Rochelle Perks Mua

Hi i'm Rochelle and i'm 25, I have always enjoyed doing make-up and only started properly last year in April after doing a make-up and consultancy course at one of the Bristol's Colleges called Ashley Down.

Since then I have done many different photoshoots ranging from the 1950's - modern day make-up.

I have really caught the make-up bug and absolutely love all things to do with make-up like fashion week in London, New York, Paris etc. Plus I have also recently completed my first bridal make-up and have more lined up.

I am starting my own business soon as well and will hold Make-up Parties and I have my first on friday (1st march) this week.

Ginger Harris

A complete make up geek, I am in LOVE with the research, design and completion of make up looks. From start to finish I immerse myself in every project and always try to take everything one step further until I have created something original, without crossing the boundary into the garish.

I have skills that vary from airbrushing, to period cosmetic design, to avant garde music video styling and horror make ups. Thanks to brief and client led projects I have had hands on experience in a wide variety of situations, working on runway make up for fashion shoots, test-shoots for editorials and period designs for on screen.

While I am still finding my feet in the industry, my finished work has always had attention to detail and the finesse which I believes makes it Industry Standard.

cosmetics

Cosmetics in the 1920s were characterised by their use to create a specific look: lips painted in the shape of a Cupid's bow, kohl-rimmed eyes, and bright cheeks brushed with bright red blush

The heavily made-up look of the 1920s was a reaction to the demure, feminine Gibson girl of the pre-war period

In the 1920s, an international beauty culture was forged, and society increasingly focused on novelty and change. Fashion trends influenced theatre films, literature, and art. 

Women also found a new need to wear more make-up. A skewed postwar gender ratio created a new emphasis on sexual beauty. Additionally, as women began to enter the professional world, publications such as the French Beauty Industry encouraged women to wear makeup so as to look their best while competing with men for employment.

the bob

A "bob cut" is a short haircut for women in which the hair is typically cut straight around the head at about jaw-level, often with a fringe at the front. Traditionally women in the west had worn their hair long and short hair was not considered respectable. An exception was Lady Diana Cooper an aristocratic socialite who had always worn her hair short.

Lady Diana Cooper, Viscountess Norwich

After working as a nurse during the war and working as editor of the magazine Femina, she wrote a column in the Beaverbrook newspapers before turning to the stage and latterly silent films. 

The First World War was a major factor as women who were engaged in war work found long hair an inconvenience. Renowned dancer and fashion trendsetter Irene Castle introduced the bob to an American audience in 1915 calling it “the castle bob”.

The hairstyle was further popularised by film stars Colleen Moore and Louise Brooks in the early 1920s, it was then seen as a somewhat shocking statement of independence in young women.

Hairdressers, whose training was mainly in arranging and curling long hair, were slow to realise that short styles for women had arrived to stay, and so barbers in many cities found lines of women outside their shops, waiting to be shorn of hair that had taken many years to grow.
