"Make-up Tips and Things..."


Hi, I'm Rachel Wood & I want to be able to share my makeup tips & things with you all....I mean, not everyone out there really wants to take advice from their Mum on this particular subject do they?!
I don't know about you, but I found it dead tricky to work out how to use all the millions of different products & stuff out there. I mean, there's just SO much to choose from, I never knew where to start & always made such a mess! Which is kinda why I fell into the job I do now...
I originally came from NYC but moved over here just over 10 years ago to study at Greasepaint & The London College of Beauty. Now I work in all sorts of areas of makeup - music promos & catwalks, powdering Pretty Boy's nose at Wicked Magazine shoots & sticking glitter in places I never knew glitter should stick, at Manumission in Ibiza!

So now I want to share my handy hints with you! No more Friday nights up to your armpits in crusty coverup & goopy mascara...just gorgeous Bambi eyes & A-Lister smiles!

"that Instant White is the best!Whiten ur teeth straight away - in photos & in real life! You must check it out at www.instantwhite.co.uk x" (2 weeks ago) me too!

Music
Music is my passion & LOVE that I get to spend a lot of time working in the music industry! I've worked with some really cool bands like Kasabian & Hard Fi. Dance music is my first love though & got to spend 2 seasons working out in Ibiza! Plus I love a bit of old skool hip hop like Sugar Hill Gang & the Beastie Boys. I'm digging the Klaxxons & Hot Chip right now...but don't get me started on boy/girl bands that rip off No.1's & make em into a pants watered down version of a fab original, makes me break out in a rash! If I have to listen to pop, it's Madonna all the way and poor Britney had me with Toxic but now I think she needs a detox! And last but not least, I love some classic rock stuff like the Chilli Peppers, Pink Floyd & Led Zep...
Films
I'm also huge film buff..another reason why it's great to be a makeup artist. I worked on some on some Hollywood famous faces like the High School Musical cast, Ewan McGregor & cutie Jered Leto! I'm into all kinds of film from blockbusters like Gladiator..mafia movies - Godfather, Goodfellas..I have a guilty pleasure for period dramas - Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde, Shakespeare - I don't know what it is about rolling hills, ladies in corsets & lots of swooning but I can't get enough!! I adore American teen comedies, I've watched Mean Girls a 100 times! Clueless, Superbad & 10 Things I Hate about you. Legally Blonde is my all time favourite to watch in bed when I'm ill. Has anyone seen Juno? It made me giggle for hours! Hate overly testosterone type male dominated films about sports or cars & stupid slapstick humour, I can't deal with Mr. Bean! Oh, & nothing too gory like Saw or Hostel - I get way too scared & the blood makes me want to blow chunks!
Sports
I love yoga, my spin classes, roller-blading in Hyde Park & boxing. I'm terrible at watching sport though?! Back in high school in New York I was a cheerleader but never sat through one full game & never knew what was going on - DOH! I've been lucky enough to work with Ryan Giggs, Frank Lampard & Josh Lewsey. I was in Australia last year & got to see Roger Federer at the tennis..I can appreciate the strength & the speed that goes into the game but by the 3rd game I had to entertain myself by keeping score on who wore the best tennis outfits rather than their swing..oops! If there was 1 sport that I wish I could do well, that would be surfing - I used to surf a little & v badly when I was younger. I mean, how hot is Kelly Slater!
Scared Of
Well lots of stuff...scary movies which I already mentioned! I hate heights, I get vertigo! Flying turbulence ( I have to say a little prayer & breathe deeply to calm down!) Cockroaches, creepy crawlies, clowns especially that of the travelling circus variety!
Happiest When
There are so many things that make me smile! Sunshine & good weather (I definitely didn't move to the UK for that!) so I love a good beach holiday. I can sit in the sun with a good book all day. My friends make me laugh, I love chocolate, the smell of fresh baked bread, thick black rock 'n roll eyeliner & a tonne of mascara, new clothes, going clubbing & out for dinner with my friends. I love to bake, it chills me out & I make a mean carrot cake! Art museums, cool exhibitions - the Hayward Gallery. I'm happy in the UK coz there's always an exhibition, a show, a movie, something new to do...I love to travel & been blessed to work in some crazy locations - music videos in Scotland, a fashion spread at a monastery designed by Michael Angelo looking down on to Florence in Italy, made up a bride in Australia & painted glitter on to dancers in Ibiza!! I guess I'm happiest when I'm working...

SUMMER BALL & PROM MAKEUP
Hey everyone- hope you've been enjoying the sunshine like I have!
Lots of you have been writing in asking for ideas and help with your makeup and hair looks for up coming summer balls and proms- so here are a few suggestions to help you to look your extra special best-

The most important thing you all should remember is that your makeup and hair should suit both you & your dress for the occasion.

For example- if you have a 1950's style prom dress and you have- long hair.. how about styling your hair in a 1950's cute little quiff and pony tail. Then pick up a few colours in the dress - say it has a hot pink bow.. well then pick up this detail from the dress and apply it to your makeup- like wearing a matching hot pink lipstick. Then to go with your 1950's theme- add cute little black eyeliner flicks and maybe a few single black false lashes to your eyes.

You're all pretty internet friendly- hey you're all using Bebo- so google different era's of time and fashion for makeup and hair references- you'll be the most stylish student at the ball! Also take your prom outfit out with you when you do your makeup shopping to get a correct match for tones and colours.

here's another example- If you're wearing a hippie style maxi dress- maybe do your hair in soft waves- by twisting sections of your hair around a curling tong and keeping your makeup fresh - cream blusher and soft gloss.

Or if your dress is very modern and silver metallic - pick up the silver with a wash of shimmery eye shadow and keep the hair more slick and straight.

Don't forget all those important finishing touches- like maybe a touch of fake tan (read my earlier blog on fake tanning for tips on how to apply) shave those legs, add a spray of your favourite perfume to your wrists and neck and of course make sure your smile is looking its sparkling best with a coat of pearl drops instant white.

have fun at your proms and have a little dance for me

Fashion Show Style Vamp Lips

I am always searching for what the next hot look will be. Funny thing is no matter how trends in beauty may change- one iconic look always pops up every other season- the Golden Age of Hollywood. For a glamourous evening out, a 1940's vamp is always a winner. A strong lip always makes bold statement and it's easy to pair up eyes with just a few lashings of lovely mascara.

This past London Fashion Week I designed an entire makeup look for the Qasimi label's debut show just around a statement lip. The designers wanted an homage to 1947. I found the most delicious red- plum shade from Nars- Scarlet Empress from their latest collection. I kept the skin even and matt, added touch of bronzer on the cheeks and eyes to keep everything neutral, a bit of dark brown eye liner on the top layer of lashes and then let the lips do the talking. It was a show stopper and gave a clean modern twist to an old classic.

For an extra vamp effect and to give the lips a touch more pout- I took a dark brown lip pencil and only shaded in the corners of the mouth leaving the cupids bow of the lips full and puckered.

One thing that is important to watch out for with dark lips is that it can high light stained teeth so I found using a product like Pearl Drops Instant White will work wonders. It gives a bit of pearly white sparkle to the teeth, masks yellow stains like a tooth makeup and comes off easily when you brush your teeth! Super for coffee drinkers.

Hey

Ive been looking for a quick and easy teeth whitening product for ages now, and when i cam across this page advertising the pearl drops instant white it was like a godsend for me.

Yet after a little research, some people seem to say the results arent all they are made out to be and i would like to ask you how effective it really is?
