LA Make-Up has a Fashion Breakthrough

Friday, August 21st, 2009

We were delighted to be involved again with the Fashion Breakthrough show. A week-long celebration of Irish fashion:who could resist?

The week kicked off with the opening of the Pop-up boutique on Cow Lane in Temple Bar. Not only are they selling fab gear from up and coming Irish designers but the designers themselves are on hand to give you some fashion advice. Open until Saturday so get down there if you haven’t already.

LA Make-up came in with the glam catwalk show ‘Uprising’ on Tuesday. Our staff had a great time at the April show and this one was no different. Hosted by Holly White and brimming over with Irish talent, our staff really enjoyed seeing new clothes from the young designers. And who were our staff? Only 8 of our own students going out for a unique work experience day along with our leading LA tutors.

Styled by Angela Scanlon and made up by our experts, the models looked fab as they sashayed down the catwalk in creations from Zoe Boomer, Sophie Rieu, Bebhinn Flood and 10 others. We saw everything from eco-textile designs to elegant knitwear. And of course a party afterwards with Alias Empire in true Irish style.

But the week wasn’t over yet. This week we were delighted to welcome Julia Francis , Europe’s leading body painter to the studios. She’s worked with celebs like Aishwarya Ray and Colin Firth and on campaigns for Harpers Bazaar and Saatchi & Saatchi as well as a roll-call of others. She held a body paint seminar for us on Wednesday. And on Thursday, she created something special for our photocall live on TV3′s Ireland AM.

You might have seen our models walking around in Dublin yesterday? Painted in the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes to celebrate the launch of our new studios in Los Angeles and London: they were hard to miss!

Check back on our homepage for more information on what’s happening in the Dublin LA studios this week!

Week of Glamour, Roses & Celebs at LA Studios

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

You know it’s summertime in Ireland when the beautiful Roses are in town and of course they dropped in to see us. Yes, indeed it was a busy week: from Roses to the Leaving Cert not to mention Kym Menzies-Foster teaching us a few things about airbrushing.

The Roses were doing a photo shoot at the Powerscourt Centre and where else would they go for a touch-up but to the experts here at LA Make-Up? It was great fun to be part of the excitement and we’re really looking forward to the final now we know the girls!

Our own LA promo girls had a turn outside on Wednesday when they visited 15 schools around Dublin. It was time for the Leaving Cert results and once the dreaded results are out, the Debs is next on everyone’s mind. So armoured with badges and LA Tees, the girls had a fab competition to announce. You’ll remember last week we talked about our Deluxe Debs package? Well, if you got one of the flyers we gave away, you could win a DD package for you and 3 of your friends!

Our own students were on a roll this week as well. First up they had an exciting opportunity to study airbrushing techniques with the great Kym Menzies-Foster. She really knows her stuff.

Then we bid farewell to 8 of our Module 3 full-timers as they finished their course on Friday. It’s a bit sad saying goodbye but we’re sure to meet up again. Especially as our students can return for free photoshoot experience after the course is done – all part of the service. It’s a thrilling time starting out on a new career, and we wish them the Very Best of Luck!

And of course that means it’s almost time to start a new course. The Module 3 Course takes you from beginner to pro with everything you need for a successful career in the make-up industry. A global team of tutors working with the very best products will give you a great start in this competitive industry. You’ll be ready for anything they throw at you!

To help you on your way, we have a fantastic LA Make-Up Kit worth €375 to give away to everyone who signs up by August 21st. With the kit and the discounts your student card can bring you, you’ll be looking amazing every day as well as turning your clients into stars.
