Happy Valentines Day Kittens. To those of you who are in love, searching for love, recovering from love or indulging in self love I wish you nothing but joy and satisfaction for the next 24 hours. Smile at strangers, buy flowers for someone who needs them, plant a tree, pick up someone else’s trash, treat yourself to something spectacular and give yourself the license to dream: enter Princess Jacalini’s NoMU competition.

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.

Gothic Playtime
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Alternative, Beauty, Modeling, Test Shoots on October 5, 2010
A few weeks ago I found myself in Robert Miller‘s studio for an afternoon of “play.” Rob and I hoped to tackle the challenge of gothic/vampire pale – something which is extremely difficult for photographers and make-up artists to get right.
Despite the difficulty of the task, I feel that Rob and I nailed it and produced one of the better examples of gothic glam.
I used Kryolan water-based white face paint on my skin, applying it first in thick sweeping motions with MAC’s #187 brush, and then smoothing it over smaller areas with the #249 brush and buffing it into delicate skin such as around the eyes with the #227 brush. The amazing shiny lip was produced by using Hourglass “Extreme Sheen” in “Siren.” Hourglass is an amazing brand that I discovered whilst in Los Angeles last December – seek out the hourglass mascara for great definition… [ Read more ]

Ooh, I Want That!
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Editorial, Vintage on August 18, 2010
The second NoMU poster that I worked on with Robert Miller was with the friendly and fabulous Vicky Sleet.
Like the CTG NoMU poster it apeared at the Woolworths Engine and had a variety of wonderful prizes up for grabs.
Vicky did the styling herself, tracking down a fabulous 50′s style dress, gloves, wig and even shoes that matched her belt. It comes as no surprise to anyone who has visited Vicky’s blog that she would put together a fabulous outfit!
Vicky’s blog that is all about beautiful people, places, designs, stationary and things. Basically she has great taste and celebrates all the things she deems wonderful on her lovely lovely blog. Click Here to check it out. I warn you though, you,re bound to find yourself adopting it’s title and shouting out (to whoever will listen:) “I want that now!”

Vanessa Haywood
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Beauty, Test Shoots on August 17, 2010
I recently had the pleasure of painting the already beautiful face of Vanessa Haywood. I was expecting attitude and diva-esque demands from the star of the science fiction thriller District 9 but instead found myself having a good chat and a giggle with this blonde bombshell.
As you can see, we went for a smouldery, sexy yet sophisticated look. I used MAC‘s Studio Fix fluid to give her a porcelain finish beneath the harsh studio lights, MAC‘s moisture-blend concealer to blur any “imperfections” and cream blush to give her cheeks additional glow. Her classic smokey eye was created with the help of the ultimate smudge kohl pencil in “smolder” and grey and silver pigments, and her lips were lined with “subculture” lip pencil and filled with “lightning” limited edition gloss.

Storm in a Sweet Rub
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Editorial on July 1, 2010
Better late than never, this was the NOMU Sweet Rub competition poster featuring Cape Town Girl.
I used MAC’s Studio Finish foundation to give her even plastic perfection and mixed together “Rocking Chick” lipstick with “Show Orchid” Lipstick (both MAC) topped off with MAC’s clear lipglass for the loud and proud pout.
