A year in the life of Make up artist Amy Prifti - 2014

Wow, what an amazing 2014 this has been!



As well as starting up my own Make up Academy where I have met lots of lovely people, some of whom went on to work along side me and now have their own make up business which I am so proud to be a part of.

I still have my Wedding Hair and Make up business  which I love doing and feel privileged to be a part of any brides big day.

On top to that I have my self employed hair, make up business and beauty business, make and style wigs for various theatre productions and am lucky enough to work at Glyndebourne Opera House during their season in Sussex as well as being the hair stylist for Annabelle's Wigs and having so many fab experiences this year that I don't think I could list them all!

Some of my highlights have been;
CATWALKS
Designing the hair and make up for Isaac Raymond Fashion along with Fran Carter where we was joined by a whole team of make up artists and hair stylists to create all the looks needed for the show.

Styling wigs at the Mia Pichi Catwalk with Annabelle's wigs for Inanch Hair
Styling Annabelle's wigs for the Saropol Show for London Fashion Week with Danny Defreitas

PHOTO SHOOTS

I have been lucky enough to work on so many photo shoots this year so am finding it pretty hard to narrow down my highlights but top on my list would have to be this shoot taken at Amberley Castle in May with the mega talented costume designer Chrissie Nicholson-Wild 


This was a really special shoot for me and will remain strongly in my memories for years to come. Not only because of the amazing dresses that Chrissie lovingly created but because of the team of people I had the pleasure of working with  being so relaxed, professional and making the whole day fun (new friendships were made) plus the location being extra amazing. (It's a real friggin castle that you get to stay in and walk around freely)
Photographer - David Long, Exposure Studios London
Hair pieces - Annabelle's Wigs
Location - Amberley Castle
Costume Designer - Chrissie Nicholson-Wild, Curve Couture

It is always a joy to work with photographer John Farrar and we created lots of fun looks on various models.
 Models; Emily Bunclark, Charlie Ray, PortiaVictoria, Faith Oboe

I would like to thank everyone who I worked with this year for making it such a great, creative and colourful year and I am really looking forward to working with new and old creatives in 2015.

Hope you all have a good one :-) - Amy Prifti  - Hair and make up Artist

Getting Married at Mecure Hotel, Brighton

I met Louise at her wedding trial when she said that she really didn't wear make-up that often and was a bit worried that her hair wouldn't look how she wanted due to the colour and condition. Roll forward a couple of months and Louise's hair was the colour and condition that she wanted and I was able to provide her with a hair piece from Annabelle's Wigs to lengthen the overall style for her wedding day. Louise was very lucky with the weather and her hotel room looked out over the Brighton seafront. On the day, I provided Louise and her mum with Gel Nails, Hair and Make-up - Here's my set up below. I always love getting brides ready for their wedding day in Brighton, it's lovely to have the calm sea with the sun shining. Hair and make-up by Amy Prifti - www.bridalmakeupbyamy.co.uk

Hair & Make-up for the Costume Store's new website

It was great to work with stylist Kate Vaughn and Photographic Studio Imago Photography on this photoshoot providing updated photos for the costume store to use on their website. I was required to apply a very natural make-up with period hair so that the final look could go with all costume changes. The model adapted extremely well and thoroughly enjoyed playing 'dress up' for the day. The costume store is based just outside of Lewes and it is a place where you can visit to buy costumes to be used in TV, Film and Theatre productions.

British Heart Foundation Wear It Beat It Campaign

It was really great to be the hair and make-up artist for the new British Heart Foundation campaign - Wear It. Beat It 2017 -  https://wearitbeatit.bhf.org.uk This was a two day photoshoot working with a wonderful team from  Killer Creative  marketing agency. On the first day I worked with heart survivor's, consultants and surgeons which was great as I got to listen to a lot of amazing stories that people were happy to share.  In fact, this is one of the favourite parts of my work - getting to hear about other people's lives and the fact that people want share with me. On the second day, a lot of male, female and children models arrived to have their hair and make-up done so that the British Heart Foundation had a variety of photos to share for their next big advertising campaign. I really enjoyed being a member of the team that created photos for this campaign for the British Heart Foundation and look forward to
