Make-up Artist

I met Kristina in a bar/restaurant in Mayfair so we could chat over tea and cake. When she arrived she was immaculately dressed in a grey fitted blazer which Kristina made herself. Her hair was sophisticatedly pulled back into a ponytail and finished off with a retro pair of purple sunglasses.

She was also working part time in fashion related jobs but landed a position in a high end clothing boutique in Bournemouth. The owner was impressed with Kristina’s creativity and she promoted Kristina to Assistant Buyer and would send her to London quite often to buy stock. The city was where Kristina knew

ver a coffee and tea Kristina explained how she knew that she wanted to be a Make-up Artist. Her first insight into make-up was when her Mum would “put on her face”. She explained that she feels that older generations have a different approach to skin care and make-up and take more time with their appearance and looking after their skin. Kristina is originally from Bournemouth and was always quite creative at school. She wanted to be an actress and studied performing arts at Bournemouth and Pool College but here it was were she realised that she preferred to be on the other end of the make-up brush. Whilst she was attending her full time course she attended an evening make-up class which taught her the basics.

She wanted to be and so she took a 6 week intensive course in make-up in the heart of London which gave her lots of experience. It was on this course that she got the fantastic opportunity to assist Jemma Kidd and Ginni Bogado. Luckily for Kristina her course allowed her to have professional photographs of her work to take with her and start her portfolio. She advises to always check what you will get out the course at the end and photographs to start your portfolio are brilliant opportunities. From there Kristina made loads of contacts in the industry and set about contacting agencies with her portfolio. Kristina explained that you have to “harass” the agencies as this will keep you fresh in their mind for up and coming jobs and also to show that you are serious about wanting to assist as they get

many emails and calls each day from girls wanting to be a Makeup Artist she laughs as she says this and said that she would email agencies asking if they needed and help and then would follow up with a phone call. She advises new Make-up Artists to keep their portfolio updated and to create a network of photographers, hair stylists, etc. so that you can build a relationship with them and start sharing work with each other. Most of this will be free but you gain stunning photographs for your portfolio. Krisitna’s first assisting job was with Ginni Bogado on a Dorothy Perkins campaign and then on to helping assist Jemma Kidd on a Jasper Conran show. She explained that as an assistant you can’t expect to go in and start applying make-up, you will get jobs like cleaning brushes and doing the tea run but says this is all good experience and learnt a lot from observing other artists. Krisitna made her way into the M.A.C team and started part time work on the counter in Croydon but shortly got moved to the counter in Selfridge’s. Here she learnt a lot, got loads of experience and experimented with her creativity. Although the job was part time Kristina was finding is difficult to fit in assisting as well and so got a job in the evening so she could assist more during the day. I asked Kristina if there were any embarrassing moments in her career. She remembers once on a fashion show the male models were wearing tight, pink short and she had to moisturise their bodies. She laughs and said its embarrassing but good fun at the same time. In Kristina’s make-up kit she cannot live without her brushes but her favourite is the mini fan brush for applying mascara. She says its great as you can get right into the roots with it which is helpful when models have very light lashes. Apart from all the great things about Kristina’s job there are always some negative parts. She remembers once at London Fashion Week a model was so exhausted from the shows that she was extremely rude and moody and would keep falling asleep whilst she was applying the make-up. On these occasions it is good to have a thick skin and not to take things personally. Kristina’s first brush with celebrities came at the age of 20 where she was the artist for Hinda Hicks’ video “Up Up”. Since then Kristina has worked with the likes of Shy FX, Akala, The Streets, Alpha Beat, Akon, 50 Cent, Trevor Nelson on MTV’s The Lick, Da Brat, Jamelia, Jenny Frost and many others. Kristina has toured with Ms Dynamite as her Make-up Artist for charity events and major concerts. Kristina has also worked for many television programmes such as Britains Next Top Model, Brit Awards, Paul O’ Grady how, Clothes Show live, TMF and MTV. Kristina also got the chance to help assist Liz Martins from Naked Artist who was the Make-up Artist for Girls Aloud. She explained that she was not really fazed by celebrities as they are just normal people. Her advice was to not over step your mark and try and be their mate but to wait until they make conversation and then build up a relationship with them and for them to learn to trust you. The same advice goes to assisting other artists, make a relationship with the artist you are assisting do not going in thinking you are going to get to do the make-up. Another piece of advice from Kristina is to “never say no”. She was asked once if she could put a tattoo on a models arm, she had no idea but said yes and it turned out brilliant as you can see from the photograph. Krisitina’s inspiration comes from different cultures, walks of life and the way people express themselves not only through make-up and fashion but through dance and other ways. Kristina is due to teach at Make-up Artist’s Ginni Bogado and Astra’s new professional make-up school in Covent Garden called Rouge Make-up School. Exceptional training from artists who are still currently working in the industry. You can contact Kristina on info@kt-makeup.co.uk

