Hair sets are super popular on fashion runways, editorial spreads and music videos and are becoming increasingly seen on the streets of Sydney. Think of the Rockabilly crowd sporting their victory rolls, side rolls and pincurls. Or women with hair set by rollers and simplified less-than-perfect interpretations of fingerwaves. Why is this such a popular trend, and what does the team at Lily Jackson love about it?
Asian Hair is unique and with the right hairdresser it can hold amazing shape! The biggest misconception about Asian hair is that you need an Asian hairdresser. Asian hair needs a great hairdresser. About 20% of our clients have Asian hair.
Asian hair is just like any hair type that we look after – it requires understanding of the client, how they live their life and what they want from a hairstyle. The rest is talent and experience.
Read on to find out some great advice on which haircuts suit Asian hair and what works best when styling Asian hair from the Lily Jackson Hair & Make Up experts…
Lets explore some of the amazing hair, make up and body painting creations that the R&B turned Dance artist Kelis has brought to life in her music videos, on the red carpet, in her everyday life and for her album covers as well as editorial shoots. We love Kelis as she is not afraid to try something different and she allows the hair, make up and body painting artists imaginations to run wild!
When a friend invited me to her Mexican themed house warming party my mind started to tick at a million miles an hour thinking of all of the grand possibilities! As a make up artist I can see that Mexican culture has many colourful and creative hair and make up options that can be pulled together to create a fantastic and fun look for a special occasion.
To be the iconic Frida Khalo or sexy sultry Selma Hayek, to dress as a female mexican gangsta (referred to as a Chola), or to paint face like you are attending a Day of the Dead celebration, hmmm….
I figure that the Frida Khalo option will be done by others so push that idea aside and opt instead to transform myself into a Chola. So lets take a look at what this look is about and the emblematic hair, makeup and dress of the Chola…

We recently did the hair and make up for a client who was heading out to be the star model for a Pin-Up style photoshoot. This inspired me to write a HOW TO for you to recreate the look yourself, so read on to find out the key attributes of Pin-Up Girl Make Up…
Primer is used to prepare the skin for make up application. After cleansing, toning and moisturizing the fourth step is to prime.
Primers contain ingredients that aid in making the skin a smooth, even and hydrated surface to which make up will adhere fluidly and evenly. Not only do they help you achieve a seamless make up application, at the same time they give your make up longevity.
In Contour Make Up : Part One we explored skin prep, matte/satin foundation finish and using a monotone colour palette to create the Contoured Make Up Looks Abbey Lee Kershaw and Delta Goodrem have both worn on the covers of Australian Vogue. Now lets look into the final four attributes of this on trend make up style…
I first fell in love with this style of make up a few years ago when a saw it in an editorial spread with make up and hair by Anthony Nader. The model’s hair was platinuum blonde, tied atop of her head in a rough texturised bun. Her stunning blue eyes popped out from the image, eyelids toned with beautiful muted browns and cheeks bronzed just enough to give her an overall healthy glow.
This look is currently experiencing a resurgence in the Australian fashion scene – just take a look at the August 2012 issue of Vogue with model Abbey Lee Kershaw gracing the cover, as well as the more extreme and classic version of the look showcased on the July 2012 cover with Delta Goodrem.
Let’s take a look at how to piece together this make up look…
