Faye Smith Makeup & Hair Artist - Demonstrating for CHANEL at The Bay, Oakridge Mall, Vancouver, BC, Canada - Feb/March 2010

I was kindly asked by fellow makeup artist, Tina Wu, to join the CHANEL makeup team at The Bay, Oakridge Mall, in the the promotional demonstrations of our new lipstick line, Rouge Coco. I of course accepted the offer and was working within the CHANEL team for the first time on Friday26th February 2010. I began the day by doing a full makeover on a customer using all of CHANEL's finest products. This was a great way for me to jump in and learn about our line quickly and effectively. The day was a success and I was asked to join the team for a second time the following Monday, being today. I look forward to joining the team again today and hope to work with them regularly.

What a fun photo shoot! As I was struggling for time, we began to apply Tiffany's Gnome beard outside the studio as we waited for our photographer, Aaron Chung to arrive. It all turned out well as beard applications are such a messy job, it meant we kept it all outside rather than creating fur balls around the clean studio we were shooting in.

I had prepared the beard in advance by steaming it straight, seperating it and combing, blending all of the hairs together, creating little piles ready for application. It was applied using spirit gum, a contact adhesive that is activated by tapping it. The piles of hair are then twisted, trimmed at an angle and pressed on the activated glue. This is done section by section until a huge beard and moustache are adhered to the face. I then comb through the beard pulling out all of the loose hairs until I achieve the thickness I desire. In this case, a Gnome is a character with quite an unrealistic beard. A real life beard would very rarely be this thick and long. I then use my comb and hair scissors to trim the beard to the desired length. To finish up, I use 99% alcohol and tweezers to pill away any stray hairs that don't look natural or fall in the wrong place. The same process was used for the application of the eye brows, using a white hair paint to colour Tiffany's dark eyebrows underneath, so that they cannot be seen through the white hairs I am applying.


After the beard, moustache and brows were applied I followed with a very basic makeup with exagerated, rouge cheeks. For a final touch, we painted a set of false lashes white and applied then using Duo.

Our look was now final and Stephanie was ready to get Tiffany dressed in the amazing costumes that she had made. Our character was ready to shoot and what amazing shots we got out of this!

Faye Smith Makeup & Hair Artist for DJ Brent Faddies Promotional Shoot

I had the honour of being the makeup artist and hair stylist to work with DJBfad, Sugar Creative Photography and Stylist Jenn Chang on a collaborative, promotional photo shoot this February 2010. The makeup and hair was very simply and quick to apply with exagerated contouring to accomodate to the dimmed lighting. The shots will soon be seen on www.vancouver-dj.ca once they are launched.

Faye Smith Makeup & Hair Artist for the Video FAQ found at www.altavisionplus.com

In late 2009 I volunteered to work with IAM Webs filming with QUBE Films as a makeup and hair artist for the production of http://www.altavisionplus.com/ 's Video FAQ. The day was a comfortably early start and everyone was pretty relaxed from the beginning. The makeup and hair application didn't take long. Just some simple corrective and anti-shine makeup. I was on hand throughout the shoot to powder when the bright lights in the studio made the room heat up. It wasn't too long before we wrapped and the day was finished. The day was a great experience working on set.

The Video FAQ has now been launched on altravision's website; http://www.altavisionplus.com/ and the credits will be up soon.

This was a volunteer positioned filmed in Richmond, BC, Canada over a one week period. I was the makeup artist & hair stylist for the shooting day based at the Richmond Fire Station. The day was so much fun from start to finish. Matthew David and his co-workers were a pleasure to work with and I was well looked after on the shoot. We all sung along as we recorded the same scenes over and over until we had the shot we needed and moved on to the next set up. The video was recorded for Richmond to welcome all of the athletes involved in the 2010 Winter Olympics and is now launched along with the single. Check out the weblinks provided for coverage!

Faye Smith UK Makeup Artist & Hair Stylist - Photoshoot at Kent University, England, UK with photographer, Rob Owen and model, Victoria B

Photoshoot at Kent University, England, UK with photographer, Rob Owen and model, Victoria B

The shoot took place at Keele University in England, UK over the Christmas period of 2009. The building is absolutely stunning. A great example of classic, english architecture. Our model, Victoria B, is a natural beauty and perfectly fits the surroundingss. I begin the shoot by applying a natural makeup and we shoot around the dusty book shelves. We then change our look to a high fashion, purple smokey eye and a simple up-do to match her classy outfit and shoot around the big, detailed door frames. To finish the day, just as it begins to snow, we dress her in black tied with a stunning, grey fur coat and darken her smokey eye and lip colour. I slick her hair back into a sophistiacted up-do to complete the look and we go outside to finish our shoot before the sun goes down.

Some of the final shots have now been released to me and can be viewed on Rob Owen's blog spot at flickr via the links listed below:
