MUA- L.F

MODEL- GEMMA

PHOTOGRAPHER- NATASCHA

I really enjoyed this shoot as I finally got to work with a 'real' model. Gemma (6ft odd) was so tall compared to me and Natascha (5ft 1 ish?). 

The eye make-up had a sixties inspired shape but I used brown tones to compliment her eyes and hair. I also 'corrected' her brows as they were quite over-plucked.

2 WEEKS...

Check out what I've been doing for the last 2 weeks here!

1920S..... ATTEMPT

Me with NA-DA. I also felt the need to hold up some masking tape to emphasise this. 

My brows are horrible!! And I hate how my face is so much darker then my chest area. Boo.

L.F with make-up!! Taken about 2 weeks ago?

Brows (and face) sorted-ish. Phew.

Colours are not very true to life here, especially the lip colour. 

"Heh, you wish!"

"WHAT,I've failed!!!"

Bad acting courtesy of L.F.

M.A.C Bad Fairy, 3 coats.

I don't think I managed to capture the authentic 1920s look here. Especially with the eye area (should droop more).

Always next time! And I will make more effort with the hair and costume.

L.F'S CURRENT FAVOURITES

 KRYOLAN- ANTI SHINE POWDER

This product ACTUALLY works! Thank-you Cami for the review. I was sceptical at first, since products usually claims x, y and x. But my battle with oily skin is so so so so much better now. I'd say 80% of my usual shine is gone. So check it out if you can.

 BOOTS BOTANICS- FACIAL LOOFAH

As well as having oily skin I also have the dreaded winter dry patches :( These "bad boys" (sooooo Gok Wan) gets rid of all those pesky bits. Just be gentle though as they can be rather abrasive!!

 M.A.C 217

Sorry 219. You were favourite.... but then this one- brush-does-it-all came along. BUY IT. NOW!

 MAYBELLINE DREAM MOUSSE BLUSH- 04 MAUVE

Want a blush that looks 'natural' and blends on like a dream? I love love love this blush especially buffed on straight after foundation. 

DOGEARED STERLING SILVER WHISPERS CROSS

I'm not usually a big jewelry wearer but apart from being inspired by Lollipop26, ASOS had a 20% code floating around. This is a early Christmas present for myself and I've not taken it off since I've bought it.

 p.s I'm not religious 

LUSH BIG SHAMPOO AND ANGELS ON BARE SKIN

I used to be a LUSH convert (3 years ago?) but then it slowly died down. BIG shampoo is seriously the best shampoo ever. Makes your hair so shiny (mine is super dull) and light and fluffy. This stuff lasts you a really long time and I use it everyday even though its suppose to be used weekly...ooops.

Angels On Bare Skin, I always go back to this. I think I've repurchased this 4 times now... which in my books means its pretty impressive. Not sure why I ever stopped using this but my skin went through a really bad phase and A.O.B.S calmed my skin down and I love it doesn't have all those harsh chemicals most cleansers have. 

BTW, this cleanser doesn't remove make-up, I use this to cleanse in the morning.

TOPSHOP 'BEAR' HAT 

Can't find it online but I'm sure they'll be loads knocking around in-store. £12. What a rip-off for a hat with ears. 

M.A.C PRO LONGWEAR SPF 10 FOUNDATION

Sorry its side-ways but I can't work out how to rotate it! As you can see from the very dirty nozzle. THIS STUFF ROCKS. HG worthy no-doubt. This stuff not only lasts the entire day (good for college/work etc), controls the 'oilies', good medium coverage and non-cakey. Recommend lots!!!!


Hope you liked my list, I will update with more favourites when I've tested out products thoroughly :)

GLUE STICK TO COVER BROWS

Hey guys! I'm back with a look for you. I'm currently on my half term break and have sooo much work to catch up on, I'm deliberately avoiding it - which won't help me one bit!

Anyway on Sunday I was forcing myself to do something creative or I wouldn't have anything for you guys and everything was just going pants so by the fifth time of starting again I had enough!

This look (from yesterday) was based from the make-up in the Dior/John Galliano shows. It's not based on any particular show. So its a mish-mash of all of them.

L.F RAMBLES - TRIP TO NEWCASTLE

The only semi-decent shot taken during the trip. This shot reminds me of London. 

Think I forgot to mention this but we had a reading week at college which was a week to go places/catch up on work. So me and A.J decided on a trip to Newcastle (Manchester was our initial plan).

View from BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, floor 4?

Cool shot! Ruined by my shakiness :(

Yay! I love finding things that says BIJOUX! Not sure what kind-of place that was but Pussy Galore was next to it..hmm.

HAUL! 

The temp' tattoos were from BALTIC. Do I need them? NO. Do I even like graffiti-style art? NO. Why did I buy them?! Because I felt the need to buy something from all the art galleries.. SHHH. I might use them during Halloween. They cost me £3.95 and the art is by Mr Dane. Woop.

The Barry M polish is that cracking one 'every ones' been talking about. I tried it yesterday but I wasn't feeling it. I'll give it another go soon.

Ring is from the Laing Art Gallery. I know its not to every ones taste, but its different! A.J picked this design out too. £9.90, pricey for me!

Highlight for me hahah! During our last few hours in Newcastle, I made A.J go into Fenwicks, which is basically a Selfridges. Anyway passed the M.A.C counter and spotted the postcards. MINE.

Nails for the week (I only paint them once a week as I work Friday and Saturday and they get wrecked!). The cut is from me attempting to cut a carrot in half...useless.

Essie- Mink Muffs

Most gormless face ever. After work so sorry if I look like a state. First time I tried on M.A.C's Revenge Is Sweet lipglass.

 Nice... but I doubt I would of bought it if it didn't have Maleficent on it. Sad. I know.

Video (HD, woo) of me and A.J summarising our trip. Watch if your extremly bored and my voice is horrible!!

Anyway, to sum up everything. I really like Newcastle! The city centre is basically a more spaced out version of Leeds. And I feel its more public friendly with most landmarks/galleries all within a walkable distance (from centre) - 10 mins max? I think i'll be returning again soon.... Whilst my sister still studies there (free lodging!!!).

L.C.A PHOTO HIGHLIGHTS FROM 17/08/10 - 08/10/10

Class 3 A/B

 Me and I.S

 L.H

In chronological order. 

Please note: these are only the 'highlights' of my time so far. None of the above work are 'finished' pieces but only my exploration in use of materials,concept etc.

The fundamental point we have been working to is that there is no such thing as a 'final' piece but rather every composition is a working development and is subject to change.
