I can not think of a better opportunity than now to talk about the best experience in my carrier as a Make up Artist so far.
I just came back from London after taking Vintage Glamour Course at Illamasqua School of Make Up Art and I just loved it!
New people, new products, new textures...and it all combined into new knowledge. I can not wait to experiment with all the products I've bought (believe it or not I would take one of everything if I could) applying all new I've learned and making it wearable for everyday life.
But the best part of it all is the fact I got to spend 3 days with people who are like me! We have one major thing in common and it is our passion for Make up. It had no difference where are you from, how good or bad your English is....Everybody understood and shared each others interest. We wanted to learn how make up transformed into what it is now and WE DID!
We started from 1920's where Great Depression, silent movies and the fact that make up just only became available to women played significant role in what we could see on a woman face of that era.
I had great pleasure to be a model for that era. And believe it or not but had a funniest time walking around London Soho with half of my face done...People would stare, laugh, frown...it did not matter!
After lunch we had to practice what we were shown...It was not easy as you'd imagine but when you succeed it does feel great.
Thank you to lovely teacher, Ben, he had patience to guide everyone of us and we all did fantastic.
Next we moved on to 1930's where Depression look has been removed by happy faces and where starting point for Glamour of 1950's ...
You can see how eyebrows can change your whole appearance in seconds...Amazing!
1940's were a transition period for 1950's glamour.
We had an amazing model for 1950's Andrea De La Cruz she is a young Make up Artist from California. Has a beautiful face and very good skills. But when Ben did a tutorial make up on her you could instantly see an inner diva to appear. She had a vintage dress on and glamour make up would through us back to the era...
Just stunning!
Check out my lovely Irish Model Aisling she rocked the 50's look:
Every day at this course was filed with inspirations and explanations about why and how the make up would progress with time.
1960's, 1970's and 1980' even little catch up on 1990's were like an amazing journey. We all from different places of our planet took together and enjoyed every single bit of it.
Twiggy anyone?
We all have an absolute 1960's on our faces and there is no matter what colour is your skin or where on Earth are you from )))
1970's were a very Disco Diva era and I got to play a role:
And shocking 1980's. Thank you to my lovely model Francesca Epinati she made my life so easy.
Different subcultures did emerge in 1980's:
The main look did pull of Madonna. It is an iconic look you'll go too in order to replicate the 80's
Such an experience! So many lovely people! Wish I've gotten all contacts. Hope we'll keep in touch and show the world how it's done!
This is only the beginning! I wish all the best to all people and hope to see you all again soon!
Look out for swatches and new make up looks ;)
