The Importance of Using a Professional Hair and Make-up Artist For Your Boudoir Shoot

One of the most important and most popular steps in your boudoir photography session is having your hair and make-up professionally styled by a qualified hair and make-up artist.

It can be a little nerve wracking or intimidating to pass over the control and let someone else apply your make-up and style your hair however it really does provide the best results. It is so easy as women with hectic schedules and busy lives to rarely have time for ourselves, and sometimes our make-up and hair falls into a rut.

Here at Memento Studios our make-up artist Jillian Elizabeth uses professional airbrush make-up which will stand up to our studio lighting and will also provide a flawless and natural coverage!

Why should you book professional hair and make-up styling?

• Jillian uses only top quality professional product that will make your skin look at its best and that stand up to our professional studio lighting
• Takes the stress away from trying to get your own hair and make-up perfect
• An opportunity to try out a look that you feel you cannot create on yourself e.g. perfect smokey eyes.
• To allow yourself some much needed pampering and a chance to relax and have a glass of bubbly before your shoot

Whats Included

• Primer will be applied to get your skin in tip top condition 
• Professional make-up look of your choice using airbrush make-up
• Professional hair styling to a look of your choice

whether it be 50's pin up or natural make-up with loose waves or dark smokey eyes with bouncy volumatic hair we can find the perfect look for you.

Don't just take our word for it, Here are some before and after images teamed up with boudoir photographs from some of our previous clients!

Chrissie has naturally beautifully pale skin and was a little worried about having her make-up done as she often finds it difficult to find a foundation to suit her natural skin tone. We discussed hair and make-up style that she likes and settled on a very subtle and elegant look to enhance her natural beauty. I have applied Chrissie very soft eyes and natural lip colour and added in loose curls.

The Gorgeous Penny decided to go for a slight 50's pin up look with flawless skin, flicked eyeliner and red lips. For her hair she has some gorgeous volume and a pin curl.

The gorgeous Sarah wanted to go fo really natural skin with dark smokey eyes and red lips. She wanted a bed head tousled hair look that could be moved around and played with during her shoot.

For Laurens first look she decided on soft natural flawless make-up with a side fish tale braid.

Lauren opted for a restyle to really make the most of her shoot, this time she decided on dark smokey eyes and plack 'PVC' looking lips to bring out her darker side! She has loose curls through her gorgeous long dark hair which is perfect for boudoir!

Jillian Also provides a full range of beauty treatments that can compliment your shoot, so as well as getting your hair and make-up styled you can have a relaxing manicure or pedicure, shellac or weekend lashes.

Jillian also offers lots of beauty treatments that you can come for before your shoot to help you look your best like body waxing, facials and massage