PAUL CHAMBERS FACELESS PRODUCTIONS

I 2

Up and Coming

Emily Marie W

here my passion comes from: Having an effect on other people and knowing my work is enjoyed. I’m very passionate about it primarily because I enjoy it so much but also because I’m eager to succeed in the industry and make something for myself. I can photograph anything in any way and make it my own and that’s what I love about photography- it’s endless. Favourite photographer: This is a hard question, there’s so many talented photographers out there! I love Brian Demint; he’s not extremely well known but his work is just mind blowing, every photograph is saturated with creativity and colour.

Suppose you could say I fell into photography. I don’t consider myself to have woken one morning and decided from there on in I was going to be a photographer. Looking back over my career and childhood I also had a creative and imaginative side to everything I did with inspiration filtering in from aspects of television and visual media. The main source of inspiration would have had to have been those James Bond titles and oh yes Thunderbirds. Those fantasy style sequences that made anything or anyone I looked at turn into a character from fiction. As I grew up I must have turn to more sexual teasing images that used a variety of theatrical techniques to create a mood or atmosphere. I was never one for looking at just one particular artist but would spend many hours looking at all kinds of books, cover and art work in the library or Waterstones in the late evenings. I found myself within the theatre industry, creating visual atmosphere pieces using lighting and would drift into a day dream when watching much of the plays and musicals that I design that were on stage. My desire to be creative fell more at the hands of people on stage within their settings and portrait of emotion that linked my already flourishing creative side. Trying to move away from those stereotypical imagery found myself back using theatrical technics and those which were my original inspiration for work within the creative industry. Most often I would find some kind of connection with one person or another that was on stage and get into conversation with them about their hopes and dreams. At the time photography and particularly that of people couldn’t have been further from my mind and fell into a conversation with one actress which was expressing her delight with a particularly scene that I have designed and wanted to capture some of those effects. I have a 35mm SLR at the time which I had inherited and so agreed to do with some shots. After awaiting for them to be developed word had quickly spread and a number of other people had approached me wanting similar portfolio shots done.

“I suppose you could say I fell into photography 5 3 Photos: 1.Mystical: This photo was taken against a window with dark shadows behind me and the sun on my face. I wanted it to have a mystical sort of appeal. 2.Double: I really wanted this photo to mean something but it’s very ambiguous and can be interpreted in so many different ways. 3.Ray of sunlight: This was taken in natural light and I hoped for it to portray a sense of innocence.

Where I see myself in 5 years: Erm, again this is hard to answer ha ha, I’m rubbish aren’t I! But no, ideally I’d like to be either assisting a London photographer or if I’m lucky shooting my own stuff. I might even be in Uni, who knows.

4.Kooky: I took this photo a while back and it definitely illustrate craziness as being something fun and full of limitless possibilities whilst it also represents the kookiness of modern fashion.

Favourite colour: Although I’m not a typical girly girl, I’d have to say pink. Hot pink:)

5.Polaroid: I had this precise image in mind whilst creating the photo but the key in my mouth was not planned, it just helped maximize the photo’s simplicity alongside it’s sense of aberration.

I was still working within theatre at the time of coming up with the name ‘Faceless Productions’ which is the name that I still use today for many reasons, not only does it still remind me of all those day stuck backstage and not seen by audiences creating these visions but it was more personal than that as it described in my view what I had been doing whereby I was an artist that wasn’t seen on stage, screen or in front of the camera. Too many people become photographers in my view and just use their own name without giving much away to their personality or background. That was about 10 years ago now and have now set up my own business under the same name as well as filling in the gaps of creativeness needed to become a photographer producing some dramatic images. I am sure if you take a look at my site www.facelessproductions.biz you might see some of those little inspirations from the James Bond titles that have crept in not to mention a few others.

matter what experience is feeling and wanting to produce. Some would argue that I have the ability to think female and to put myself in their shoes or whatever else they maybe wearing at the time as well as see what everyone male or female would like to see. I hope that if anything people get the enjoyment out of my images as I have with images that I have seen and above all be creative in their photography or modelling. I would like to also say that if you are either thinking about becoming a photographer or a model look at every aspect of what you are creating and don’t stay within the tried and tested methods. Family Portraits is probably the best example of this with almost everyone producing cheap and cheerful images of smiling kids on white backgrounds with a somewhat lack of variety to each individual. Faceless Productions is based in Leicestershire and is above all there to make quality photography and portfolios accessible to those of us that live north of the M25 not to mention give each person that walks through the door a chance to be individual to them as well as having a portfolio to show off to an agent without having to pay a huge fortune for the privileged. To look at it another way ‘Faceless Productions’ Your Face For Less Produced. I hope that gives you some insite into the industry as well as inspire you not to be pushed into areas that are not suitable for you.”

