New SS14 shoot

Some of my new fashion work was featured in the press this week, shot by Rob Rusling with model beauty Hannah Janes. For this SS14 look I used Shy Girl lipstick by Mac for a peachy-pop and a big black liquid flick for a bit of retro cool on the eyes xx

Million dollar smile :)

I had the pleasure of doing makeup and hair on lil ray of sunshine and model Cheryl Cunn today. Makeup was fresh and natural for spring with tousled hair. Achieve this hair with Bumble & Bunble volume mouse, a wide barrel tong and lots of Fudge Sea Salt texture spray...

Little ones

Shooting kids for a large retailer today, my product picks were pretty simple. Kids don't need much and the look was cool and fun rather than made-up dollys. 
I lightly tonged hair, added a touch of concealer if needed (Mac select cover), clear gloss (Elizabeth Arden 8hr Cream) and a rosy glow (Mac Fleur Power).

1 Day Freelance Hairstyling Course

My 1 day hair styling course is great for makeup artists that want to learn hair, hair dressers that need to learn hair up techniques and anyone with an interest in working as a hair stylist freelance! 

You learn loads of fantastic fashion and bridal looks:

Hair straightening
Heated rollers
Hair wands
Curl with straighteners
Half up hair
Retro hair
Braiding
Buns 
Topknots

The courses are fun and classes are small - no previous experience is required. 

My studio is city centre based and easy to get to via train, bus and tram.

Lorna recently took the course:

"Hi Nancy! Awww both of us had such an amazing day, thank you so much! I'll send you any progress I make too!!
Thank you so much again, can't wait for the make up course now!! xxx " Feb 2014

The images below are just a handful of the styles Lorna achieved in just one day! 

I hope you would like to book in!

Recent Three Day Course!

Look what some of my lovely students wrote:

"I can not recommended make up manchester's 3 day make up training course enough. Nancy covers an amazing range of skills in the timeframe and is a natural and encouraging tutor. A pleasure to be around and work with. The shoot on the final day is a snapshot of what being a freelance makeup artist really involves and something that few other courses include. I left feeling competent and confident in my skills and ability, something money can't buy! Thank you Nancy!" 



From Rachel Rigg student on Three Day Makeup Course - with a shot from the Photoshoot 


"After attending the introduction to freelance makeup course, I had the confidence to start my new career and had learnt so much. Nancy is so friendly and helpful, she is completely supportive throughout. Different techniques and styles are demonstrated clearly and you really feel comfortable asking questions. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone thinking about starting as a freelance makeup artist. Thank you makeup manchester xx"



From Elsa Siddell studeng on the Three Day Course
