Positano : Part Due!

  I had written a post about 'Positano' not too long ago http://nadiramakeup.blogspot.com/search/label/Positano in which I told you more about my experience on a quick job in breathtaking surroundings, than anything else but what was the job?  

Who was the client?

 I can now reveal that I was sent on what had seemed a vague work trip to Italy in early July, in which I was  thinking I was to be the Make Up Artist and Hair Stylist to Collette Dinnigan for a portrait shoot.  When I arrived in Naples, with the Photographer, David Lotfus it was revealed I would actually be getting Collette and her daughter ready for her marriage to the dashing, Bradley Cocks.  The couple soon told me they wanted a private, relaxed day in exquisite surroundings away from it all.

And here is a photograph of the happy couple, looking radiant and relaxed with Collette in one of her own unique designs, of course!
I have already revealed much of the beauty route Collette requested in my earlier post, which was natural with  a hint of definition and this was achieved with Eylure lashes amongst other beauty favourites!
Collette's tresses are beautiful, long and very long in fact, so then suited a little textured wave, achieved with a tiny amount of Sebastian Potion 9 for some hold, then random tonging with a larger barrell around the front sections.  This complimented the delicate crown she wore and was also the best style in 85% humidity.  I wish more brides would go for such a ethereal, understated look to enhance their real beauty.  Collette made a very elegant bride indeed.

I'd like to wish Collette, Bradley and Estella all the best and much happiness and good health for the future.

Short and sweet!

I am a fortunate to travel with my job and go to some beautiful places.  Most recently Positano, near Sorrento, Italy, a breathtaking remote place by the sea.  The job was vague and even now I'm not sure I can reveal much but thought I'd share this romantic setting with you and how brief some of these jobs can be.

This was the view from my balcony in the morning of my job. I had flown in late the night before with the photographer, David Loftus then driven along the windy roads from Naples airport to Positano.  I had been warned I might get car sick, I certainly felt my stomach leap a few times.

The job itself was just a few hours, I began prepping hair at 9.45 am, then completed the make up of soft bronze tones using Dior Rosy Tan 5 Colour Palette on the eyes along with Eylure Individual Lashes, Ellis Faas Skin Veil as a light base and finally Carmex Moisture Plus in Clear.  Hair was styled to a relatively textured style, a slight wave, perfect for 85% humidity.

My taxi picked me up at around 1 pm to drive the one and a half hour journey back to Naples airport for my flight back to the UK.  I told you it was short and sweet!
