We were inspired by the music and decided to get a few local dancers to be part of the visual ( Thank you Celeste and Wilson \ud83d\ude42 ) and booked the lovely Snow, from Q models to play our rockabilly\/muse. It was a ton of fun and I am really happy with the results.  For the beauty note, I used a variety of product, playing with colour and texture.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a shortlist of the products I used for this project: <\/p>\n<p>Boy:  <\/p>\n<p>For Snow, as she has the most luminescent skin to start with, I didn&#8217;t want to pretty it up too much. I really wanted a lived in feel, all smudgy and imperfect. I left her skin to breathe, keeping it powder free and glossy with a little <strong>Caudelie <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caudalie-usa.com\/site\/caudalie_cleanse_tone_beauty_elixir_lg.html\">Beauty elixir<\/a> spray<\/strong>. For any imperfections, I only used a touch of foundationr on Snow\u2019s skin (as it was almost perfect anyway!) I like <strong>Smashbox <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smashbox.com\/HIGH-DEFINITION-HEALTHY-FX-FOUNDATION\">High Definition FX foundation<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s lightweight and disappears into the skin. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Make Up For Ever\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeupforever.com\/products\/artistic\/12-flash-color-case.html\">Flash Colour<\/a><\/strong> palette is a tremendous source of inspiration for me and is my go-to product for almost everything. In this case, the black eye smudge, and touch of white highlight on her cheekbones, bridge of the nose and chin. I love this product because you can make it as transparent or opaque as you want. The control is amazing and it lasts and lasts.  For her lips and eyelids, I used a touch of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suvanabeauty.com\/products_lipbalm.html\">Suvana<\/a><\/strong> ( an incredible organic Australian PawPaw product) just to moisten those areas. This product, while not yet Stateside, will be very soon. I&#8217;ll keep you posted on it&#8217;s arrival!<\/p>\n<p>For Snow\u2019s hair, I wanted to create a quiff shape but instead of having a traditional look of  pulled back and sides, I wanted to add some interesting texture as well. After spraying with <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redken.com\/products\/styling\/heat-styling\/fabricate-03\n\">Fabricate<\/a><\/strong>, I chose to set the side and back sections the hair using large U pins wrapped figure eight style. The advantage of setting with the U pins is that I could then shape them to fit snugly against the head for a neat appearance. For the coif, I first prepped the hair with <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redken.com\/products\/haircare\/extreme\/extreme-cat-treatment\">Extreme re-reconstructing treatment<\/a><\/strong>. It gave Snow\u2019s delicate hair a nice sheen and smoothed the cuticle so I could control the textures later. Once I blew out the hair, I added some volume to the top section of hair by backcombing. I coiled the hair to create a quiff and pinned into place. I sprayed the hair with <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redken.com\/products\/styling\/texture\/wax-blast-10\">Waxblast 10<\/a><\/strong> and finished with <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redken.com\/products\/styling\/volume\/workforce-09\n\n\">Workforce 09 fexible volumizing spray<\/a><\/strong>. All styling products from <strong>Redken<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>Girl:<\/p>\n<p>Our girl character was the model to feature the clothes for the shoot. We wanted to play up her femininity and prettiness. I went very glamourous, building the look over four clothing changes. For my product I chose: <a href=\"http:\/\/tartecosmetics.com\/tarte-item-TEN-limited-edition-eyeshadow-palette\n\">Ten Limited edition Collector\u2019s palette<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/tartecosmetics.com\/tarte-item-emphaseyes-eyeliner \n\">Emphaseyes inner eye liner<\/a> both<strong> TARTE Cosmetics<\/strong>, <strong>TARTE COSMETICS<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/tartecosmetics.com\/tarte-item-the-eraser\">The eraser 4-in-1 natural concealer<\/a>, <strong>BURBERRY BEAUTY<\/strong> B<a href=\"http:\/\/shop.nordstrom.com\/s\/burberry-light-glow-natural-blush\/3118734?origin=category&#038;resultback=268\">urberry &#8216;Light Glow&#8217; Natural Blush No. 01 Russet Blush<\/a>, <strong>SMASHBOX<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smashbox.com\/JET-SET-WATERPROOF-EYE-LINER\"> Jet Set waterproof eyeliner in Jet black<\/a>, <strong>LANCOME<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lancome-usa.com\/Lipstick\/makeup-lipstick,default,sc.html?sz=8\n\n\">Colour Design in Red Haute<\/a>, topped with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lancome-usa.com\/La-Laque-Fever\/1000290,default,pd.html?dwvar_1000290_color=Captivating&#038;start=4&#038;cgid=makeup-lipstick\">LA LAQUE FEVER in Evening Splendor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For her hair, I went from a exaggerated 1940&#8217;s coif to a a huge height defying tower!. It was a lot of fun to do and with some help from some very reliable product, the changes went of easily. I used the product listed above as well as liberal amount of <strong>L&#8217;OREAL Elnett<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newlondonpharmacy.com\/categories\/21-styling_products\/products\/1752-loral_elnett_flexible_hold_extra_strength_hair_spray_-large\">Extra-Strength Flexible hold<\/a> (white can) This is only available States-side at <strong>New London Pharmacy<\/strong> in Chelsea, NY but I get mine in the UK when I am there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, I did a little fashion video for director\/photographer David McIntyre of Image Loading (www.imageloading.com) which was loosely based on the song Sweet Gene Vincent, by Ian Dury.
