For Taylor's make-up I did a modern take 18th century cosmetics. I airbrushed her foundation in a pale shade to give her the creamy complexion so admired at the time. Defined eyebrows, cream blush on the eyelids & cheeks and a berry lip stain completed the look.

Inspired by the towering hairstyles of the late 1770s (and Taylor's luxurious head of hair), I created one of my favorite historical hairstyles for our recent photoshoot.

I used a frame made of hair donuts & wire as my under-structure and faux hair rolls (or "boucles") to accent the finished style - the rest was all Taylor's own hair. Whew! The very front was curled and teased for texture and to add softness to the face.
Materials used:
frame
bobby pins
Paul Mitchell Spray Wax (for back loop)
Paul Mitchell Extra Body Finishing Spray

Today's photoshoot was so much fun - I can't wait to see the results! Thanks For For The Joy Photography & Dames a la Mode, you ladies are awesome!!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of a scholarship from Sense & Sensibility Patterns, I spent last weekend in Colonial Williamsburg attending the Conference "A Head For Fashion: Hair, Wigs, Cosmetics & Jewelry" - it was great! It was such a joy attend an event that combined my two passions, hairdressing & history!
