Audrey Hepburn style makeup Feb 25, 2013

I love recreating different "looks" as well as doing straight beauty makeup. Author and storyteller Gail Nyoka chose a makeup look like the film actress Audrey Hepburn wore in her glamorous movies like "Breakfast at Tiffany's". The false eyelashes, black eyeliner, full square edged eyebrows and pink lips are the main points of this look. In the inspiration photo it is actually Calista Flockhart done up by the late, great makeup artist Kevin Aucoin to look like Audrey Hepburn. I didn't go for a complete transformation with a wig and clothes, but wanted to do the makeup only. Gail loved it!

Everyday beauty makeup before and afters.

Here are some recent makeup jobs I did to 
demonstrate to women how they can use makeup for every day beauty. I applied their makeup and explained to them how to do it themselves. Women can come to my 
studio with their own makeup and I can incorporate what they already have and suggest new techniques and products to enhance their beauty. A photo for clients to use as their personal or business head shot can be part of the experience. Makeup application and tips only $65. With naturally lit photo $150. With studio lighting and white background $275. Call Margaret 416-655-4863 or email wireless.way@hotmail.com.

Haircut Fun


Before the haircut.

Rocking a 70's look.

Wow, the girls were taking notice when he went out of the studio!
I am not a trained hairstylist, but I guess I have a natural flare for hair cutting because I  transformed this young man. He in desperate need of a haircut and allowed me to have some fun with it. Leaving the hair long on the sides I first styled him into a 70's guy, then slicked it back for a clean, handsome look. Check out the photos!
