We hope everyone survived Valentine’s Weekend in one piece; loved-up or otherwise! And we’ve got plenty of goodies to keep you happy at LA Make-Up this week if you missed out on the roses.
We are delighted to welcome Astrid Kearney and Elaine Prenderville to the Dublin studios this week. Astrid has been a freelance make-up artist for over ten years; you can see her fabulous work in Vogue, ID, ELLE and magazines like Conde Nast Traveller and Marie Claire. She’s definitely rocking the celebrity listings with Sienna Miller, Lulu Guinness and Lisa B queuing up for her services. If any of you are planning on working in film, you can ask her about ‘Love Actually’ or ‘Trauma’. And Module Three make-up students working on historical make-up can get some tips thanks to her work on BBC programmes like ‘The Seven Wonders of Egypt, Greece and Rome’. You can read more on her website Astrid Kearney. She will be with us on Wednesday and Thursday February 17th and 18th.
If that isn’t enough for you, we also had one of our favourite editors; Elaine Prenderville from VIP Magazine in LA as our guest interviewer at LA Make-Up’s first 2010 ‘An Evening with..’ event, with Astrid Kearney. Elaine conducted an insightful interview that wowed the audience with great make-up and beauty tips.
