#WearItWednesday: Pure London MUA Laurretta Power is #InFocus

The makeup styling at Pure London in February was a dramatic change from that of Pure34 last August; so much so, that I decided that not speaking to the supertalented Artist who brought the seemingly dark and dangerous concept to life would be overlooking one of the most crucial parts of the entire catwalk show - the part that created the Atmosphere. So after some minimal detective work (printed credits on programmes are all well and good, but Instagram is the best Super Sleuth tool that a girl can have in her arsenal!) I tracked down the wonderfully warm and friendly Laurretta Power, and invited her to share her thought process behind the dangerously sexy edge she added to the stage environment...

Miss Laurretta Power

Chief Makeup Artist, Pure London 35.

ES: What was your guide brief on the looks you created, and how did you go about executing them?

LP: "I was asked to forward my forecasts for autumn/winter makeup trends for 2014 a few months back. I compiled about 6 different boards with different variations on looks, and the client came back a few weeks ago with their favorites, from which I created my take. I opted for light, reflective, bright skin, metallics, smudged, lived in eyes, and naked lips. Brows were defined, but not overly, whilst lashes were piled with mascara for a look that can be transformed with ease for the high street."

ES: Did you have/use any specific inspirations in your planning, and if so, who/what were they?

LP: "For inspiration I channelled Daryl Hannah in Blade Runner meets Michelle Pfeiffer in Dark Shadows - like old glamour meets ghetto grunge."

ES: How many models did you have to prepare? How many do you need in your team to manage that number, and what's the approximate prep time (including practice)?

LP: "There was a total of 10 models. On my team I had 2 assistants and 2 makeup artists as well as myself. Each morning took roughly 3 hours to do makeup with refreshing looks between shows all day. We also did the makeup test the Saturday before which took about an hour, luckily the client loved the look straight away so no changes were made."

ES: How did you coordinate the looks that you planned with the hair department, and did you have to make any adjustments to make the overall looks cohesive?

LP: "The organiser knew what she wanted from hair, I had no say in it. Makeup was signed off on the 1st look (by the organiser); the only thing I changed during the run of the shows was the lip - I switched from a very nude pencil to plain, no colour balm, as the model's lips were becoming dehydrated so the balm looked better and more nourished."

You can find Lauretta on Instagram at the above address, or Tweet Laurretta here.

I hope you enjoyed the very first #WearItWednesday InFocus feature! The Lovely Laurretta certainly does some amazing work - lookout for her backstage at a catwalk near you...

Until the next!

#MusicMonday News Headlines: BEATNIK Are Baaack! Jay & Bey Go 'On The Run' - Will You Give #Chase?

My favourite mixing duo are back with a BRAND NEW residency at the prestigious Wyld Bar in Leicester Square, as of Wednesday, 30 April - that's two days away for your midweek dancing feet.

Make sure you catch them sooner rather than later, because believe me, if you haven't caught a Beatnik set, then you haven't had the best night out in London (also, don't get too attached to your feet - you're going to dance them right off the end of your legs).

The music will, of course, be excellent, that's a given; but more than anything, a Beatnik night means one for the creatives; the only thing monochrome about this sibling sound system duo, is their rather nice new flyer for the night. And did I happen to mention that it's also FREE ENTRY? So what have you got to lose? It's worth a slightly sluggish Thursday - trust me when I tell you this, I speak from experience.

You have been warned...

__________________________________

Will YOU Give #Chase?

Just when you thought they couldn't possibly milk any more money out of the concert-going public, JayZ and the Mrs have revived their Bonnie & Clyde personas, and plan to take 'the #Chase' #OnTheRun this Summer, for those who actually want to follow them across North America... Tickets go on sale at 10AM (EST) tomorrow (April 29th).

I s'pose we all better prepare for the promo steam train, it's about to roll through, well, The Globe...*sigh*.

#MusicMonday's 'Flashing Lights' Winner: Kehlani - The Tsunami That F’s WU…(WARNING: INCLUDES EXPLICIT LANGUAGE)

Musical draws are as individual to us as our fingerprints - what works for one, may not necessarily work for another. Take Yours Truly for example. I'm a sucker for a mean, singalong vocal hook, that stays with you LONG after the song has ended.

