Welcome to LA TV. We have a step by step 4 part episode of how to recreate Victoria Beckhams signature makeup look. We’re nearing the end of our Victoria Beckham celebrity inspired make-up look..after watching these demos, you will be highly qualified to try and create the look yourself.
Don’t worry if you don’t have the exact products our make-up artist, Sarah Jane Wai O Flynn is using, just try and match it to a close product and a very similar look can be achieved!
As professional make up artists our tutors know that getting the base right is key to creating the perfect look. Moisturiser is the best way to give a client that glowing, dewy complexion everyone loves. You don’t have to spend a fortune but do remember to buy the best that you can afford whether that means La Prairie or No.7. And don’t be shy putting it on - foundation sits better on a moist base of cream and primer. Remember too that younger clients have naturally more moist skin so you can use a lighter cream while more mature clients, say the mother of the bride benefit from a richer mixture.
Some of our favourites are:
And if you win the Lotto, try this La Prairie Skin Caviare Premier Collection but at €450 a jar you might want to keep this one all to yourself.
Which moisturizers do you like to use?
Deep inside our make-up bags, every make up artist keeps some magic colours to save the day. When you’re working on a film-set or behind the scenes at a fashion show, you need to have the full range of colours and every shade under the sun. MAC have nearly twenty colours which you could call ‘brown’ for example - look here at the MAC eyeshadows and see if you can name them all! It’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it.
The easiest way to combine colours is to follow the experts’ advice and use palettes.
Did you ever hear the saying “No need to re-invent the wheel’? Well, that’s how we feel about palettes. Cinema Secrets is one of our favourite brands - you’ll love working with them, choose from foundation palettes and eyes on the Cinema Secrets website here or shop with us. You can find colour collections for every occasion with Bobbi Brown here. Brides will love the Long Wear Eye Palette. And you’ll need some funky holders for all of that colour. Here at LA Make-Up we have everything you’ll need to start your make-up collection off; you can choose from two-colour cases, large artists’ palettes or palettes for eye shadow and blush together.
How do you store your powders and eye shadow?
The LA Make-Up tutors are always busy and we’re excited to tell you they will be even busier this year as we’re launching a One Year make-up Specialist Course. So many of our students love the Module 3 make-up course and have asked for more time so we’ve created this fab course for you.
You can read all about it on our website here. The course is really focused on developing your professional skills with lots of photoshoots and a spectacular end of year Graduation Show where our talents will be shown-off to their best advantage. The students will learn with our tutors and then travel out to work with clients under supervision. You could gain valuable experience with any of these great companies; Vodafone, Drury Communication, Samsung, Hot Press, TV Now, RTE Guide, Confetti, TV3, RTE and TG4.
We’re covering every area of the make-up industry. Subjects include practical make-up sessions but also Special Effects, customer service, hair styling and airbrushing and lots more! Students will have plenty of time to develop their talents as the course runs from September to June over five days. We’ll kick off on September 20th

Episode 4 - Celebrity Look Victoria Beckham. Part 2 of 4
Welcome to LA TV. We have a step by step 4 part episode of how to recreate Victoria Beckham’s signature makeup look. Sarah Jane Wai O Flynn works her magic and shows us her step by step guide on how to recreate look with her top tips included so keep your eyes and ears peeled! Posh’s makeup is understated, unlike her skyscraper heels.
The focus is on healthy-looking skin, nude lips and dark, sultry eye makeup. Or for day, you can do Posh-inspired smoky eye makeup that’s lighter simply by switching to pencil liner and skipping mascara. When all else fails, reach for oversized sunglasses to look like Posh as they tend to hide a multitude of flaws.
