Blog
We don’t usually blog about our shoots because 1. we’d be here forever, and 2. there are so many interesting things going on in the world of fashion of beauty that we’d rather keep you up to date with them! That said, we are very proud of this shoot, not least because of the wonderful team we had to work with, so we thought we should share it with you!
We were delighted when ABX Beauty contacted us to provide the make up for their promotional photoshoot for their training and advertising material. Given ABX provide eyelash extension material and products for industry professionals throughout the country, we were very flattered to be asked to be part of their team for this shoot. We are big advocates of eyelash extensions for a one off dose of long lasting lashes for holidays, special events (or honeymoons!). We often suggest them to our brides as an alternative to false lashes for their wedding day, as strip lashes can become detached or loose throughout day (especially when heat and tears can loosen the glue!), and the last thing brides want to worry about on their wedding day is eyelashes falling off!
Given that we have been recommending this treatment for years, we were fascinated to see the process involved in creating a beautiful natural full set of lashes. We spent two whole days with Angie from ABX as she carried out the treatments on two separate models, and saw her create a full set of natural dark lashes on fair Hazel (after first dying and perming her lashes), and thicker longer lashes on Gracie, which were then topped off with some beautiful subtle splashes of colour for a more fun look.
We have worked with Burfly on lots of occasions on many projects ranging from model shoots, hairdressing shoots, and promotional shoots for international companies. We consider ourselves very lucky to work so closely with such a talented photogapher, and Alan never fails to produce stunning pictures of the highest quality. This occasion was no exception and we think Alan managed to produce some breathtaking pictures of our models which show off their natural beauty – but also Angie’s handiwork!
Mention also has to be given to our lovely models Hazel and Gracie from Colours Agency in Glasgow. We couldn’t have been more impressed with their professionalism – and how lovely they were! Despite having no idea what they were about to take on, they both worked very hard and pulled off their looks effortlessly – despite having undergone hours of eyelash treatments!
We hope you like the results as much as we do (not that we can take much credit!) – between Angie’s lashes, Alan’s pictures and the stunning ladies we had to work on, we couldn’t have asked for a better team. A big thank you to you all, and hopefully we’ll get to work together again soon!
