Asara
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2010, Bridal on January 31, 2011
These beautiful images were taken by Robert Miller for Asara Wine Estate & Hotel.
Arctic Circle, who are currently managing Asara’s brand strategy, approached Miller and together they developed concepts, themes and colour palettes that represent the Asara and the luxuries within.
This shoot was done using exclusively MAC makeup and Loreal hair products an a ghd styler. I kept the makeup to a neutral colour palette, blotting off lipstick and contouring her eyes and face with subdued gentle tones. I used a ghd to create pin-curls which I left in for the duration of the makeup application before releasing the clips.

Constantia Uitsig Wedding
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Bridal on September 30, 2010

A few Saturday’s ago I was employed by the Cape Town School of Photography to do the hair and make-up for a wedding workshop they were organizing with Mark Kalkwarf. Nick Coyne was amongst the photographers attending the class and was sweet enough to forward these images to me.
The mock wedding took place at Constantia Uitsig and the models were from Trigger. All of these photographs were taken by Nick Coyne in 2010.

Caitlin
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Bridal on September 17, 2009

Caitlin models a look that pleases her parents yet still flirts with the boho spirit of carefree playfulness.
Make-Up: Main Make-up Ingredients: MAC: Apply Strobe Cream — to give the skin radiance, the buff Studio Fix Fluid -( in my experience it’s the longest wearing of MAC’s foundations which makes it ideal for brides) into the skin with a stippling brush (I like the #187). Apply “Shroom” to the inner corners of the eye, “vanilla” under the brow bone, “Cork” and “bronze” to the crease, “All that glitters” to the ball of the eye and “graphblack” technakohl liner along the lashline with an angle brush. Fuzz the liner with a #219 pencil brush along the edge of the eye and into the outer edges of the crease. Gently exaggerate the line of the eye with “blacktrack” fluidline. Set the brows with clear brow gel, and then gently fill them… [ Read more ]

Set the brows with clear brow gel, and then gently fill them in with eyebrow pencil: “lingering”, gently dust some “gingerly” (sheertone) blush onto the cheekbone for a girly glow. Dust over the entire face with Prep+Prime transparent finishing powder and then finish the lips with “smoothberry” lipliner and “full-for-you” plushglass to really accentuate that pout.
Hair: Spritz the hair with GHD “thermal protector” spray, section the hair and… [ Read more ]

An additional post of the Robert Miller/ Chelsea L fresh faced bridal look. I sculpted her face with texture rather than lines.
Robert and I went for some “Bridal shots”. Rob and Cally and I were testing with Chelsea L from Infinity – Cally had a Gavin Rajah silvery, slinky, beaded wedding dress with her so we went ahead with a fresh skinned “bridal” look.
