A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to be involved in a fabulous fashion shoot in The Old Convent in Tipperary. Its a beautiful venue and if you or anyone you know is a major foodie then check it out - eight course tasting menu, beautiful bedrooms, amazing location and the best hosts!
Fashion on the day was a mix of bridal, custom made and high street, all with a vintage theme. Vintage bridal was supplied by the very lovely Donna of Lilac Rose who runs a beautiful boutique in Limerick city. Her dresses are stunning and I can't wait to share the images with you. If any of you haven't yet picked up your dream dress then you have to visit Lilac Rose. We also had some stunning head pieces and vintage bridal brooch bouquets from Ruffled Ruby - they are really beautiful and such a unique and stunning alternative to traditional bouquets.
Custom made vintage tea dresses were supplied by Maggie Molloy - Maggie designs and creates beautiful dresses with the most amazing vintage fabrics - perfect for spring and summer weddings, summer holidays and events.
The high street this year is so influenced by vintage and we featured some fabulous 1950's themed looks from Zara and Pennys.
The stunning hair looks were created by Sarah Hickey, she's a fabulous freelance hair stylist and really gets that vintage vibe that's so popular right now.
And most importantly we had not one but two very talented photographers, Kevin Murphy and Jody Neville who are both the most fun to work with and always produce fabulous shots!
From a makeup perspective, I wanted to nod to vintage but still keep the looks clean and contemporary and my main focus was on the skin - creating that perfect base.
So I thought I would share this image of Katriona from Lockdown agency and chat through the products and techniques to create this look!
As this look was all about base base base this is where a lot of time was spent. On cleansed and moisturised skin, I applied Charlotte Tilburys magic cream as primer. This was followed by MAC's BB cream to give the perfect canvas and then MAC Face and Body focussing mostly on the centre panel of the face. I concealed using MACs pro concealor palette using the tiniest brush and only applying exactly where needed.
Contouring was with Tom Ford contour and highlight applied with a brush in the hollows of the cheek and underneath the cheekbone and blended with a sponge.
Blush was Chanel cream blush applied with the finger tips and blended lightly.
At this stage I set with a very light application of MAC prep and prime powder, avoiding the highlighted areas on top of the cheek bones, nose and top of lips.
I used the Charlotte Tilbury eye palette The Sophisticate to highlight and contour the eye and black liner by Clinque. Eyebrows were defined using the Crownbrush eyebrow powder.
Lips were a mix of two colours in the Crownbrush lip palette, red all over with a touch of orange shimmer shade in the centre to highlight and plump.
