I go to London every week but it is always work related and I never get the time to do tourist things like wander around the parks and see places like Buckingham palace...
So on Saturday, Jim and I decided to do exactly that :)
If you are subscribed to this lovely blog of mine then you will have received my newsletter this morning...
In the newsletter I told you what I had been up to during last week and how I worked as the make-up artist on a video shoot for TRESemme.
The shoot was at a really cool location in Stoke Newington. It was actually where the first couple of series of Dragons Den (a TV show in the UK) was filmed so I found it very interesting looking around the place!
I had a great day, a long day shooting is always made much more fun and easier if you have an amazing team like we did. I got along with the hairdresser Matthew Curtis really well, I also thought his assistant Harry was lovely.
So I know you are all going to ask...when can you see the finished video and what makeup did I use on the model! Well, I am unsure of when the video will be live on the TRESemme site, but I can tell you which products I used.
TRESemme were shooting 4 different how to videos so we started off with a more natural makeup then as the final video was quite a rock chick inspired hairstyle I added a red lip and a little more eyeliner.
The products...
Chanel pro lumiere
Mac studio finish concealer
Mac Satin Taupe eyeshadow
Mac Mystery eyeshadow
Bourjois mascara
Mac Blot powder
Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow Radiance Creme
Mac Love Nectar gloss (for the natural looks)
Mac Cockney lipstick (for the rock chick look)
Mac Brick lipliner
For the life of me I cannot remember which blush I used, but it was something very natural and no bronzer.
All these products are kit staples for me that I can rely on to do their job and work under camera lights and flashes.
I hope this post has been interesting for you all, please let me know if you would like to see more of this sort of thing!
