karlapowellmua: “It only reveals itself upon intimate inspection”. Part of the internationally published and exhibited ‘Abandoned Fashion Series’ project by photographer Luke Woodford.  I was honoured to be the main Makeup, Hair and Nail artist to continue his project but this time in Belgium. The best thing about this project was the team I went along to Belgium with- Talented,  passionate creatives! I can honestly hold my hands up high and say this is one of my best photo-shoots I have ever done. The adventure alone was so fun and inspiring. Some of you were following the lead up to this photo-shoot where I created and shared the make-up looks and nails I made ready for the shoot, so to finally show you it all in action above is so exciting- The images were took by so many different talented photographers which came along to the shoot, I can’t thank them enough capturing the moment and being able to share it with you all. Inspiration behind the Make-up: I witness so many make-up artists looking at other make-up artist’s work- And to be honest a lot of people will either copy or actually can’t design and create their own ideas! I find sometimes by looking at other artists work it can be distracting from designing your looks. So for this look I wanted to do something that I have NOT seen anywhere or any other artist do- and I would say this is down to visualising the look in my head(mainly before I sleep), sketching ideas and being inspired by the designer’s garments we used in Belgium- Malgorzata Dudek! Luke trusted me with 100% control of the looks which gave me more of a chance to be as creative as I can be. Looking at the dresses which had spider patterns and a highly dramatic intricately detail, I took the pattern designs from the silks and laser cut metal elements with a vision of high fashion make-up & hair look with spiky patterns which are a secret message, “It only reveals itself upon intimate inspection”.

“It only reveals itself upon intimate inspection”.

Part of the internationally published and exhibited ‘Abandoned Fashion Series’ project by photographer Luke Woodford.  I was honoured to be the main Makeup, Hair and Nail artist to continue his project but this time in Belgium. The best thing about this project was the team I went along to Belgium with- Talented,  passionate creatives! I can honestly hold my hands up high and say this is one of my best photo-shoots I have ever done. The adventure alone was so fun and inspiring.

Some of you were following the lead up to this photo-shoot where I created and shared the make-up looks and nails I made ready for the shoot, so to finally show you it all in action above is so exciting- The images were took by so many different talented photographers which came along to the shoot, I can’t thank them enough capturing the moment and being able to share it with you all.

Inspiration behind the Make-up:

I witness so many make-up artists looking at other make-up artist’s work- And to be honest a lot of people will either copy or actually can’t design and create their own ideas! I find sometimes by looking at other artists work it can be distracting from designing your looks. So for this look I wanted to do something that I have NOT seen anywhere or any other artist do- and I would say this is down to visualising the look in my head(mainly before I sleep), sketching ideas and being inspired by the designer’s garments we used in Belgium- Malgorzata Dudek! Luke trusted me with 100% control of the looks which gave me more of a chance to be as creative as I can be. Looking at the dresses which had spider patterns and a highly dramatic intricately detail, I took the pattern designs from the silks and laser cut metal elements with a vision of high fashion make-up & hair look with spiky patterns which are a secret message, “It only reveals itself upon intimate inspection”.
