Jag har haft mycket att göra nu en tid som denna. Förutom alla fina bröllopsuppdrag som jag fått äran att ta del utav denna våta regniga sommar, så har jag har haft full upp med min kurs för Val Garland också som är en fantastisk möjlighet. Vi har haft en del briefs som vi plåtat, bland annat för Vivviene Westwood, Preen, och nu en kampanj för Matthew Williamson. Förutom plåtningar och uppdrag så har vi fått ta del utav unik information om catwalk makeup och skillnaden ifrån Editorial. Portfolio och assistera och att ha en assistent och vad man skall förvänta sig. Branding, och agents är också något vi fått ta del utav. Så en massa matnyttig info för att ta sig vidare till nästa steg i karriären. Fortsätt läsa ”Aktiv till tusen”
New Briefs are coming my way
Now I have to choose between Vivienne Westwood and PREEN for the next breif on The Val Garland school of make up. This is a hard choice to do because I would love to do them both. There is no time for that. But I think it will be Vivienne Westwood who let me go out of the box even if she prefer No or little makeup. 😉
This is the Briefs from both of the designers.
New Challenges are coming up
First we got an offer to apply for Val´s second assistent. Her first assistant are leaving the nest and they who are interested from the course could apply for the job as her second assistant. Great job opportunity if you will go in to the industry of fashion this way. Of course I applied and hope for the best.
Yesterday the Mastered offered a job opportunity with Sam McKnight in the end of July in London. This is a photoshoot and a collaboration with Sam and 2 other MakeupArtists from the course. First a Catwalk shows there 3 models will be fixed and filmed, then an Beauty editorial shoot, Fashion editorial shoot and finally an Campaign shoot. What a great possibility to do a fabulous job and create contacts for the future. This is what I want right now. I haven´t been to London before so why not smash two things together. 🙂
Cover för magasinet Sidelines
Lägger här upp en länk till det magasinet som fantastiskt duktiga Rickard Johansson på studio-e plåtade i -18 grader en fin vit vinterdag. Jag har gjort både hår och makeup på den här bilden.

Jag hoppas på att få ta del utav bilden av fotografen för att lägga den i porfolion 🙂
Möhippan Karin
Idag fick jag nöjet att träffa den blivande bruden Karin och alla hennes vänninor. Mycket trevligt tjej gäng. Hennes vän Malin hade bokat mig till möhippan, tanken var ju att jag skulle lägga en fest makeup. Det jag inte visste var att hon även skulle fotograferas, så det kom som en överraskning. Men som tur var är man ständigt redo för överraskningar. Jag la en Air brush foundation som pricken över Iiiét, och det räddade väl den där plåtningen hoppas jag 🙂 Karin fick en lila/ grå skuggning med en skimmer skugga i ögonvrån. Tyvärr som vanligt så har jag ju inte kameran redo och kan visa slutresultatet. Men jag hoppas att hon blev riktigt nöjd och att hon får en fantastisk oförglömlig kväll med vännorna.
Booking Wedding Makeup & Hair
Planning a wedding takes some serious organization and preparation. Every vendor you’ll be speaking to will have a different point of view as to when you should be booking their services. Today, I’m going to cover the true facts about timelines for booking your wedding day makeup and hair.
The reality is a lot of couples get married during the months of April through to October. Some weekends during these peak months are more popular than others, in particular long weekends. However in general, any successful vendor in the wedding industry will be busy during high season months. Saturdays are still the most popular day of the week for weddings but Fridays and Sundays are also becoming the new standard.
From my experience, a lot of brides start looking for a makeup artist and/or a hairstylist too late and they become alarmed when they call or email and realize the artist they really want is already booked and probably has been for several months. I’m sure I’m not alone when I say it’s very upsetting to get these types of calls from brides – you can hear the panic in their voice and it really breaks my heart to have to turn them away. What you really don’t want as a bride is to get to this place!
The farther ahead you book your wedding day makeup and hair services the better.
Fact Number 1: You should book your makeup artist and hair stylist a minimum of 6 – 9 months in advance of your wedding day. DO NOT book your makeup/hair trial only and assume your wedding date is secure. Never assume your wedding date is secure until you have it writing. Most makeup/hair vendors will not hold wedding dates without a deposit so you need to fully understand all the terms and conditions of your wedding makeup/hair vendor BEFORE booking with them.
Fact Number 2: Brides who are getting married on long weekends need to book a makeup/hair artist a minimum of a year in advance. Brides who are getting married out of province/state/country should book services a minimum of 18 months in advance. Some makeup/hair artists will put a limit on how many destination type weddings they will do in a year. Know this ahead of time and book early.
Fact Number 3: ”In demand” makeup and hair vendors receive numerous phone calls and emails everyday with inquiries from photographers, businesses, other vendors and brides. It’s advisable to start your relationship with your makeup/hair vendor early on with clear, concise communication. Be transparent – convey to your vendor what you want from them in a clear courteous manner. Ask and you shall receive!
Fact Number 4: It’s important to note that successful makeup artists and hairstylists work in several different areas in the beauty industry, including commercial/advertising, fashion and print work so they are kept busy all year long. They may also provide makeup and hair for prom’s, special occasions, makeup lessons, classes and so on. May and June are the busy months for prom’s and graduation events. The busiest time for wedding makeup and hair trials is January through to March. Some makeup/hair artists will limit wedding makeup and hair trials to weekdays and weekday evenings – know this ahead of time by inquiring with them and plan accordingly.
For all those getting married in 2013 – 2014, start planning your bridal beauty now! : )
