made the eyes very smoky with a deep plum lips.  The hair was styled with lots of volume and texture.