With all this in mind I would like to also say I class myself as an individual that can spread my creative appeal of many different visual media’s as well as understand what the person the other side of the camera no

Body Painting By Victoria Howard

of Derby Face & Body Painting had the honour of Victoria Howard coming to my studio this week to do a full body of art. We started at 11am and with breaks finished about 4.30pm. The dedication and stamina were amazing.

Victoria set up by covering the area with a towel to lay out her products . The range was extensive to include every colour possible, plus a brush kit to die for. Our model Amy Irvine was to stand still for a substantial amount of time while Victoria was marking an outline on her body. At first it looks strange because there are just random lines etc. all over the body. However random is definitely not what they were, it started to take shape before our eyes, an eye feast of colour and creativity. Victoria stopped for a break for only 20 minutes and continued with as much passion as before. Victoria taught herself by painting faces at a theme park and working her way up to decorating bodies. Its all a matter of experience, patience a good imagination and an eye for the bigger picture is a necessity. By 4pm we were all watching in awe at what Victoria had created on a blank body canvas. Amy was completely naked at this stage and could have gone outside without feeling vulnerable. Would have got some looks considering she was multi coloured but would have all been worth while. We finished off with some make-up by myself Natasha Booth and proceeded to take photos of our efforts. The day was a complete success and extremely inspiring.

Who is your favourite model at the moment?

I adore the lady that does the Next adverts, she is amazing.

oday I met an amazing young lady called Lauren, she is only 16 but is set for stardom. Not only is she beautiful she has a charm about her that is captivating and have not seen for a while. Lauren came to my studio in Essex for an interview and shoot after seeing her portfolio on Model Mayhem. At 16 I was not sure how much prompting Lauren would need to get the picture. Lauren needed none, straight away I

could see I would get many a good picture and pose from her. She was professional and charming. Laurens mum came with her for support and because she is under 18, this did not put Lauren off when we were taking pictures and she let her daughter shine. It was a very successful day. Thank you Lauren.

Corner NVQ BT10

This is for doing a demonstration or a one to one session (make-up lesson) BT10.1 Prepare and plan for the make-up activity BT10.2 Carry out the make-up activity BT10.3 Complete the make-up activity BT10.1 Prepare and plan for the make-up activity.

The best way to cover this unit is to plan the make-up activity, ask many questions to help you best prepare for the event. How many people?

When the client books in it would need to be in a well lit room with a table to put your kit on and a chair. A good selection of brushes and make-up is essential along with a pen and paper to record what has been done in the session. Suggest she brings her existing make-up it might simply be that the client has excellent products and colours, but has no idea how to use them. With the lesson you are not only guiding the client through product knowledge and colours your are teaching her the correct application to assist her to create the same effect when you are not there. You can do this 2 ways. 1- Both cleanse, tone and moisturise your face and both with a mirror show the client how to apply on your own skin. 2- You do one side of her face and she mirrors your work to achieve the same look on the other side.

Age group? Gender?

Group Demonstrations

Room layout?

Local clubs, or hotels give amazing opportunities to therapists to give demonstrations or talks about products or a new promotion. You would need to make sure of promotional material i.e. posters and flyers. All that turn up are potential clients so make sure you have price lists and a clear answer to all questions. A assistant is a good idea to help you set up and help with the over all demonstration and any questions though out. Showing a treatment on someone from the audience is a winner as well as goody bags.

Time constraints? Costs to you for using kit? Lighting, tables,mirrors, chairs? Date and time?

A one to one session is to enhance a clients image and or to demonstrate use of make-up in a lesson type situation. A group demonstration may be used to promote your business or a product launch. One to one make-up Reasons for one to one make-up, Gift from others Age, time for a change Special event, bride, party, birthday Change of image , weight loss, hair colour change Enhance their own image- new job, promotion,interview. Pick me up after being unwell, had children.

