Halloween Open Day

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Can you believe it’s Halloween time already? And you know what that means: time to dress up and scare the good people of Dublin.

Our make-up artists love Halloween and they have some fantastic ideas for you. Last year you may have grabbed one of our Special Effects Halloween Packages! And this year we’re going one step further; we’re holding a Halloween Open Day just for you.

You can be anything you like from a scary but glamorous witch to a zombie weeping with blood. We can do gothic fairies and geishas or even turn you out to walk like an Egyptian. Bring your man along to get some nasty wounds or scars to toughen up his Halloween outfit too. Our artists will take your ideas and turn them into reality – just like in the movies! Pop on one of your favourite horror flicks for some inspiration beforehand or just come and see us; trust us if you dare!

If you want to get an idea of how fabulous you could look; log onto our Flickr stream and see what our students got up to for their work experience last week. And that’s just our beginners so with some expert help we can really turn you into something amazing.

The work experience was at The Loft Fashion Show and our students from the Module 3 course certainly rose to the challenge! It was great to see the new season’s lines and so exciting to see our students working away. The got to use everything they’ve learned and really showed us what a great future they’ll have in the industry.

But just to show we can be serious too when we have to be; one of our make-up experts was chatting to you on Monday about politics. Surprised? Well, you might remember reports last year on Bertie Ahern’s make-up budget. We have to admit we’re a little jealous of his deep pockets. Think what we could do with that money down in BT! We sent one of our artists to Spin FM to discuss the whole affair. Log onto the Spin FM site for the podcast and tell us what you think!

In the meantime, it’s countdown to Halloween. We’re open all day on Saturday, October 31^st for you to come and scare your friends! But places are going fast so click here to book your place! We guarantee a Halloween like no other!!

(NB: Appointments by booking only)

Who will you be on Halloween?

Stars & Glamour at the LA Studios

Monday, July 27th, 2009

It was a star-struck week for us here at the Dublin LAMA studios. We glammed up the ultimate smokey eye with Girls Aloud eyelashes. Then we were inspired by Uma Thurman, Olivia Newtown John and Audrey Hepburn and finally blown away by the Spin crew.

Monday started us off with a bang when the Spin FM crew joined us to have their makeup done for the funky, new Spin FM website. It was great to put faces to the voices we hear everyday on the radio. And like they always say in the magazines, the girls were genuinely lovely and such fun to work with! Plus of course they looked amazing after going under the brushes here in the studio with the LA artists. It was especially exciting for us to meet the voices behind our latest radio ad Have you heard it yet? If not, don’t forget to listen out for even more LA news on Spin.

But we’re not just on the airwaves. The LA style is bringing the glamour of Audrey Hepburn to your newspapers soon with the latest Vodafone shots. We also took the Uma Thurman look we loved in ‘Pulp Fiction’ and teamed it with the fifties innocence of Sandy from ‘Grease’. It’s sure to inspire you to try out some retro-glam. These fabulous re-creations were topped off by Michael Leon, the celebrity hair stylist you might have seen at Off the Rails Live. So the next time you grab a paper, check us out!

One thing you shouldn’t miss is the stunning smokey eye designed by one of our fabulous artists Emma Woods. This isn’t for the shy girls, serious WOW factor is guaranteed. Emma showed us how to put it all together – adding in the latest in lashes from the Girls Aloud Eyelure range, using both top and bottom lashes. And to finish off the dramatic effect, she covered them in lashings of mascara. We know this look is made for parties so she dabbed in a touch of dazzling sparkle on the inner corner of the eye for that final touch of glam.

Sound like your thing? Sign up here for next month’s newsletter and you’ll get a breakdown of the MAC products Emma used and a step by step video tutorial. Couldn’t be easier.
