Photo shoot 28/7/10

Today we had the photo shoot and it went amazingly well, other than the constant walking all over the country side!

It was a lot of fun and we've got some great photos out of it for Panic Plastic Productions, my EPQ and this blog!

Ellis our model was brilliant and great to work with, as was the fantastic photographer Josh White.

Very tired now so I need some sleep, check out the photos and behind the scenes photos on my pages >>

more pictures to be added during the summer!

this is my favourite picture from the shoot :)

Photo shoot.

A good friend of mine runs a website for scouting actors/dancers/models etc. and privately run art groups, who specialise in film making http://panicplastic.weebly.com/.

He has kindly asked me to do the make-up for a photo shoot, featuring one of the actors from the site, she is also a close friend :)

I've packed and cleaned all my products, and separated them into different labelled boxes, and washed all my brushes and packed them into my brush belt, I'm ready to go!

Just got to pick up hand sanitizer and baby-wipes in the morning before I go off to a remote part of the country side near a church, apparently.

I will also be putting up the photos from the shoot up here on my blog :)

Also, here's a link to my polyvore profile

work work work.

For the past two days, I've sat in David's bed researching for my EPQ, this is a part of my college work, where you choose a subject/topic to research and you go away by yourself and build a portfolio on it.

Naturally I have chosen make-up, but more specifically make-up for performance, and will be doing photo shoots throughout the process of this piece of work.

The research is taking me a long time, and it basically consists of me going onto my favourite artist's websites and blogs, and then writing about them.

Most of my favourite artists have a YouTube channel which will help me out a lot, as also I would like to start up my own YouTube channel for make-up and vlogs.

I have my birthday on the same day as my cousin's wedding, which is in exactly a week, which will also be the day I get my new camera so I can get the ball rolling with some make-up photos! Also I'll be posting pictures from the wedding :)

Today I finally got to see a very old friend of mine, we have been friends for years and it was great to catch up!

We had lunch with my fiancée and paid too much for bad service!

Overall a hilarious day, marma like :)

Review: Rimmel's Instant Tan Face & Body Make-up

I've been using the instant tan lately rather than full on fake tan for the summer, as I prefer to be able to wash off any mistakes in the shower easily!

I also like that it doesn't leave that biscuit-y fake tan smell on my skin, and that you can see where you're applying it, and how much.

Another instant tan I have used the Sublime Bronze Gel, which I hate, unless you want irremovable glitter on your hands and face, this product is not for you, it claims to have an 'illuminating effect' which does just mean chunky glitter everywhere, on the positive side, I did like the colour for my face as it was natural looking, and not orange but I still couldn't stand the glitter.

The downfall of the Rimmel tan is that I have only found it in 2 colours, one is very light, and as daunting as it looks when it's just come out the bottle, it's not very dark once rubbed into the skin, the other shade (medium matte) I have tried it incredibly dark, and after a lot of scrubbing and hot soapy water, it has stained my hands a weird brown/purple colour, bad times.

Overall though I'm enjoying using the Rimmel instant tan also because, it's quick drying and has no funny smell! overall 4/5

rain rain rain :(

Sitting in bed with my cat sleeping on my knees, listening to the rain hit my windows, you'd never believe it was mid July.

I've had to cancel walking into town to meet up with an old friend and go shopping for one of my favourite things, stationary.

I need to buy all new folders/pads and a little organiser book for my new year at college, I do love the smell of fresh, unused note books...

I am also wanting to buy the famous MAC Fix + I have been meaning to purchase it for years and never got round to it with the spare cash, I like the idea of something that will moisturise my skin before any make up, fix the make up in place, but also you can spritz it over your face during the day to 'freshen up' your face, cool you down, or it can even be used in your hair to give it shine and moisture!

I'm also flicking through facebook pictures, and found a girl with an electric blue eye shadow, taken above the crease, using what looks like a sponge applicator by the finished edge of it, with no foundation what so ever, the make up artist in me screams out when I see photos like this!

Well it's gone 11 and I need to get ready for some friends coming to the house,