Q&A’s What gave you the passion to do photography? I have enjoyed taking photographs from an early age, but my real passion started when I was lucky enough to be involved in beauty & fashion work. If you want to understand my philosophy to photography, watch the film about the making of Blade Runner. I believe it is called “Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner”. Ridley Scott’s attention to detail and ‘atmosphere’, and strength in not accepting second best, is outstanding. What does make a good/bad model? A good model is: photogenic, personable,

professional, and with the ability to project their personality into each and every photograph. A bad model is one who is not willing to learn the art. Pet hates Being unprofessional. Work credits I have a natural dislike of photographers who reel of a list of past achievements. The past is history - it is the future that counts.

up artists or hair stylists, but I do have genuine respect for every single one that I have worked with. Without their dedication and skill my work would be nothing. What shoots would you like to do? I am always looking for avant garde.

Best shoot? The next one! Favourite model and mua/hair? Tyra Banks, was, and still is, an outstanding role model for anyone wishing to make it in the industry. I don’t have any favourite make-

At Home

atasha Booth is a women who knows what she wants out of life, RECOGNITION. Natasha has been a make-up artists for 15 years. She opened her own salon at just 21 years old, and has recently expanded the salon to a private training college. Her pure determination and passion to get noticed in the make-up industry drove Natasha to begin the task of creating Face On Magazine. This is a day in the life of a very driven young lady.

A day in my life

7am wake up call. 8am Ready to start my day, my schedule today is hectic but this is like most days. My day starts with cleaning my kit and reading over the brief for the shoot this afternoon. The brief is a make-up with an explosion of colour. My mind is whirling as to what to do. My kit holds so many odd items to include feathers, ribbon, gems, body and face paint, tissue paper and some random objects just in case. 9am Tidy salon and get room ready for my morning of clients. I have a hour facial, a manicure, pedicure and a eyelash tint. My salon is called Monros beauty centre, which has been open now for 11 years. I still work as much as I can just split myself 3 ways, magazine, teaching and salon. We run City and Guilds courses all year round and I teach at least 2 days a week. 10am Start my treatments 12pm Finish at the salon, quick sandwich and in the car typing in a postcode on my Tom Tom. It will take me hour 20 minutes to get to my destination outside of London. I have my kit, laptop, camera and snacks. I take my baby laptop to write notes down and to interview the model and photographer if they want a piece in Face On Magazine. My camera is to take photos of my work and venues of the shoot. 1.30pm I arrive ready to start straight away. I am at an advantage as I did my research on the model, so I had an idea about the makeup and shades. The model is a beautiful girl called Bonnie Stevens ( Issue 1) We know each other from previous shoots but still did my research to see if she had changed her hair colouring and skin colour I.e. tanning. 1.45pm I have set up on a portable table that I take with me everywhere just in case there is no room. I cover this over with a black cloth to collect any mess that I may create. I have what I call a fanny pack which clips around my waist which holds all my brushes and concealer pencils. It looks professional and makes your life easy when looking for vital items. Sort your kit out into sections, foundations, concealer, primer, moisturisers then lip items, eye items etc.. This will make it easier when looking for items. I have spoken to the photographer and he has told me a time frame and his ethics of work. This is important as everyone has work ethics and how they like to work so you do not step on anyones toes. 2pm I have already started and things are going great. Bonnie’s skin is in excellent conditioned I have prepared her skin with a

cleanse, tone, moisturiser and primer. I have used green correction under the eyes and a matte mousse in two different colours to create a canvas to add colour. Concealer is applied over eyelids and lips to help keep the colour on the skin. I add colour with Kryolan face paints, bright colours placed very methodically on the eyes to coincide with the feathers I will put on with skin glue later. My get my inspiration from all over and enjoy looking at other make-up artists work. Model Mayhem is an amazing way to look at other artists work. 2.45pm I am finished and checking over my work and also getting the model to check from a different perspective. The model can sometimes say she does not like it as it may be so way out that it looks odd to them. This in my eyes should never happen, as long as the photographer is happy the model has to use the make-up to his or her advantage. I have been to many shoots where a model will come over to you and say, ‘do you like my make-up, cos that other lady did it and I hate it’ This is unprofessional a n d make-up artists do talk and may give the model a bad name. The photographer has taken some test shoots and is happy with the result. I have the following items on hand, Powder to stop shine, concealer, lip-gloss and skin glue. You stay for as long as you are needed. There may be a few make-up changes, this is what you are paid for your time and expertise. I took a magazine and cleaned my kit whilst waiting. 3.30pm Touch up lips and shine control 4pm Hairdresser changes hair, I slightly change make-up to a darker my pronounced cheekbones. 5pm Finish and tidy up. I ask the model if she would like a wipe to take her make-up off, Bonnie would like the feathers taken off but the colours left on. 5.15pm In my car on my way home. 6.30PM Arrive home and check the salon diary and check the girls are alright. The day has been busy so I take over and do reception duties til 7.30pm. The cash is counted and we are ready to close. 8pm Dinner 9pm Work on the magazine, write up an interview with the hairdresser on the shoot. 11pm Check kit is ready for tomorrow and research model. I am teaching in the morning and a shoot in the afternoon in Chelmsford. This is a general makeup shoot, smoky eyes. Time for bed, and time for my mind to think of more make-up inspiration.

