Delighted to design a 3 day Master class for Jessica. 2 days concentrating on a new skill set - HAIR.
I completely put myself in an artists shows when she comes to me explaining her fear of styling hair - for the first 5 years in my career I feared it, but knew I had to master it and to master something you must understand it - then everything starts to click into place.
I have developed a wonderful step by step class for beginners that enables them to fully understand each stage and I can soon start to see where their strong areas and weak areas are and can adjust the teachings accordingly - its so wonderful to watch the artist start to digest the moves, usually within the first 30 minutes, and subtle confidence starts to bloom...
This class was based on the following:
Prepping/hair type/sectioning/products/face shape/back brushing/curling options/blow dry/volume/down styles/half up styles/up styles/pining/looking at styling the hair line onto/off face.
A key in all these stages is also to show an artist how she can go from one look to the next and the next - essential for work with any photographer!
The main aim for this class was for Jessica to be able to understand the fundamental aspects to hair, to find her passion here, and to see the results that come when working with my one to one techniques. She could then show case her 'mastering' with her make-up at the 3rd day which is the PORTFOLIO shoot day. Thanks to our
One of my favourite shots of all time - stunning, and a real talking point in any artists portfolio.
Striking! I wanted Jessica to perfect her symmetry and to create 2 characters
A little burnt Orange on the lips for this 'quick change'.
Clean lines were the goal here...perfect!
This was just captured naturally using the natural light mid conversation on a break - love art!
All about the eyes here and added to the strength Jessica then added for the last few shots the Fushia hot pink lip
Flawless base - key to any artist / Hair tamed, curls accentuated
Hair then placed up and lips taken down
Bridal or how I prefer to call this look and style: Red carpet elegance
Hair remains the same but make-up is changed into warm bronze tones to completely change the feel
Natural Flawless Beauty Make-up is my signature teachings - then I show how you build up a look - subtle lips and eyes added
Jessica adding MAC 'Girl About Town' lipstick for that hit of colour under darker moodier lighting
2 incredible professional models and the all important photographer.
