Whats happened for the week...
Well another flat out week with bridal trials, shoots and Balls. Our French powder room has seen all manner of beauties this week, I cant show you the bridal trials as we don't want any grooms snooping around seeing how hot their ladies are going to look, but i will show you a few of our latest pictures.
We had most of our team alternating freelance work for Bobbi Brown this week as they are flat out with Christmas, then racing back to our studio to fit in trials and shoots. Oh the joys of the silly season!

Homemade Cat litter mask for all skin types! For real... try this one!
We got this recipe off a TV show a while back. The beauty expert (Diane Irons, the author of several beauty books) swore cat litter is made of the same ingredients as special clays found in $100 spa facials. Our team tried this and loved it.
Ingredients:
1 bag cat litter (must be marked '100 Percent Natural Clay')
Water
Drops of your favorite essential oil
1 bag cat litter (must be marked '100 Percent Natural Clay')
Water
Drops of your favorite essential oil
Preparation:
Mix in a couple tablespoons of the cat litter with water and drops of oil (we find the oil helps make the experience somehow less kitty litter-ish)
Apply mask to face
Wash off after 15 minutes.

Finalist for HER Wellington Businesswoman of the Year 2010' Awards
I am truly stunned!! This evening I have just been rung to be told that I have made it to the finals in
HER Wellington Businesswoman of the Year 2010' Awards.
I had been told that I would hear who were finalists on Sunday the 21st which was yesterday, so I figured that our business had not made the top but were very lucky to be nominated. But this evening I got the phone call saying they were very sorry for the late call, but the caliber had been so high that it had taken longer than they thought it would. We are in the Top 4 for a new business!!!!
All I can say is that if it weren't for my amazing team and Ange who has stuck by my me through thick and thin, we would never be going for this award. Thanks team, I LOVE YOU GIRLS X

Project Born Trailer
This is the trailer of some the body art Nat and I worked on over the past couple of days at Weta Workshop. Hopefully I will get some pics to post up soon. Hil x
We worked at Weta's body art show "BORN"
Today was an amazing day that Nat and I had, back in my old stomping ground, Weta Workshop.
It was great to see all the old faces again, just like de ja vue only everyone is older and has kids now.
Nat and I worked on Weta's body art show, "BORN", which is raising money for Neo natals, a charity that I am quite passionate about being a mum. We spent the whole day air brushing amazing creatures that would be rithing around in weather balloons, representing a birthing sac. Our airbrushed creatures would be covered in KY jelly and goop and eventually be born from their membrane sac in front of the audience, after being inside the opaque sac for around 5 mins.
I couldn't take any pics as we signed our lives away, but we did take a pic of us outside Weta at the end of the day.
Tomorrow we get to do it all over again. Yay. I love my job!

Do and Don't Makeup tips for the day
Do
Get the right tools for the job. Investing in some good quality brushes, sponges and applicators will mean you get the most out of the make up you buy.
Get advice from a professional. If you’re not sure what makeup suits you, a one-off session with a beautician or make-up artist could open up great new ideas and colours to try, or simply help you to streamline your daily technique.
Go for long-lasting options. Look for long-lasting mascaras, lip colours and foundations – modern formulas are designed to stay put all day, and save you hassle of constant retouching.
Keep it light. Nothing looks more clumsy than thick, caked-on makeup, clumpy mascara and greasy smears of lipstick. It’s quicker in the end if you work gradually, too: you can always add a bit more as needed, but if you’ve started by piling too much on, you’ll have to cleanse it all off and start again from scratch.
Focus on one feature. For a subtle look concentrate on one of your face’s finest assets and then add just a hint of cosmetic support elsewhere. For example, smoky, emphatic eyes should be teamed with barely-there lip colour, while a glossy, come-hither pout needs little more than a quick flick of mascara for company. Go too heavy on making up all your features at once and it can be overwhelming.
Don’t
Overdo shimmer. What makes an impact on a cleverly lit magazine cover will look tacky in normal conditions, even in the evening. Take care if choosing a metallic eyeshadow that it doesn’t make your lids look crepe-y, and remember that superglossed lips can look great, but overdone lips might also be sticky.
Be afraid to experiment. Even if you’ve never considered blue eyeshadow, or you just don’t ‘do’ red lipstick, there’s no harm in re-evaluating your assumptions every now and then. A touch of vibrant colour – just a touch, mind – can lift your face and your mood, while switching from a brown/beige palette to something soft and pink – or vice versa – might take you in a whole new direction.
Forget blusher. It’s easy to focus on eyes and mouth because they’re the first things you notice when you look in the mirror, but judicial use of a subtle blusher on the apples of your cheeks works wonders to banish tiredness, winter blues and even the odd late night.
Hang on to outdated techniques. Dark lipliner was once considered essential to stop colour ‘bleeding’ round the edges, but hard outlines have no place on a modern face. The same goes for bands of blusher underneath your cheekbones.
Leave home without concealer. It’s not just for eyebags and spots, either – dab it lightly over any blotchy area before you put foundation on, to even out your skin tone.

