A photo shoot with Penny from Inspire photography
I had one of my most favorite photographers, Penny from Inspire photography, do my own photo shoot today. Its all a bit weird being in front of the camera, when I am usually working behind it, but Penny made me feel relaxed, shes fun to work with and made me look natural instead of a stunned mullet!
The shoot is for a article coming up in the Wairarapa Times Age on our Solution buds, so it needed to be a slick pic, not one of my digi specials. I reckon Penny pulled it off nicely, she captured my quirk factor, the product and made me look relaxed, all at the same time. Now thats what I call a Miracle worker!!!
Thanks Penny you are a star. Check out the pics for yourself!

Low cost ideas for makeup!
Beauty does not have to cost a fortune – so we have put together some low budget beauty solutions that will help both you, and the bank balance look and feel great.
Makeup
Head to the $2 shop for brushes and tools. Most dollar stores have a great range of makeup brushes and tools that will do the trick. Don't forget to check the brushes in the art section too as you can often find some great brush shapes here too - especially thin tipped brushes that are great for lining the eye.
While you are at the $2 shop - grab some flash lashes - they can be cut up and applied individually to the outer corner of the eye which looks AMAZING.
Dark eyeshadow makes an excellent eyeliner. Just wet a thin-tipped brush, dip it into the eyeshadow and line your upper lid. This is a great tip for those who like the liquid eyeliner look by struggle to apply it.
Whilst lengthening mascaras are good, they are also more expensive. Curl you eyelashes and dust them with translucent face powder, then apply mascara, this will help to thicken and lengthen the lashes.
Natural looking flushed cheeks are very trendy right now - and are normally created with a gel or cream products. Lipsticks are excellent substitute products for creating this look. Just apply some to the apple of your cheek and blend out towards the cheekbones.
If you buy any new makeup, make it a loose powder, neutral coloured, highlighter (soft gold or peach) as this is a great multi-tasking product. Use it all over your face when you need a boost, on the top of your cheekbones and under your brows, down the centre of your nose to make it look thinner, inner corner of your eyes to make you peepers bright, the top of your cupids bow for a natural trout pout and mix it in your your foundation to create a luminous look, with a clear lip gloss on your lips, and on your body for some shimmer at night.
Hold a makeup trade event with your friends. Someone's trash may be your treasure, and you may find the perfect home for the bright green eyeshadow you own but don't wear. To sterilize makeup, whip into your local chemist and buy yourself an small bottle of isopropyl alcohol (100% alcohol and approx $5.00) put it into a small spray or mist bottle from the $2 shop and spray the products. This will kill any unwanted germs that could that could transfer to eyes and evaporates in no time. Good as a bought one!!
Now everyone can look like the models you ooh and ahhh over in those glossy mags, minus the expensive price tag on the makeup products.
The best thing at the end of the day when you have finished looking glam, grab out your pack of wipes and Hil Cook solution buds and remove that gorgeous look, keeping your skin fresh and happy for the next day!

Review of the Solution bud - from Makeup artist Tutor @ Weltech
Hi Hil,
Just to tell you, your solution buds have arrived yesterday.
I absolutely love them. They are great for fast on set touch ups as well as makeup removing on the go.
I love that they don’t leave an oily film especially around the eye area.
What do they cost/retail for??
Will keep you in touch
Cheers
Dany

Hil Cook 'SOLUTION BUDS" worth their weight in gold
Lovely note from Laura Wilkonson (BRIDE)
Wanted to contact you to say that Angela could not have been more special for our day. It felt like an old friend/counsellor/make-up artist/hair stylist all wrapped up!! She honestly did make all of the difference to making the day extra special for me personally.
Our gorgeous bride Anna Beetham
Anna Beetham and her bridesmaids were an amazing sight, they looked as if they had just stepped off the set of King Kong. No attention to detail had been spared with fitting Hollywood glamour hair and makeup, vintage cars and a gorgeous barn done up to the nines in the same era.
Cocktails, ostrich feathers, velvet chases, right down to an amazing dress up box for guests filled with faux furs and gloves ready to have an old style photo taken of themselves.
The Girls got ready at Anna's family home in Gladstone (wairarapa) with a lovely ceremony in the quaint Gladstone church and then back to the 30s styled barn to kick up there heels for a fab evening to follow. Thanks for a great days girls.

Playing with ingredients from the kitchen cupboard
HALLOWEEN !There are all sorts of amazing things in Kitchen
cupboard that can be used to make meaty wounds to blow the trick or treaters away. This little number is made out of Gelatine and Glycerine and even the blood is edible!! A mixture of Golden Syrup and Mollasses with a good dollop of food colouring. With all this in mind, who needs to hire fancy dress for Halloween!!Hil x

THE HARDEST JOB OF MY LIFE!
The past few days I have been doing the special FX on a Documentary that has left me feeling raw and needing to see a shrink! I have never in all my years in the film industry , come across a shoot quite like it. Withdrawn, anxious and emotionally drained after our first shooting day, I got in my car and drove around the bay in tears. I had just witnessed through our directors eyes the last few days of 3 year old Nia Glassie's tortured wee life. All I can say is thank God that little girl is now free.
This documentary is incredibly special. There are no trained actors, these are real people with real life experiences and know first hand what it is like to be a battered child, or a person whom has been given away by the only mum or dad they have known. These real life actors want to show New Zealanders just what happened to Nia Glassie and all the other abused children in our country, and that its NOT OK! you cant just look the other way.
It has certainly been a biggy for me and I am glad I could be a part of this even though its been one of the hardest jobs of my life.
Keep your eyes open for the documentary of little Nia Glassie, she deserves to have her story heard.

Hil Cook makeup workshop with the Section Zero models
Yet another successful makeup workshop, with Section Zero models this time.
We taught 20 girls the tricks of the trade so they would be prepared when seeing potential clients. All seemed to really enjoy them selves and got right in on the action.
At the end of our workshop they went on to have Colin from 'NZ TOP MODEL' to teach the girls how to walk the cat walk and pose. Then the utterly talented stylist Samatha Hannah, helped the girls with styling and how to dress for their body types.
All in all it was an awsome day and to top the evening off, it ended with a smoldering wee shin dig in dimly lit bar just off Courtney place. NICE!
