After a minor technical glitch due to sand and in spite of the freezing waters Steph managed to brave dipping herself in for long enough to get the shots. And great shots they are too 2010-2-28 13:24:21 http://www.makeupbyella.com/page24.htm#58412 Josie wanted something quite elaborate for the music video... and it certainly ended up being that what with the bright yellow highlighting blusher along the top of her cheekbones And what great cheekbones to work on. The look was a mix of ideas ranging from Alice in Wonderland to Gothic to Porcelain Doll and it went down a treat. A good team of creatives all puled together so cant wait to see the music video in March. For now check out the behind the scenes video made by Lee Searle Photography Twang Media. 2010-2-14 18:32:44 http://www.makeupbyella.com/page24.htm#58022 had the pleasure of being asked to showcase my work at Trereife Wedding Fair and do the fashion show makeup for Anna DSouza a bespoke wedding dress designer. The event was hosted by Alison Liz and Keoth from Trereife House and was in association with WED magazine.The models arrived by 9am and one by one left my chair complete with a look tailored to suit each of the stunning dresses they were to model. One was vintage boho with lace detailing another was 50s inspired then there was a deep red wine dress and lastly a more traditional corseted dress. All the girls looked stunning once they were complete with hair styling by Number 8 Salon Truro and headpieces by Sarah Drew. 2010-2-8 21:53:36 http://www.makeupbyella.com/page24.htm#57270 2010-1-26 15:37:30 http://www.makeupbyella.com/page24.htm#56192 If youre looking for a spectacular wedding fair to go to this Spring why not come along to the fantastic wedding show being held in the stunning grounds of Trereife House in Newlyn Penzance on Sunday February 7thThe fair will be buzzing with some of Cornwalls most prestigious suppliers and is also being covered by and will feature in WED MagazineIll be there demonstrating some gorgeous wedding day looks on the models for the midday fashion show and will also have my portfolio and diary on hand should anyone wish to make a booking for any of the remaining dates I have available this year.So if you are still looking for any or all of the following Bridal wear Menswear Jewellery Flowers Photography Makeup Artistry Hair Styling Cakes Chocolate Fountains Vintage China Vintage Cars Stationary Marquees Furniture Event Hire Chair Covers Bunting Food Wines...oh and Honeymoon destinations and Wedding Gifts you know where to comeSure to be a great day not to be missed so hope to see you thereElla... 2010-1-14 21:56:25 http://www.makeupbyella.com/page24.htm#56023 A lovely white wedding for Claire and Dan at Trevenna Photography by Richard Rayner 2010-1-10 22:15:14 http://www.makeupbyella.com/page24.htm#56012 Today it was off to the Carnmarth hotel to do Sarahs makeup for her birthday. She had the whole hotel booked up with family and friends who had all made it and were ready to celebrate her 30th in spite of the now settling snow Sarah told me she didnt wear a lot of makeup normally so wanted something that would allow her to still feel like herself but which also fitted in with the gorgeous black and gold dress she had bought to wow her guests. I advised her on a few colours which would work well and then went on to use the combination of dusky pink and gilded bronze on the eyes. I applied a pore minimzing and mattifying base followed by a lightweight super flexible foundation so as not to make her feel heavily made up. After a dusting of translucent powder I applied a warm coral pink to her cheekbones and a lighter baby pink on the cheek itself. Her eyebrows needed lengthening slightly to give a balanced finish to the rest of the look and I kept the lips as close a colour to her n... 2010-1-9 21:36:11 http://www.makeupbyella.com/page24.htm#56005 I couldnt help but laugh... I arrived at The Manor House in West Pentire Newquay to meet the lovely bridetobe Claire and her mother for their trial. The wedding was to be 3 days later at The Headland hotel. Claire the bride was quite open to my suggestions for her wedding day look but knew she wanted something very natural and elegant. So we went with radiant skin softly blended smokey eyeliner with a sweeping flick and a rosey pout. Midway through a whole host of mini calamaties started unfolding very comically in the background... think a scene out of Airplane...and its always when you know you shouldnt laugh that you cant help but do just that As much as we tried none of us could control the giggles but after a few deep breaths we carried on with the makeup and the look was finished with the bride very happy indeed. A lovely family to work for and a few pics will follow shortly 2010-1-8 20:16:39 http://www.makeupbyella.com/page24.htm#55621 Happy New Year Its already looking like 2010 is going to surpass last year on the busy and exciting front and last year was in itself very busy and very exciting As well as being fully booked with weddings I had the pleasure of working with lots of great people and gained some new commercial clients to top it off.
