Emma Farrell Make-Up Artist

The Irish Film and Television Awards were on recently and the ladies were out in style! I know that this is a bit of a delayed article, but I have been mad busy…better late than never.

Amy Huberman

I think the style award for the night definitely goes to Amy Huberman. She radiates an effortless glamour and style. She is primped and preened, however she knows the exact measure needed for red carpet perfection. Her fringe sweeps gently across her warm lightly bronzed face, framing it so that your attention is drawn to her dark lined eyes and beaming smile. This look really compliments the gorgeous green dress.

Saoirse Ronan

The leading lady of the night was off course Saoirse Ronan. Not much to say makeupwise, but I do REALLY like her nude shoes, they make her look tall and long legged.

Colette Fitzpatrick

Colette and Amy must have looked at the same hymn sheet because their Make Up is very similar. Again this is a very pretty fail safe look which enhances your natural beauty. The upstyle makes a real feature of her statement jewellery which are so pretty I am extremely envious!

Aisling O’Neill

I always like to see a bit of red lippy on the red carpet and Aisling did not disappoint! She teamed this with a well defined black eyeliner and tons of mascara which ads an extra hint of drama.

Sorry that I haven’t written in so long, but I have been sooooo busy! Guess that is a good complaint. I have been working non-stop with no days off for three weeks, between doing freelance work and also working on a new television programme called “The Guards”.

I can’t really say too much about it, but it will be shown on TV 3 in February of next year. It is a television drama starring

and Steve Aldridge [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdMsJ2KQPlw]

“The Guards” is directed by Graham Cantwell. His independent film “Anton” did very well at the Irish Film and Television Awards.

For more information go to www.theguardstv.com, but be warned, this is only a temporary website. It will be redeveloped when all the footage has been shot, which should be at the beginning of November.

There has been a good bit of press attention already, this is an article from The Tribune. It is funny, people have already started slating the show, even before there was any footage! Here’s an article from The Dubliner. Even the actors have been getting a hard time. The reference to Zoolander was Tres funny and very clever, I think Ben Stiller is great and so is Emmett!

I guess even bad press is good press! Hopefully we do enough to please everybody even the most cynical! A lot of blood sweat and tears have gone into the production, so I hope so! If all goes well perhaps a few more episodes can go into production

I really feel like Irish people should be supporting homegrown projects that use Irish talent and Crew. There is way too much imported stuff on Irish television even though there are plenty of talented, educated and experienced Irish people in the Film and Television industry here. Thankfully TV3 have seen this and are starting to cultivate this creativity as stated in this article in The Times.