A little energy test thanks to my friends at "THE CHEMISTS"
Today I went to Sort out one of my favorite customers that sell our Solution buds, Sonya and Margaret from "THE CHEMIST" in Masterton. The Chemist, is a hive of activity with the most exquisite gifts, makeup, healthcare products and wonderful advice! The service is like no other, everyone is greeted with a warm friendly smile, but biggest thing, they go the extra mile which is why I decided I wanted to blog about these guys.
Now those of you who know me, know how I truly burn the candle at both ends, not from being a party princess (sadly), but from being a work aholic.
This is why I love these guys at THE CHEMIST, I walked in today, had a chat about what what our team had been up to, how busy things have been and how shattered I felt. The ladies suggested something to help my energy levels and decided it was high time for me to get some Multi Vitimans in my system to help with fatigue and boost my immunity. Pills and I dont usually mix but I really have been shattered lately so decided to take the ladies up on their 1 month challenge. I will keep you all posted as to how I am feeling.
The Sonya and Margaret put me onto 2 different tablets, 1st one being Go Healthy Multi everyday which should support energy levels and maintain health and well-being.
The second being Thompson's Co-Enzyme Q10, Co-Q10 is energy producing, antioxidant, boosts metabolism, promotes healthy heart and gums and sorts out the immune system. Often referred to as nature's spark plug tablet because, like a car engine, the body cannot function properly without the initial spark from Co-Q10.

Pics and Goss of what we have been up to this week
The start of the week was lovely with several brides in our french powder room all having their trials.
Wednesday we did a shoot for Bernina with savvy photographer Lance Lawson and all the winners of the Bernina Young fashion awards. The young girls ranging from 12 - 17 did the most remarkable designs and there sewing techniques were outstanding. Check out the link to see their amazing garments.
Lea did the Wayward Heir Look book shoot for Rembrandt and I think she may have had trouble keeping from not tripping on her tongue! You will understand when you see the handsome men that she had to work on. Hard job that one but someone had to do it!!
Thursday the whole team worked doing makeups and hairstyles at the Adorn Jewellery event. If you read a bit further down the page you will be able to catch up with photos and goss of the event.
Friday was an Epic night shoot for Fishead which sadly I cant even reveal pics until the mag is out but further down the page is a wee bit of info about what we did and the amazing jewels that were used.
Saturday Ange and I got up at the crack of dawn and did the lovely Vicky Nelsons wedding. She was simply stunning and had the most amazing skin with beautiful freckles . Such a lovely day with her and her family.
VICKI'S EMAIL TO US BELOW...

We worked on the latest Fishead shoot and I found treasure!
Friday night was an all night shoot for Fishead magazine. I did the hair and makeup for beautiful Zoe and Micheal from Kirsty Bunny Agency and they looked sooooo Hot! I cant go into to much detail to be honest as that would spoil the fab treats to come in the Autumn issue, but trust me... A- MAZ- ING.
Savvy Samantha Hannah was doing her amazing styling job on our Hot models, and Photographer Tim from studio62 was working him magic with the camera. The Dream team were on FIRE!
Anyway what I did want to mention is Sam brought along the most incredible jewels I think I have ever seen and so I need to shout to the world about them!!!! Check out this website and the work of the very talented nga waiata.
I have never seen such beautiful chunks of crystals, each crystal both powerful and special, is set in in a stunning wooden based ring that feels so naturally right with nga waiata's name carved in the bottom. I am soooo in love with these stunning rings that it is my treat to me for Christmas!

Words of wisdom that our team believe in.
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone elses life.
Don't be trapped by dogma-which is living with the results of other peoples thinking.
Don't let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition...they somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything elas is secondary."
This is something I picked up somewhere, sometime when I was in much need of such words....I can't tell you the author, because this I have no clue of.....but all kudos to the one who penned these words.
Our team have lived by these words of wisdom. With our passion and drive, it has taken us on wonderful adventures all over the world.

