I've recently been obsessed with watching Eat Your Kimchi videos and stumbled across a video where Martina gets a makeover by the talented Saemmool Jung. Jung is responsible for doing all the famous K-pop stars, and even though I'm not familiar with that fandom, it's interesting to see what trends/styles/looks are popular on the other side. It might sound a bit 'weird', but even when I first started out with makeup, I never specifically hunted down looks or tutorials for Asian eyes etc. I just see make-up as make-up, and faces as faces... it doesn't really matter to me. BUT a lot of my Asian friends, tend to relate more to looks done on Asian models - which I can see why if you are unfamiliar with make-up. Anyway.... check out Jung's channel, she creates very beautiful faces and her videos are beautifully shot and edited.
I love how NARS shows us the production of their campaigns - from styling to on set. The make-up has a very decadent glamour edge..... so ready for fall!
Mary Greenwell creates an effortless chic look for day or night.
Define, contour and highlight - the best way to cheat yourself amazing face structure.
Need skincare advice or a new regime? Watch this video.
Bowie meets punk?
Fall trends we'll be sporting this fall by legendary Pat McGrath.
I actually first found out about Jack Teagle through NoBrow. I'm currently a bit obsessed with his work.This comic is my favourite by him, it's great.
For my current uni' project based on a cat character. Pretty happy to find this in the first charity shop I walked in. I ended up sitting in a coffee shop by the window reading this alone... I must of looked so COOL.
Me all 60s. It' pretty much the same as the look I did here, just less dramatic. I had fun but everyone had a more twiggy/Biba-esque look? Which was cool but I felt oddly out of place with my mod/N.Y interpretation. Weird looks in public too but that's OK.
So stunning. The eyeliner with the bare lashes, shimmering skin feature and those crystalised lips. J'adore Dior and Pat McGrath!
Fei Fei Sun rocking Italian Vogue. Yay for being the first ever lone Asian cover star for them too.
Peter Philips created this dark feathery goodness for Chanel. Romantic and Gothic. Yum.
So A/W is over but I'm still a fan for anything dramatic and it's fascinating to hear about Lloyd Simmonds creative process.
Red lips and a flick of eyeliner = CHANEL.
Music. LOVE this song. I've listened to this so much. Check out Phantogram!
Hey guys, 'proper' make-up soon, I promise! I've not done one of these videos from the pros for awhile so enjoy my list of favourites, recommend me some links too! It's nice to see make-up in motion instead of just prints sometimes. And a small mention to my house mate Tom, because I had no idea he read my blog. Hi Tom!
I LOVE this summer make-up campaign - very daring and opulent compared to the normal bronzed cheeks etc looks *yawn*. I'm getting 70s or 80s vibes? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Tutorial from pro Dick Page! I always love the pairing of golds and purples.
SEX KITTEN. That is all.
Modern real life Barbie's - 60s on pink acid.
You can always rely on Kabuki to create beautiful fantastical make-up. I've wanted to share this with you guys for ages.
Hey guys, another round up of make-up videos I've found whilst browsing YouTube.
The videos cover from everyday to more editorial work and 4 of these videos are tutorials by accomplished make-up artists which I think is pretty cool to see how they piece a look together.
If you have any recommendations, share on the comments section :)
More of an informative video. I think its great that more and more successful make-up artists are joining YouTube and sharing their knowledge to the masses. Huzzah.
I don't normally favourite make-up tutorials but this look is not only beautiful, the make-up artist gives some really good pointers. No comment on Burlesque.
I think you can tell when I first watched this video. Not just for festive season, the looks are really wearable and we get to see another pro' applying make-up!
Only discovered Chris last week and his videos are so funny.
Rocha rules. 'Models' take note. A pretty face isn't enough. You should be able to move in front of the camera without direction!
Here are some of my favourite videos that I like to reference back to:
My favourite clip of the behind the scenes action of François's book, 15X15.
I will admit I didn't know anything about the NARS history till a couple of weeks ago. But seriously, FRANCOIS NARS IS A LIVING GENIUS! And what I especially love about him is he still photographs all of his campaigns (it's been 15 years) and his reluctance to appear in the spotlight.
Marc Jacobs at his very best. This man is my idol... enough of Marc. This show got François out of runway retirement and boy did he impress with the 80's madness.
More Francois <3
I always anticipate for MAC's Halloween face charts and 2009 was the first time they made a video recording the transformations.
Pat McGrath is my favourite makeup artist of all time. Why? She's the most in demand make-up guru in the world. Effortlessly creating flawless natural faces at Stella McCartney to Christian Dior's extravagant couture looks. No-one compares. She's in a league of her own.
Another renowned artist and this video again makes me want to pursue a career in make-up artistry.
The lovely Lisa Eldrige who you may recognise from Ten Years Younger, her work for Boots N07 and her spreads in Glamour :)
I'm on a roll! Just more random info for budding make-up artists. I personally don't find finding inspiration that hard but I think that's down to being an art student. Apart from the traditional routes of looking through fashion/editorial magazines for ideas. YouTube is a very useful source as in most cases you can physically see the artists applying the make-up and get a better view of the full finished results.
