The sun shone today and was filled with lots of laughter and fun! I was shooting today with Rachel Spivey. Nope I wasn’t modelling I was the make-up artist. Veronica Kupcake was our model and we were showcasing a new range of jewellery for a lady called Anita Davis. Anita is best known for her beautiful mosaic work but she’s now set up her hand made jewellery business. Her new site will be up soon!
We had a lot of different pieces to shoot today but boy what a shoot! The shoot was at one of the most beautiful houses I’d ever seen, here in my home town of Leamington Spa. It fitted perfectly with the elegance of the jewellery plus our model who is quite the demure pin-up.
The first shot was a clean make-up look and after Rachel shot a few pictures I was like, ‘hang on, something is not right.’ The loose powder was a tad too yellow on Veronica’s skin, which at first non of us spotted in the light and sometimes the oil in people’s skin can turn the colour of a foundation or powder. However once I mentioned it and we looked at the pictures we all agreed it needed correcting. It took two minutes to do and I was really glad I said something because the make-up worked so well after that. I suppose the reason why I mention it is because sometimes even professionals have to admit if something is not right with their work and change it.
Never be too proud to admit something can be made better.
The looks went up a notch with more and more adventure in regards to the make-up. We did one set which I won’t go into too much detail on but suffice to say it shouted pure bygone elegance.
I was so proud of all of us. We truly worked as a team! That is what it’s all about. Team work!
I think in regards to make-up I pretty much did clean, classy, smoky, vixen and then Showgirl. Not bad for a days shooting.
I’m excited for Anita – this is an extension of her business and she’s just learning about all the possibilities with networking online with twitter and Facebook. You can follow her here. Help her get used to the place 
I know you’ll love her work when you see it!!
Tomorrow…
I have to finally get to some questions together for another spotlight interview! I think you’ll love it just as much as the Sakina / Saks In The City one, and then tomorrow evening (Ms Kimmoy (The Curvy Coach) and I have a meeting to discuss plans for a rather special feature on her site!! I hope you’ll bookmark her site and check it regularly. She remains one of my favourite people to connect with – because she’s smart (oh and also a real hoot too!)
I bid you all a peaceful and fabulous Sunday. Wherever you are in the world may you spend the day relaxed and stress free!