Check casting call lists for times. Casting call sheets give you a run down of the day and when you should be working. Usually 8-1am long days. Never ever complain about waiting or lack of food. Check address and time. Being late is seen as unprofessional. Always dress smart. Sometimes they may suggest a colour for all make-up artists to wear I.e. all black so you are distinguished as crew. You may get a wrist band so you can enter all areas of production to do touch ups. If there is a few make-up artists make sure you are ready to work so you can do as much make-up as possible. Never bitch about another make-up artists work. Not ethical or professional. Always carry business cards with you.

Do your research on who you are doing. Nothing worse then saying to the lead singer ‘ who are you then’ very embarrassing. Check what kind of look they require. If you are not capable decline the job. This is your work and you need to be very confident when doing videos and shoots. If you are a student go to event castings and watch, ask questions get pictures. Always take a camera for before and after photos, please ask permission by the model and explain it is for your portfolio. Music videos are fantastic to do and fun, make contacts with all around you as these can be excellent networking events. Be yourself and have fun. Being nervous is a good emotion it will keep you more alert and willing to please your clients.

his week I am going to tell you about being a make-up artist behind the scenes of music videos. I have had the pleasure on working on over 8 videos to include, Vanessa Grall, tq & shizzio ( rock it girl) and most recent So Solid Crew ( since you went away) to name but a few. Remember You will be hanging around in between scenes, take a book and some refreshments as these are not always available. In between scenes clean your brushes and sort out your kit. Take a small sanitizer for your hands. Invest in a belt to carry your brushes and essentials. Hairdressing belts are the best. Always have a small pot of Vaseline for gloss touch ups on the lips.

What am I describing and the answer is an anagram, un-scrabble the letters to find your answer.

lready tipped by Vogue as being one to watch, Sophie Gittins – the 25 year-old Cordwainers College graduate, has much to smile about. After receiving a first-class honours degree in footwear design, the Essex-based designer sites being nominated as a finalist for the first ever Fashion Fringe Footwear Awards, as a highlight of her career so far. The prestige of this achievement is particularly impressive when you consider the early stage of her career. Pair that with the distinctive designs of her first and forthcoming collections, and it’s no wonder that she impressed the panel of top industry professionals, including Colin McDowell, Rupert Sanderson and Manolo Blahnik. The success of her debut collection had industry critics dubbing Sophie as a definite ‘New Shoe Star’, and SS10 has the fash pack waiting with bated breath. “Opulent coloured suedes, leathers and snakeskins alongside rich brocade silks in hues of magenta, oche and green”, are the undeniably tempting words Sophie uses to describe her second collection – inspired by the Russian jeweller Fabergé. This season, 12 styles have been created, each with its unique stance on the 19th Century luxury that Fabergé produced, and each taking the name of a key figure in the history of the Fabergé company.

’ r a t S e o h S ‘New Sophie is able to pinpoint an early interest in shoes as she reminisces over the beautiful quality pairs she wore as a child. “I’ve always been drawn to the creative process, and I love the idea of turning an initial flat sketch into something 3-dimensional that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but practically sound.” Her fascination therefore with the heelstructure is something she is keen to explore in future collections. Due to the size and infancy of the company at present, her efforts must however, focus on creating simply stunning designs for the upper shoe. With a dedication to, and love of research, Sophie’s design process includes much more than just sketches. She draws inspiration from the arts, architecture, interior design and antiques – demonstrating her eclectic taste and influences that are reflected in her stunningly adorned Colchester studio. Dominated by a huge old haberdashery cabinet filled to the brim with antique trimmings and leather samples, the walls are kept simple to perfectly display her collection of vintage Vogue artwork and beautifully ordered swatches in a rainbow of delectable shades.

For the footwear followers amongst us, Sophie hopes to collaborate with more designers in the future. Her recent work with NEWGEN-sponsored Hannah Marshall, found her addressing new and exciting challenges that fitting someone else’s design aesthetic brought. Chanel, Philip Lim and Yves Saint Laurent are top of the wish list as far as Sophie is concerned; and with the international recognition she is gaining from a string of key figures in the fashion industry, the dream is not unreasonable. Sophie Gittins’s latest collection will be launched during Fashion Week. Words by: Anna Harman
