Schön! Exclusive editorial - Midnight In The Tropics

Make Up and Hair: Heather B. Photographer: Alyssa Boni. Stylist: Maya Linhares-Marx. Nails: Jessica Thompson. Retouch: Timothy Bennett.

I have been bursting to share this and finally it is published! Hurrah! See full Schön! Online Exclusive editorial here! 

This editorial is a thing of beauty and of course it would be, as it was the brainchild of the very talented Alyssa Boni who Art Directed and shot the lot.

I used only one pot of MAC pigment in Marine Ultra to cover the model... yes just one! Those little blighters go a looooong way, fact. I also used MAC Eye Kohl in Blooz to define the eye. Hair was a SLEEK wig (I kid you not) that I trimmed to suit and then the finishing styling was done using Bumble & Bumble products.

As for the jewellery... WANT!

BRIDES Big Day Look Book - May/June 2014

Make-up & Hair by Heather B using Chanel S 2014 and Bumble & Bumble. Photography: Catherine Gratwicke. Styling: Laura Burkitt.

A Big Day Look Book that was inspired by gilded Victoriana and the rich purples, pinks and velvety opulence of the era. This shoot was pretty spectacular to say the least. Brides had invited Tony Marklew and Javier Salvador from 'Only By Design' to recreate a decadent visual feast fit for a bride, and that they did! The colours, flowers, decor, fabrics, dresses and headwear really inspired my make-up & hair looks here. I used Chanel S 2014 to create the rosy glow and rich stained lip in the pic above left and a more solid rouged lip in the image above right. Hair was prepped using Bumble & Bumble and then pinned up into the first style above and then the second style below. To change hair like this it's all about the prep work!

I also had 4 young children to make-up, Noah, Ophelia, Ruby and Raya seen below. It was just a matter of hair styling and a bit of rouge for these little beauties, so cute!

Here is a pic of our gorgeous model Tatjana behind the scenes with a full block lip, no filter, no photoshop...

A*M*E Beauty Junkie

Here's an insight into A*M*E's fave make-up and beauty products for ASOS Magazine. Including products that I've used on A*M*E for her music videos like MAC Pigments and SMASHBOX Lid Primer. Make-up by me, using one of A*M*E's faves on the lips, MAC Ruby Woo.

Even though you can't really see my make-up handy work, I thought I would share this with you anyway as I really, really love this picture of A*M*E taken by Leonie Hampton for FADER Magazine, Issue 82-Photo Issue. Check out Kim Taylor Bennett's story on A*M*E here... GEN F: AME.

Swimwear to warm yer cockles!

Photographer: Andrew Robert Fox - Stylist: Amy Li - Make-up & Hair: Heather B. 

Some of you may remember I posted a pic of this shoot behind the scenes in Brighton... Well here it is! A shoot to warm yer cockles in the snow and remind you that (fingers crossed) the warm weather cometh... or at least, it can only get warmer... hopefully.

Now I bet you won't believe this but A) These pics we're taken in Brighton and B) It was absolutely freezing that day too! Our amazing model Eden was a true Amazon or in Yorkshire speak, a proper trooper.

UV Bond girl-esque editorial

Photographer: Andrew Robert Fox - Stylist: Amy Li - Make-up & Hair: Heather B.

Here's a very bond girl-esque swimwear shoot I did the make-up and hair on last year that was published as the 'Editor's Pick' in HUF Magazine here.

I found it really interesting experimenting with different UV make-up, paint and textures to achieve the looks we wanted. Not quite as easy as you might think but hey! That's the arty, design geek in me. Love these two graphic images especially.

What do you think?

Behind the scenes in Brighton...

Doubling up as a behind the scenes photographer here showing Andrew Fox, photographer at work! Looking forward to sharing the actual shoot that will be published later in the year. Watch this space...

Olympic Podium Magazine shoot - @SportingPodium

Simple glowing make-up (using MAC www.maccosmetics.co.uk) and grooming on this graphic OLYMPIC attire shoot for Podium Magazine prior to the Olympics.Great fun and a talented team. Photographer - Steven Jackson, Model - Nick Beer@ W ATHLETIC, a cycling and swimming athlete himself.

Whilst on this Olympic attire tip, I've got to say hat's off to ADIDAS and STELLA McCARTNEY for a stirling job on the Olympic clothing. If you look good, you perform well. Fact. And Great Britain cut an absolute dash. Not to mention the attire worn by the huge cast of volunteers. PLUS the ADIDAS campaign prior to/during the Olympics, #takethestage and post Olympics, #stagetaken was totally inspired!

Well done ADIDAS. Well done STELLA McCARTNEY and of course... WELL DONE TEAM GB!!!
