The Sunshine Underground - Finally We Arrive

Make-up & Hair: Heather B. Director / Director of Photography & Editor: Dave Aspinall. Producer: Giedre Apanaviciute. Wardrobe: Annike Flo.

When Dave first called me about this music video for The Sunshine Underground, I was intrigued by his noir style concept and LOVED the 80's vibe to the single but ultimately, being a West Yorkshire girl myself (The Sunshine Underground are based in Leeds), how could I refuse!

My job, was to create Make-up & Hair looks for the 3 girls and it was really important to channel the individual characters for each one. Dave had a really clear vision in his head of who the characters were and with the help of Annike's styling I really gained a clear idea of what these girls were about. This influenced not only the finished looks but also the types of products and techniques I used on each girl to keep on character.

A few of my favourite Make-up products used on the shoot were: Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick - Good creamy coverage with a natural look. Bobbi Brown Natural Brow Shaper & Hair Touch Up Gel - Natural Brows. Estée Lauder Double Wear Light - Great coverage with amazing staying power with a matter finish whilst not being too heavy. Estée Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover - Amazing full, matt coverage that lasts for hours on end. Estée Lauder Stay In Place Gel Eyeliner - Smooth application and long wear. Mac Lipsticks in Russian Red, Chilli and Film Noir. Mac Strobe Cream and Mac Blot Powders.

Fave products used for hair: A Sleek wig. Bumble & Bumble Tonic Lotion - To de-tangle and prep hair. Great on porous or coloured hair. Bumble & Bumble Thickening Hairspray - Pretty much does what it says on the tin. KMS Add Volume Styling Foam - Really great styling mousse, works for most styles. Schwartkopf got2be Blasting Freeze Spray - The ultimate hairstyle freeze spray. A bit of water and Goldwell Pump Freeze Spray helped me do these fine urban finger waves that Sara (the actress) and I loved...

A really great talented team worked on this video, who all worked really hard in various locations across London. Hope you enjoy! If you love the single then you'll be pleased to know you can pre-order their album 'The Sunshine Underground' here.

"And finally..." *she sings in style of track* (see what I did there) here are some brilliant behind the scenes shots by Vobla Unsane.

Introducing... Secaina Hudson

Make-up & Hair: Heather B. Shot by: Joseph Sinclair. Styling: Oliver Vaughn. 

"I ain't with you today and I ain't with you tomorrow so, you should go pack your things and go back to where you came from oh" catchy right?

Secaina keeps it real in her debut video for her track 'I Ain't With You'. No gimmicks, no fuss, just her, all filmed on Super 8 by Joseph Sinclair.

I kept her Make-up simple using MAC products. Strong brows, smudged eyeliner with a hint of neutral pink on the lips for the photo shoot and a red stained lip for the video. Hair simply scraped back into a ponytail.

This entire shoot really captures Secaina's laid back but no messing vibe... and she ain't messing, 'cause this is a TUNE if ever I've heard one!

Here's some behind the scenes pics... See if you can spot Wayne, Secainas manager multi-tasking to the max! Emailing / directing / being DJ / doggie sitting... is there no end to this mans talents?! And of course Joseph's unbelievably cute assistant, Stewie Sinclair the Yorkiepoo!

A*M*E - Heartless Video

 DRUM ROLL PLEASE... the wait is over!

Get yer dancing shoes on. Here, is A*M*E's NEW video for her forthcoming single HEARTLESS and It's what you'd call, a proper pop anthem. Fact.

Had great time creating all the beautiful make-up looks on A*M*E using MAC make-up with a bit of Revlon and Topshop thrown in too. A*M*E's awesome dancers were made-up to look like gorgeous, graphic clones, with perfect skin, graphic black eyeliner, strong brows and bright lips, again using MAC. Obvs. I couldn't have done all A*M*E's make-up looks AND the 4 dancers make-up and hair all on my own so luckily I had assistance from Sally Watterson and Summer Dyason who did a great job with her dancers, thanks ladies!

If you would like to know more about any of the make-up products used, or any make-up tip requests just leave a comment and I'll get back to you.

And remember... "Don't you leave me in the darkness... no don't you be so heartless"