That's how I came across this week's #FlashingLights competition winner. Some months ago, she delivered a beautiful chorus for a collaborator that a few (dozen million) people may've heard of, with the precision of a fresh-faced, vocal Olympian. She didn’t overpower the artist on lead (which is probably only part of the reason that he was gracious enough to sit back and let her shine), when it came to her time in front of the mic.

Fast forward to last week, when the most unbelievable case of 6 degrees brought me back full circle to that same, ridonculously talented young lady. Only 4 days prior, I learned her name was Kehlani. Some of you may be familiar with her, if you watched the US of A version of one of our Simon's many talent shows. Thanks to a switched on friend over 3000 miles away, that information came to my attention along with a crucial bit more - that Kehlani's new single, boldly entitled ‘FWU’, was set for release last Thursday. Opportunity had knocked; to not have answered the door would simply have been rude.

Now this explicitly-named single, for want of a better description is a bomb. Not the nuclear demolition machine that it would have been, without the most annoying hype man on the planet doing his darndest to ruin it (during the bridge in particular) – but it is C4 nonetheless. You don't come out of battle with this newly 19-year-old singer unscathed; in fact, you barely survive her domination at all. At first listen the initial assault is in the acoustic guitar intro that is something like a honeytrap. It's enticing, sexy, and it stops you in the centre of the blast zone with enough of a flirtation, that you don't see the aerial plane dropping until it's too late. The next thing to hit you is a horn section that reminds you of something that you can't quite put your finger on…Right away. By the time the Missy Elliott's SupaDupaFly comes to mind, you've joined the winning side (because you're too scared not to). Somewhere along the way, you're imagining yourself standing in a desert jeep, speeding through sand clouds in a very Tina Turner in a Mad Max-like battle ensemble, ready to take anybody out the game for even looking at you funny. It's entirely possible that last part may just have been me, but you get the idea – song, battlecry, soldiers in battle, that sort of thing... Don't question it, just go with the visual – trust me.

Download your free copy of 'FWU' from KehlaniMusic on Soundcloud

It may not seem like it initially, but 'FWU’ is nothing, if not a fight song. It masquerades with a sweet serenity, courtesy of harmonious vocals so smooth and liquid buttery, that it clogs your arteries (and every orifice), in a disturbingly pleasant way (you should probably see a Healthcare Specialist about that last part. Especially if you like it). Anywhoo... those horns add a regal touch to this 'Ride or Die' anthem. A Queen is pledging her never-ending devotion to her King, if he promises her the same in return. Only this royal couple rule the streets, and the neighbourhood is their court. Because Kehlani's natural sound is so soothing, you overlook the fact that her words are as menacing as her effect on your diet. The 'tell it like it is' lyrics are ballsy, and make it clear that this Chica is no trifle to be messed with – the sweetness turns a tad sour, when she lets you know that she'll defend you to her last breath, but she'll also end you, and take yours if you don't tow the line...

And that my mealbreak friends, is why you need to cop yourself ‘FWU’ without a moment’s hesitation – because it’s for the good of your health.

In addition to this ESPspotlight Review, Kehlani also wins the monthly prize of an electronic press kit (EPK) for professional use. Don't forget to enter next month, my darling buds, when you'll get four chances to win £90 worth of graphic cover art with custom front and back covers for your next musical release - don’t miss out!

I need a snack now…until the next!

Hybrid Vigour: When Music, Art and Documentary Collide:

From last year's Stories We Tell to the controversial The Act of Killing, the hybrid documentary is going from strength to convention-busting strength. But British documentary seems to be pushing the boundaries even further in challenging the genres of music, biography and archive film. Why is this and what does it tell us about the role of artists and musicians in documentary filmmaking? Join the creative partnerships behind three recent festival hits for an exploration of what went into stretching the limits of the form, an insight into the unusual collaborations between director and subject, and a look at the questions these films pose about memory, truth and the creative process. Panelists are: Jarvis Cocker and Martin Wallace, composer and director of The Big Melt; Edwyn Collins and Grace Maxwell, subjects of The Possibilities are Endless; Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, directors of 20,000 Days on Earth; Moderated by Tabitha Jackson, Director, Documentary Film Program, Sundance Institute. Presented in association with BRITDOC and Sheffield DocFest.
