 - Bodypainting for Kart masters

A very early morning(some would say night) and with only a few hours to paint,thankfully I had some brilliant help from my lovely assistant for the day Aimee Garner.  We painted quicker that we had ever painted before to create the illusion of shorts and tshirts full of Kartmaster logos, ready for models to strut their stuff on the Kart grid in Grantham.

 

June

In amongst busy wedding weekends I got a last minute phone call from make-up artists looking for help with 18th century wigs and hair for the pilot of a drama of the Highwayman and the Duchess.  Set in a beautiful location in Rutland I worked for a few days with Emily Jane and Rebecca Yates to create some BIG hair and powdery pale faces.

Gok's Fashion fix

I recently joined the crew backstage on Goks fashion fix.  I have been doing make-up for Brix Smith start, some of you may recognize as gok's fellow presenter and competitor for High street v's Designer.  I am excited to be working with Brix again next week in Newcastle and up North for more filming.

November 2010 - A busy month!!

So I have been keeping busy with editorial work this month, now that wedding season is over for the year.  See below images from the latest 69 degrees magazine.  Hair was done by the talented Shelley Manley along with make-up by me and creative Styling by Ava Arias.  What a freezing days photo shoot! but pleased with photos taken at Rutland water of beautiful Boss model Chloe Applewhite.  Photos were taken by Chris Denner with a race against time to catch the perfect shot before the sun set on the early winter afternoon.
