Tux Deluxe - Make-up & Post by Eli Wakamatsu

This sleek and androgynous tuxedo story was shot in both black and white, as well as colour on the day by Italian photographer Max Cadelli. It is always so much fun shooting with him.

Both versions of the story were strong but I am loving the black and white featured in Marie Claire's March issue.

We had a very sexy sports car for our gorgeous model Maxime from Models 1 to use as a prop.

I worked the skin to be sheer but slightly iridescent so it keeps it's  natural texture in the photo by using Chanel's Hydra Beauty Skincare Range. I also worked with shading tones to build the shape of her face for it's  

cool urban 'no make-up' look.

I paid most attention to the eyebrow for this look. I know I've mentioned it before and I'm sure I'll mention it again, but I love the Chanel eyebrow kit and I recommend it to everybody. 

I hope you enjoy the story as much as we did putting it together.

Ziggy Played Guitar - Make-up & Blog by Emma Miles

The inspiration for this shoot for Italian Amica with Michael and Sandrine was obviously David Bowie, mainly Ziggy Stardust era, so I prepared by researching all his looks. 

We wanted to give it a modern edge so I drew a lighting bolt freehand on Bianca's face and painted it with Metallic sliver. 

The stylist Laurent guided me through each look and we designed make up to fit with each style.

Blended pinks and fuchsia's with gold leaf third eye. Doing small variations for each look. Metallic sliver lip, gold glitter lip etc.

This has been one of my favourite shoots to date and I think the key to a successful story of this standard is definitely working together with a great team.

Ripping Yarns by Emma Miles

The Ripping Yarns story for Harrods was based on a puppet theme using wool as the strings. It was to be a quite androgynous and sinister story. 

With this in mind and the brief I was given I decided to focus on the eyebrows making them heavy and dense and emphasised.

I used darkness under the lower lash line to create a unconventional makeup to compliment the mood and feel for the story. 

A lot of contouring to hollow out her facial structure to give her a puppet like feel.

I used two different shape and sizes of Japonesque fake eyelashes and placed them in a way that enhance and elongate the upper lash line to make the eyes appear large, reminiscent of a puppet doll who eyes always seem to big for their puppets face.

And a strip of lower lashes to finish off the doll like effect.

I am delighted to announce that stylist Holly Ounstead has joined the agency.

After graduating from Bath School of Art and Design in 2011 with a BA Hons in Fashion and Textiles design, Holly spent a summer interning at Alexander McQueen and there after assisting stylist Magda Bryk.

Holly started fashion styling at 1883 Magazine in October 2011. She started to put together her own fashion editorials for online, and things started happening from then on. Very early on, Holly decided to stay focussed on being true to herself and her own style.  She has since worked on numerous editorials which have been printed, both Fashion, Beauty and Still life shoots.

Holly has recently have styled upcoming bands, PEACE, TRUST and BIGkids; Actresses Myanna Buring and Antonia Thomas who liked the look for the shoot so much, stayed with the look for an awards ceremony that evening.

Holly was put in charge of heading up the 1883 Beauty section alongside her role as Junior Fashion Editor, which has since grown from its initial 2 page still-life spread to a current 16 page section including features on talented industry professionals such as Peter Robb King and Mary Greenwell.
