Professional make-up artist Jessica Strutt does make-up for my boudoir shoots, and we somehow got taking about how we both work with a lot of 50+ ladies and how we enjoy it. Jessica talks a lot to women about how skin changes when we get older, and in general women can lose their way a bit when it comes to make-up. At what age do you stop wearing false eyelashes? How do you move away from blindly doing your make-up the same every single day for years and years?
\nSo, we came up with idea of hosting a day, just for 50+ women where we would teach them how to do great make-up, and show them how fantastic they look by doing some elegant portraits of them.<\/p>\n
We had 10 spaces and they filled up very quickly (including a couple of not yet 50, but still fabulous girls!)<\/h2>\n
One the day, everyone arrived with suitcases full of clothing options, make-up bags at the ready and full of excitement.
\nFuelled by chunky chocolate biscuits, teas and coffee the morning started with Jess showing everyone how to do a flawless daytime make-up, and everyone then had a chance to apply the techniques on themselves, with Jess on hand to help out. As the girls finished their make-up they moved on to having their pictures taken. We did a set up that looked great as an elegant portrait but could also be used as a professional profile image.<\/p>\n

After a tapas inspired buffet lunch, Jess moved on to demonstrate how to achieve those smokey eyes look, for an evening out.
\nThere was a bit more scope for variation in the images in the afternoon, depending on what the girls had in mind. It turned out quite a few of them had arrived with a secret selection of lingerie and there were some brilliant boudoir shots at the end of it \u2013 some happy husbands at Christmas!<\/p>\n