Makeup Tips For Eyebrows
Eyebrows give a definition to face and grooming them and giving them shape can make your face look cleaner and more beautiful and make your eyes appear larger and more expressive. Eyebrows look best filled in with brow powder or eye shadow. A natural eyebrow look can be achieved by using a brow color applied with a nylon slant edged brush, do soft feather stroke brush movements filling in the brow, then use a clean mascara wand or brow brush to really work over the brow. This application may need another going over until you have the perfect brow desired.
Here are some useful tips that you can make to make your brows beautiful:
- Tweeze only the hairs underneath your brows to shape them.
- Many people have beautifully shaped eyebrows naturally that just need to be defined instead of alteration.
- Tweezing the brows after the shower is much easier and less painful.
- To fill in the gaps in the eyebrow shape, use a color that matches the natural colors of your brows or a shade lighter than that.
- Groom the eyebrows using a clear eyebrow gel and an eyebrow brush. Comb them and pluck stray hairs above the brow line.
- It is best to stick with natural shape usually and seek professional help for first-time threading.
- Calculate the arch of the eyebrows by using the ruler. It should start from the side of your nose to the same line on the outer corner of the eye. The high point should be on the outer side of the pupil.
- Fill the gaps with short strokes of your powder or pencil.
- Eyebrow color should be approximately two shades darker than your hair colour, so all you bleach blonde's, don't go too dark just because your natural brow is dark! Bobbi Brown does great brow gels that you can also use to lighten brows temporarily.
WelTec Makeup Artistry students. Judgement day with Hil Cook
Each year I am asked to judge the final exam of WelTec's budding makeup artists which always a huge pleasure. Today I spent most of the day at WelTec judging, and decided I would film the students work to put up on our blog. We get a lot of people asking about full time makeup artistry course, so here is a little insight to what they get up to...
Makeup artistry students of WelTec over the past term have been working towards their final assessment. They are given a theme based on the deadly sins. They needed to choose their subject, research it, find inspiration, push boundaries and explore possibilities. A mood board showing the journey they had taken to get their final result was made, and a photo shoot was organised where the students were required to direct the whole shoot from start to finish to execute the final "Money Shot". This would be the main feature on the board.
My apologies to the students who's work is missing, I accidentally deleted a chunk of footage ahhhhh and I am not that savvy at knowing how to get it back, but well done to all of you who participated.

Lush Lashes( Semi Permanent lashes) at Girls just wanna have fun expo
I have a lot of my clients asking about semi permanent lashes for their wedding day, so much so that I thought it was time to blog about them.
Lush lashes was bought to NZ by Vanessa O'Reillly, and is now so successful that she has franchise all over NZ. Just look at the pics above to see why she is so successful, who wouldn't fall in love with lashes like that??
I know first hand about lush lashes as I have been a devout lush lashes wearer for quite some time now, I just feel naked without my lashes and love when I have a 4.30 am start on a film, that I can still look half decent, minus mascara, thanks to those long silky thick lashes ( not my little wee stumpy straight blond numbers).
Anyway, your set of perfectly applied Lush lashes will last you around 6 weeks but if you are wanting to retain the full effect, I would re-schedule an appointment at 4-5 week intervals, this way you will always have the perfect set.
Vanessa applies a Lush Lash to each individual lash of your own, so even up close, they totally look like your own lashes. People have been astounded when I have told them my lashes are semi permanent lashes and that my own lashes are short thin blond numbers. I never need to wear mascara when I have Lush lashes, which would be unheard of otherwise!!
Today Vanessa and one of her colleagues were at "Girls just wanna have fun" expo, so I snuck down there before my first client and grabbed some pics. Vanessa is a avid "Hil Cook Solution bud" fan as the solution in our buds is oil free, Lush lashes special bond can be broken down from oil based cleansers, which is why they prefer Hil Cook Solution buds for a perfect eye makeup cleanser.
To find out more about Lush lashes for your special day, call 0800lushlashes or click on the title above which will direct you to their website.

Deep Cleaning Brushes
One of our artists ( leanne Hoare) and I recently went to the "International makeup artistry trade show" (IMATS) in Australia. It was incredibly inspiring with lots to listen and learn about, there were plenty of guest speakers with a wealth of knowledge and an eye popping amount of gorgeous makeup products.
basically we were in a makeup artistry heaven!!
Over the next few weeks I will share with you some of our experiences, pictures, and videos of our Aussie artistry adventure.
The video below, although a little lengthy, is incredibly helpful on how to really care for those much loved brushes that cost us ladies crazy amounts. The gentleman in the video was one of the guest speakers at Imats and a real Character. Check it out, it really teaches you a thing or two.

Fabulous reference about one of our makeup artist's, Natalie Henderson, from Producer Catherine Juniot
Dear Hils and Ange,
Thank you soooo much for sending us Natalie to work on the Eternity shoot this week. It was really great to meet her. She did a fantastic job and we were very fortunate to have her join us. I know that our Make-up Designer, Julia O'Neil, was very happy with her. I really hope that Natalie had a great time on the shoot too. She has a lovely bubbly personally, is great with the actors and is of course very talented at her craft.
I hope we can all catch up soon.
