Makeup is Art - 2nd Edition

Make-up-is-art-book_1 Makeup is Art - 2nd Edition

This is the second edition of Makeup is Art, it comes out in September during London Fashion Week. I worked with  Editor and makeup artist Lan Nguyen with hair stylist Tim Furssedonn on a shoot for this edition.

We worked on the adorment section of the book. In general I’m not that excited about beauty shoots, as a stylist there’s not always that much for me to do. This shoot was quite exciting, the brief was quite simple Lan asked me to bring a selection that would inspire her.  Lan loves bling so I brought loads of very shiny delightful, whymsical pieces and we shot some wonderful images. I can’t wait to see the book!

Makeup Is Art - Cover Shoot

Posted by Rebekah Roy on March 22nd, 2010

Makeup Is Art is a makeup booked that was published last year and launch during London Fashion Week, it was so successful that it’s being published worldwide. I worked with creative director and head makeup artist Lan Nguyen on the cover shoot.

On a beauty shoot it’s so important to have a good selection of jewellery and accessories. We had everything from a large selection of hats to an array of haberdashery. It’s part of the stylist’s job to inspire the makeup artist with the selection of clothes and all the accessories.

The team inspires each others and it’s really that syngering that make a great shoot. Even though we have tear sheets and a moodboard you can still find lots of inspiration on the day. It doesn’t necessarily take you away from your original ideas but it actually might just push your creativity further than you expected.

Ford Models Supermodel of the World UK Search

Posted by Rebekah Roy on October 26th, 2009

For the past few days load of girls having been lining up for casting for the Ford Models Supermodel of the World UK Search. It’s not any easy decision - there are so many great girls but so few with that special something! The UK winner - who will be crowned in London on the 3rd of November - will then go on to compete against the other international winners to take home the Supermodel of the World title.

Most of the girls are quite nervous at the casting - for many of them it’s the first casting they’ve ever been too! Lots of mums with daughters - it’s quite nice actually. I think when you want to be a model you need to be confident and if you have support it’s just great! Modeling is just not an easy job - it’s looks easy and glamorous but that’s the job, to make it look easy! Most people get anxious going to a job interview but just think - a model can go to 12 more more casting i.e. job interviews per day!

Vogue.com’s Dolly Jones, designer William Tempest and Reaya Goldman, competition producer and Ford model scout will be the judges at the fashion show. The 12 finalists will participate in a fashion show styled by me with head makeup artist Lan Nguyen and hair by Tim Furssedonn from Toni & Guy.

I’ve already selected the clothes from the A/W collection of Jaeger and there are so many beautiful pieces. It should be a fun show!

Make Up Is Art

Posted by Rebekah Roy on October 9th, 2009

Make_Up_Is_Art_AOFM Make Up Is Art

A little dream of mine has always been to work on a makeup book, so when last year AOFM approached me to help collaborate on their book- Makeup is Art - I jumped at the chance. It was put together by creative directors - Lan Nquyen (William Tempest’s makeup artist) and Jana Ririnui (Head of education of AOFM) .. It’s more of a creative insight on how a makeup artist works and gets their ideas rather than a step by step how to manual on makeup. I think it’s a great resource for anyone interested in becoming a makeup artists or who is just interested in what we do.

It was fun but challenging coming up with a few concepts for the book. I tried to add a little interesting twist on each idea: for the 1950’s look I used the original Barbie Doll as a reference - making the model look almost plastic and over emphasising her top lip like the original Barbie’s. I added a splash of I Love Lucy into it too.

It only has been out a few short weeks but it’s doing really well. It’s available to buy at Charles Fox and Soho book store in London or at AOFM.
