bits and pieces

A few bits and pieces that are a little bit more mainstream and pretty for anyone who I may have freaked out a little so far...

fashion location

Another week, another location. This week I was out to Camden airport for a 1940's aviation themed fashion shoot. I was in charge of makeup alone, so i went with the 1940's theme, however i didnt feel the hair really met the theme so much but I guess hair added more of a modern element. As did the clothes, a blend of 1940's and modernity... so, what do you all think? professional shots are on the way, but here a few quickies I got on location.

more icky stuff...

Our poor victim (model- REMEMBER GUYS! its just pretend...) has gotten her arm stuck in a fabric feeding machine, resulting in a break in the middle of her arm. As she was pulled into the machine, her face was hit on impact... poor dear :(

working on location...

two weeks ago, through my college 'three arts- the art and technology of makeup' I was asked to do makeup for a short film titled 'beauty/ beast'. I have not yet viewed the final cut, and as it was a silent film, the actual story line was a little confusing with the 3 rather juxtaposing characters consisting of an innocent 1920's flapper girl, 1950's angry gangster and a subservient clown... so all I know is the makeup went a little like this...

more work... the beautiful and the not so pretty

dear hair and makeup,

I just wanted to say, I- Elle Vierboom, of Ella Bella hair and makeup, love you, and I will always promise to keep on improving myself for your sake.

LOVE, Elle xoxoxoxox

NIDA

Saturday night was spent making up the faces of the many cast members in the musical 'THE PRODUCERS'. Stage makeup was applied to all members- so a slightly warmer and darker shade in comparison to the actors natural skin tone, topped with an accentuated eye, lip and cheek. Amongst the cast were speciality makeups of aged/old women, darkened eyes for a flock of pigeons, and ofcorse, the glamour makeup of our dancers. A very successful night and a wonderful effort by the cast, crew, directors and ofcorse, my fellow makeup artists!
