L.F RAMBLES - IN ART COLLEGE

L.F's most latest work (these are just experiments)!

Hey guys just at college right now. I was going to upload a photo update for you guys but I have no patience to wait for blogger (too slow). I am thinking of uploading art college photos on this blog and my art blog but they will feature different work, so keep an eye out if you are interested. Anyway from one of my previous posts I told you I would be specialising soon.. it's in two weeks!! Still in two minds. So going to have to do some further research.. gah.

ALSO I have reached 16 followers (one is private)! Thank-you so much! I really value all of you and I'd like to think the followers I do have are following me for the right reasons ( you enjoy my work!!!). 4 more followers and my small giveaway will start.

Lastly, my friend A.J (fellow F.A.D student) has started a blog that's "about his time at art college as it goes on, the work produced, people who make it, strange anecdotes all written with poor grammar but funny none the less."  

A.J wrote as that as you can probably tell. But seriously he is really witty and way more funnier then I could ever be so IF you want, check out his self titled blog, Blog.

P.S I will most likely return to doing make-up looks in 2 weeks time, as I have 'a reading week' AKA half-term and hopefully my horrible cold sore will go (so rank).

L.F DOES A/W

I felt like a total alien in this make-up!!! 

Rounded eye with centre flash of metallic and glitter, brows semi-filled in, matte skin, heavy contouring and natural lips.

Wish the glitter would show up more!!!

Hey guys! This is the first of my A/W 2010/2011 looks for you guys, because A/W is my fav' season (season of the VAMP!). I really can't remember who inspired me and I was trying to dig out where I'd seen this look on before. I *think* its from one of the major fashion houses... sorry!!!!

This look really doesn't suit me as I think it makes my lids look really heavy.You can tone this down and make it wearable by just losing the glitter and less of the black.

Sound is out of sync but you can hear me talk about it!

ALSO EXCITING NEWS: I THINK I CAN UPLOAD VIDEOS FROM MY SLR (BIJOUX) CAMERA NOW, AS I MANAGED TO AT COLLEGE (HD QUALITY TOO)! FINGERS CROSSED!!!!

L.F RAMBLES - VIDEO ROUND UP

After college! Bare in mind I've had this make-up on for 9* hours or so!!!

Still love Stam, but she is such a 'classic' beauty.

Very insightful interview (3 part) into Box's creative mind.

I am guilty of 'skim-watching' videos (which I did to this awhile ago). Anyway during our specialist talks for the fashion segment they showed this collection in all its glory (we were in a cinema). And I pretty much blame this video for making my desire to do fashion come alive again. AMAZING. Loved the concept (poor model though!!!), garments, music and of course VIKTOR & ROLF!!!!!

From the Viktor & Rolf show (above), I've been listening to this song on repeat since Friday!!! I think this is the original not the remixed version though.

Love this song!

Me plugging Inception? AGAIN?! I think I have annoyed pretty much everyone around me with my love for the film. Anyway this song is my favourite from the film. So moving.

BOX IT

Hope you like it! I had a bad camera day so I really couldn't be bothered to keep trying, so these almost identical shots will have to do. I used M.A.C's face and body foundation and I don't love it photography wise on myself, but to be fair my skin is quite neglected atm... stress= breakouts :(

While I've still got the book I might do a couple more Alex Box inspired make-up..unless you guys are wanting some more tame things from me!

Apparently I've been at college for almost 6 weeks now? Which is crazy.... seems like I've just started! The work load is CRAZY!!! BIG-BIG-BIG jump from A-level. We've almost completed an additional drawing qualification (too lazy to go find out the actual name.. so lets just call it drawing qualification!). Which included 2 weeks of INTENSE drawing sessions which while I 'hated' (cause I'm rubbish) I did learn a heck of a lot. I really recommend anyone interested in art to do a foundation course before a degree. A-level art is nothing ( you don't get taught any skills)!!

Anyway speaking of college I really cannot decide on what to specialise in (I have 3 weeks? to decide). I am so torn on textiles ('art' by manipulating fabrics)/fashion (design of garments etc) vs graphics/illustration!!!!

I know in the past I've sworn to 'end' the fashion L.F within me but after the presentation talks (each leader talked about their specialist area) I couldn't help but mourn for textiles/fashion. I am not 'hardcore-fashion-know-it-all' but it is my passion- I always seek out/drawn to fashion designers. And I can spit out more designers then artists in other fields. BUT my mum really doesn't want me to do it. And has alliterated this since I finished a-levels with "anything but textiles". I am just infatuated with the designs, the whole 'vibe' and the fashion world... its just the making that kills it.

I LOVE BOTH!!!!

BOX IT- PREVIEW

ALEX BOX!

Hey guys! This is just a preview of the make-up I did tonight (currently missing True Blood because of this- thank-god for Channel 4 +1!

Anyway at college were allowed to help recommend books and I asked for Alex Box by Rankin.... and today I spotted it in the library- hurrah!

The book is breathtaking and I couldn't help but do a look inspired by her work.

All will be revealed soon (probably not worth the wait).

LIP

Left or right guys?! These photos also demonstrate how make-up can change the appearance of eye shapes. AND always remember to do your brows!! Look at the difference on me!!
