Some Of My Favourite Images From My Portfolio

Here is a selection of some of my favourite images from my portfolio head over to www.facebook.com/SEBmakeupartist I also have lots of blog posts, product reviews and tips on my page :))))

Alex Box and Rankin Book

I have been wanting this book in my little make up world for sometime now, ever since I saw it at Illamasqua’s counter in Selfridges about a year ago.

I am very happy to now have this book (courtesy of my partner for my birthday), I would say for any Make Up Artists or creative in the industry this is a must. At the moment it is a tad pricey on the Internet but it does go up and down in price, three months ago it was roughly £32 and now on Amazon it is priced at £500, which is a huge jump. But if you would like this book keep checking Amazon and other related sites as it will come down again.

The books quality is just amazing, and the quality of the content is even better, the book is quite large. It showcases all of Alex’s creative masterpieces, which are just fabulous reference points. She has some fantastic colourful images, which are very pleasing to the eye. Rankin also show cases some of his skills in the book, obviously his photography first but he also shows off his creative input for the editing as some of the images are digitally moved around on the models face. Which is quite interesting.

I have put together a few on my favourite images from the book; these are images I have not seen on google so I thought you might like to have a peep to

Colour Bomb Photo Shoot

Color Bomb Editorial Photo Shoot

I wanted to share these lovely images with you all.  I love the images from this photo shoot, this was shot by Daniel Sannwald for V Spain Magazine, this shoot portrays Fluorescent and pastels colours. A big favourite of mine. Pastel colours can look so effective and are great for adding texture.

 

Prada AW12 Optical Design

I came across Prada’s new collection for AW12 whilst I was flicking through my new Issue of Vogue Magazine. The fashion designers want the optical design to be worn head to toe, and they state it is a look best worn out in Sharp Suits and tailored coats.

Ok the optical design is very out there and loud, so to go with that the Make Up has to be loud and out there. This caught my eye instantly and it matched the outfits perfectly. I love the orange, black and purple combination, with the brows blocked out. Very effective.

I can see a recreation of this look coming up on my Blog soon :-)

The Perfect Eyebrow Shape

We all like to achieve a perfect classic brow, that defines your face and features.

Since studying the brow area at AOFM Make Up School, I have become a little obsessed with them. Any photo shoot I have, I have to say the brow is the main area I really look forward to working my magic on, I have had a couple of models laugh at me for this, which has been quite funny on a shoot.

Three simple steps determine the perfect eyebrow shape, please see below:

Firstly you will need a thin make up brush or something of a similar size, a pencil will also do the trick, you will need to position this at point A (See picture)  this is at the corner of the nose and the inner corner of the eye, this is were the eyebrow should start.

Then position the thin object at Point B (See picture) this is again at the corner of the nose (as above) but slightly move the thin object to the centre of the eye, this is were the highest part of the arch will be.

Then lastly position the object at Point C (See picture); this is again from the corner of the nose to the outer corner of the eye.  This is were the brow should end.

Now  you will have achieved your perfect brow shape. :-)

You can pencil in your brows with a brow pencil, one of my favourites is Rimmels Brow Pencil this lasts such a long time and give a great finish £2.99. I also use a Brow Kit, I use Benefit’s Brow Zinge Kit in shade medium £21, this has a wax substance and a shadow substance which you mix together.

A little handy tip I always always do is spray my brow comb/brush with a little hairspray then apply this to the brow, this keeps the hairs nicely in place all day, or alternatively you can use brow gel. MUA sell one for £1, this can be purchased in Superdrug stores.

The inserted picture of the three models is from my anerican edition vogue magazine, this really is all about the brows with the make up, and they look stunning. This is a fine example of a perfect brow.
