THE ELEMENTS PHOTOSHOOT - PART 1 BEHIND THE SCENES

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.

Headmasters Creative Stylist David Fortune did the stunning hair styles for the models.  David has been working at one of Chesters top salons Headmasters for a year now, but has been hairdressing for nine years.  He trained at the Francessco Group and the images for this shoot are going to be used for his level four advanced diploma in hairdressing.

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!

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.

HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR INSPIRED PHOTO SHOOT WITH CLICK 79 PHOTOGRAPHY

This is another photo shoot that I have done with the talented photographer Lyndsay Roberts of Click 79 Photography.  Lyndsay is a 1st degree qualified photographer specialising in fashion, studio and wedding photography.  We all had a great time working on this Hollywood inspired photoshoot!

For the hair I decided on a up style that was sophisticated and elegant yet still looked contemporary.  Most of the time with make-up you would go with either strong eyes or strong lips, but there are times when you can get away with both.  This is the type of make-up when you can get away with both as it would usually be worn for a glamorous event in the evening.

SPACE NK CHESTER FAVOURITE PRODUCT CHALLENGE

I work with the most lovely ladies in Space NK Chester, so decided to set them a challenge!  I asked them to choose one product that is there ultimate favourite product in the store, you would think this would be easy, but if you think about all the amazing products and brands Space NK sell it is a very hard challenge!

Beauty Advisor - Amy Jones
Eve Lom -  Cleanser
For Amy's favourite product she picked Eve Lom's hero cleanser!
Amy says 'Eve Lom cleanser is one of my favourite skincare products.  It leaves my skin thoroughly cleansed unlike any other cleanser I have tried without a drying or tight feeling.  I love that I don't have to use a separate eye make-up remover as it effortlessly melts away even the smokiest of eye make-up.  I have also found it to be very balancing on my skin clearing up breakouts  and areas of congestion.  It also acts as an exfoliator and toner.  For me it turns cleansing into a luxurious and indulgent step in my skincare routine.  I will use it forever!' 

Store Manager - Jane Meeker
Diptique - Figuier Colour Sented Candle
I was not at all surprised that Jane picked a candle as she absolutely loves them and there is nothing she does not know about candles!  Here is what Jane has to sat about her favourite candle!
'Diptique to me shouts luxury and decadence.  I adore the candles especially figure which you can buy in a beautiful green glass jar.'

Beauty Advisor - Emily Jones
Kevyn Aucoin - The Celestial Powder in Candlelight
Emily says 'I love Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Powder because it gives a lovely glow to the skin.  Its great as it suits lots of different skin tones and gives a sheen to the cheekbone rather than a glitter effect.  It can instantly give your skin radiance and pick me up thats why its my favourite product in Space NK'

Assistant Store Manager - Diane Nicole
Oribe - Colour Shampoo & Conditioner
I let Diane have two favourite products as they do complement each other perfectly and this is why she loves them
'My favourite product is Oribe colour shampoo and conditioner as it revitalises your colour and keeps the hair looking shiny.  Gives you a just stepped out of the salon look and feel.' 

This might give you some good ideas for Christmas presents or what to put on your own Christmas list!
