Fashion Week Make-Up Inspirations!

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

fashion-week Clothes and Make-Up go together like a horse and carriage, oh wait that’s marriage isn’t it? Well the Fashion Weeks just gone by, were definitely another sign of how fashion and make-up are so closely intertwined. Designers and make-up artists in Paris, London, New York and Milan worked together to create fabulous looks! And hopefully we can help you re-create these for yourself.

As you know we have a Fashion Stylist here just waiting for you. And she’s definitely been inspired by some of the make-up looks on the catwalks this year. In New York one of our favourite brands; NARS, created an impressive tribal look for designer Thakoon using contouring and defined eyes. Any of you studying in LA Make-Up will know how important bronzer is for creating the perfect facial shape. NARS were also in action at the Marc Jacobs show where they setup the darker side of fashion so there’s lots for you to choose from in their new Spring Collection.

MAC were one of the main sponsors of the London Fashion Week so it was no surprise to see their distinctive products up and down the catwalk. Vivienne Westwood worked with them to create a strong, tribal look with delicious plum lips all set for winter and early spring. And a surprise look from many designers was the emphasis on pink eyes! Yes that would be fuchsia and grenadine giving your winter look a soft pastel shot in the arm. Ungaro even had his models in two-tone pastel lips while NARS and Lancome created lots of light eyes during the show. Just remember when you try this at home to add on lashings of macara and strong eye-liner so you don’t look like a bunny rabbit caught in the headlights! Try the Second Skin Cheek Colour in Barely Pink by Laura Mercier on the apples of your cheek if the eyes are a step too far.

Of course if you want to go even more low-key than this, the other big look for the new season is No Make-Up At All. That’s right; spend hours getting ready just to look like you’ve nothing on at all. One of our favourite make-up bloggers Fabsugar has some photos so you can see if that rocks your boat.

Do you take inspiration from the Fashion Shows or from your friends?

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 21^st. 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.

What’s the most used product in your makeup bag?

Airbrush Perfection at LA Make-Up Academy

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

We are very excited here at LA Make-Up Dublin to announce Kym Menzies Foster will be here next week to give us a master class on Airbrush Techniques and Tools. Anyone who loves the fabulous looks she’s created for Naomi Campbell or Aleesha Dixon will adore this class. Foster has also worked with celebs from the world of music and film, including P. Diddy, Lauren Hill and Rhianna so you know there’s plenty to learn.

You’ll have seen her style on shows like Top of the Pops, Live and Kicking as well as on MTV. If all of that doesn’t convince you, she’s also done FHM, Maxim and YOU magazines among others. This lady has a lot to teach us.

And because we know that everyone is keeping a close eye on the pennies, the 2-day course is only €65. She really is amazing.

Foster is working with Alesha Dixon in Paris this month so we’re very lucky she is popping over to us for this course. Spend two evenings with her on the 12^th and 13^th of August, from 6.60 – 9pm and change your approach to airbrushing forever.
