HUNKERMOLLER UK LAUNCH EVENT - MILLENIUM BRIDGE LONDON

Today me and my team were up bright with and early with The Retail Practice to prepare 12 models in hair and makeup for lingerie brand Hunkermoller's UK launch event on Millennium Bridge in London!

We set up our dressing room at The Fashion Retail Academy to get the models ready. The makeup look was effortless glamour, with rose gold shimmery eyeshadow, smoky eyeliner and full lashes. Skin was golden and glowing with a flawless finish. Hair was styled with a soft bouncy wave and subtle volume.

Check out the behind the scenes video to see what happened!

BRITISH HAIR AWARDS 2015 - Finalist Collection: Angelo Vallillo @ Zullo & Holland

This year I worked on a hair collection with Angelo Vallillo & his team at Zullo & Holland in Nottingham. For the last two years running, Angelo has won Eastern Hairdresser of the Year, which is an amazing achievement for himself and for everyone involved in the creation of the collections - including photographer Richard Miles and the team at Zullo & Holland - (Amy Taylor, Simon Tuckwell, Shireen Zanjani, Romano Zullo, Sue Comery, Charlotte Willey, Derek Rae, Alex Leonard, Grace Bowering)

Since then, both of the 2013 & 2014 collections have been published throughout print magazines, online magazines, blogs and social media websites worldwide - we made the cover of Hairdressers Journal, Hair Now, Les Nouvelles Esthetiques and Institute Magazine. We also got editorial spreads and image features in Professional Hairdresser Magazine, Fellowship Magazine, Hair Now, Estetica, Hair's How, Loop, Salon Business, Top Hair, Tribute Magazine & more.

We gained a lot of attention with our first collection in 2013 because it was so striking and different. As a creative makeup artist, I love pushing the boundaries to create something refreshing and new. In this collection, instead of clothing or jewellery, I created a black feathered body paint look which worked really well with the total look and image - adding bold & dramatic detail but keeping the focus on the hair.

Models: Roseanna Velin, Kayt Webster-Brown, India Lownds, Elizabeth Bishop, Michaela Ireland, Katy-Ruth, Ellisson.

In the 2014 collection, we wanted consistency in terms of strength of image & style but we also wanted to progress and bring this collection forward. This time, with the makeup, I decided to go for a glossy wet look finish, which you will find across a lot of my creative work. I loved how this contrasted against the dry, matte hair textures and dark background.

Models: Roseanna Velin, India Lownds, Anna Rae, Charlie Barker, Laura Kendall, Madga Jakubik.

In the 2015 collection, again we wanted our signature artistic style to shine strongly through the images. For the makeup I decided to play with graphic lines and 'painted' textures. The final images look great and are completely different to what we've done before. Here's an exclusive behind the scenes video from the photo-shoot. Enjoy!

BRITISH HAIR AWARDS 2015 Finalist Collection: Daniel Granger Hairdressing

This year I worked with Daniel Granger and his team (Chloe Hunter, Lucy King, Adam Haines, Emma Holmes, Will Lamb) in Northampton on their British Hair Awards Collection. We had a great shoot over two days with photographer Dan Thomas & assistant Jordan Leigh Russell. We also had videographer (and photographer) Mark Kidsley there capturing all of the looks in an exclusive behind the scenes video.

Daniel Granger's BRITISH HAIR AWARDS 2015 Finalist Collection. Makeup by Roseanna Velin London, Video by Mark Kidsley. Photography by Dan Thomas. Models Pia Cruz, Gina Harrison, Ariana London, Pip Phillips, India Lownds, Nicole Cataldo-Davies.

For the makeup look, we decided to go with a strong graphic eyeliner contrasted with nude skin and nude lips. I also added a "freckled' look to the models skin, which I think worked really well with the total look.  

The collection made it into the final. I think this collection is really strong and I'm so glad to have been part of it. I'm really looking forward to seeing who wins! Here are a few screen shots from Mark's video to show some of the makeup close ups. Full photographic collection coming soon...

BRITISH HAIR AWARDS 2015 finalist Caroline Sanderson & Claire McIntyre @ Ego Hair Design Inverness

Models: Annah Rae, Stacey Hannant, Inida Lownds, Tanya Kravchuk.

This year I had the pleasure of working with Caroline Sanderson & Claire McIntyre and their team: Carla Zebrowskim Craig Markey and Diana Morrison from Ego Hair Design in Inverness, Scotland on their British Hair Awards Collection with photographer Richard Miles.

Caroline also has her own cosmetics line, Tartan Minerals which I used to create all of the makeup looks in the collection. Tartan Minerals is a bespoke natural organic, vegan mineral makeup brand with no animal testing - something I strongly support! I was very impressed with the quality and strength of pigments of the makeup (which is important for a professional makeup artist) and would definitely recommend them if you are looking to update your kit!

The theme of the shoot was grungy, industrial, punk which is everything I love. I really enjoyed working on this collection, we had a great team with a strong vision. The images were shot in colour and converted to black & white for the competition entry. I've added the colour images below to show off the makeup looks and hair colouring.

The collection has made it into the British Hairdressing Awards final, winners will be announced in November... best of luck!
