Some nice shots from a photoshoot that I did recently in D Studios just off Camden Street in Dublin. Was a great team to work with and I hope to have a video of the shoot soon.

There have been some definite trends evident already in the Fall collections from the top designers. Eyebrows have been raised literally by Dior and Co. Natural brows have been waxed over and hidden and a thin line drawn above the natural position.  The effect makes eyes look rather alien. Faces are kept pale, a blank canvas enabling colourful, false lash clad eyes to pop. The lip look, harks back to the sultry 1920′s, with defined cupid’s bows in purple and pink. This look is about drama and expression.

As can be expected with a Autumn collections there were alot of bronze, golds and browns about, symbolic of the change of colours from summer to autumn. However the colours were kept mainly to the eyes and lips. Skin had a more pale matt tone.

A huge trend again this Autumn is red lips, with many different shades making an appearance from Scarlett to Blood. Again gorgeous and with a well defined cupids bow. A good angled lip brush is essential for this look. I particluarly like Armani’s shade of lippy.

Believe it or not, Sue is not a professional model! We used to work together in Aurora Creations we had a great time together, but unfortunately we both went our seperate ways because of location difficulties, she was based in Wexford and I went travelling the world!

The idea for the photoshoot was Sweet like chocolate…poor Sue was quite a while trying to get all the foundarion out
