Project evaluation

At the beginning of this beauty and the brand project I was really excited about creating looks inspired by Anna Sui. I had never heard of Anna Sui before but after looking into some of her work I felt that Anna Sui would be the most appropriate brand for me to choose as I felt I could work quite freely with the brand.

 I developed my ideas by researching the history of Anna Sui as a designer and then as a brand. I think that doing a lot of research about Sui as a designer and then as a brand really helped me develop my ideas throughout this unit. I have really enjoyed taking ideas from Anna Sui’s original inspiration for her catwalk shows and products and then turning them into a hair and makeup look.

At the beginning of the unit I wanted to collect as much information as I could about Anna Sui. I began by researching the five P’s which were on the brief. These included product, packaging, presentation, promotion and price point. I think that I got off to a good start by getting a lot of my research done early on during the semester when we were first given the brief. This allowed me more time to think about design ideas and to be able to develop my ideas.

Throughout this unit I have looked at inspiration from Pat McGrath (makeup artist) and Garren (hair stylist) to gain knowledge of how they have worked on creating hair and makeup looks for Sui’s catwalk shows. I noticed that for many of Sui’s shows Pat McGrath and Garren have been the main makeup and hair artist for her shows. I found YouTube videos of artist’s work and behind the scenes clips of how to create hair and makeup styles that they have created for Sui’s shows. I loved finding information about where Sui got her passion and inspiration from for her clothing as well as her makeup products. I really enjoyed looking into what inspired Sui for all the aspects of the brand.

I feel as if my skills have developed throughout this unit because I feel a lot more confident while creating looks that will be taken within the studio. This unit has helped me build my confidence because I now feel confident with asking people to collaborate with to get better result with the pictures once the final looks have been completed.


If I was able to do this project again I would create more extravagant hairstyles as I think this would also suit Anna Sui as a brand. I think that I have understood Anna Sui as a brand very well as all my final images have knowledge and reason behind the ideas. Over all I have really enjoyed this project.

Designing a nail inspired look for Anna Sui - Dolly Girl

This makeup look is inspired by the Anna Sui Dolly Girl glittery nail varnish range. This range includes 25 different colours. The 

Dolly Girl range was originally a fragrance range which launched in 2003.  Below are some images of products that have been a part of the Dolly Girl range and also advertisement images for the range.



This mood board below is inspiration found on Pinterest. For this look I want to use glitter on the face - around the eyes, glitter nail varnish to match the newest Dolly Girl product. the main colours I would use for this design would be purple (this is Anna Sui's favorite colour) and pink to create a more doll like feel to the design. 

For this design I could use glitter through the hair with two high top knots/buns on either sides of the head. The bottom right hand image of this mood board is a more doll like makeup look, I think that it could be interesting to use this image as inspiration for my design because I can use elements of this to relate to the Dolly Girl theme, however I don't want the final image to look too doll like.I want the over all look to have a fun feel to it, the hair will give this feeling. I also purchased some Stargazer rose paper lashes to use for this makeup look.

Mood board for this design

Designing a beach look for Anna Sui


This beach wear makeup and hair look that I have created this mood board for has taken inspiration from Anna Sui's S/S beach wear clothing. 

These two specific beach wear clothing range have a lot of golden and warm  colours to them. This is why I want my beach makeup look to have a very golden, sun kissed feel to it.

Below is my mood board for my beach look. The hair would have a natural beach wave look. The base makeup will be golden with natural shades of soft shimmery golds/browns on the eyes. I want the lips to have a sheer transparent gloss. The cheeks will be slightly bronzed with a bronzer to give a sun kissed finish. The brows will be natural with a small amount of colour through them to define the shape slightly.



Face chart

Products used to create this look
  • Illamasqua satin primer
  • MAC sudio fix fluid foundation
  • Dermacolour concealer pallet
  • Clinque up lighting for tops of cheek bones
  • Apply Miss K Co. shimmery bronzer to contour cheeks
  • Gosh bronzer to apples of cheeks & forehead
  • Use Urban Decay last sin eye shadow, Inglot gold eye shadow and Urban Decay Lucky eye shadow as a smokey golden lid. Use Urban Decay Trust to highlight brow bone.
  • Kryolan brown eye shadow in brows
  • Masacara
  • Gloss applied to lips

Designing a spring look for Anna Sui

This image on the right is of a model backstage at the Zac Posen show. Glossy lids are associated with flawless and dewy skin. Makeup artist Diane Kendal uses NARS Triple X gloss on the eye lids to create this new glossy lid trend. A tip from her that I found is to apply the gloss onto the back of your hand and then onto the lids as this makes it easier to spread the gloss onto the lids without it spreading everywhere.  
This makeup design is inspired by the glossy lids which is a spring makeup trend in 2015. I would use very opaque
 shade of brown to add gloss onto the lids, the lips would have a warm/nude colour with a matt finish with wrmth on the face. The base makeup would be very natural and I wouldn't add too much definition to the brows.

For the hair I would like to use a big loose chunky french plait going from one side of the face going down onto the shoulder. This is to create a soft girly feel to the overall look. I think this relates to Anna Sui as a brand as Anna Sui is a very elegant brand.



Face chart



Products used to create this look
  • Satin primer and foundation matching skin tone, Dermacolour pallet to cover any blemishes or spots
  • Brown Barry M dazzle dust mixed with dare to bare sheer lip gloss
  • Illamasqua Disobey blusher
  • Clinque up-lighting to highlight cheek bones
  • Supracolour for lips, mix yellow and purple to create brown then mixed with white and red to create a rouge colour.
  • Clinqe cream shaper to outline lips and blend into the rest of the colour.
  • MAC brown pencil to define the brows.
  • Mascara.


Hair chart


This hair design is a loose chunky/inverted french plait going from the left side of the face to the right. The model needs to have long hair to fit this design perfectly. There will be a few loose strands of hair framing the face.

Designing a evening look for Anna Sui

This evening look is inspired by the new Lipstick G lipstick collection by Anna Sui. Within the new Lipstick G collection there is a black lipstick, this will be the main focus of the makeup design. As the lipstick range was inspired by rock stars so is my look, however my look will have a more glamorized and modern feel to it. 

Dark eye makeup will be used with a touch of silver to the inner corners of the eyes to add depth to the design. There will be definition to the brows and cheekbones however the makeup design will be bold and have a simple finish.  The hair for this design would have a straight block fringe, a high pony tail with lots of volume. 

As this look is inspired by the Lipstick G lipstick range the main colour within the makeup design are a black and grey smokey eye with a touch of silver with black lips. The rest of the makeup design will be natural, I don't want the face to seem to sculpted with highlighting and contouring so these techniques are going to be kept minimal.

Within the Lipstick G lipstick range there are seven shades that can be brought on Beauty Bay online by pressing here (link to beauty bay) pricing from £16.10 - £23. These shades are Glitter Silver, Glitter Gold, Glitter Black, Powder Pink, Paris Pink, Rose Pink & Valencia.

Product description

'Perfect worn alone for a subtle wash of colour with a shot of sparkle or layering over other lip colours to add a touch of glitz to bolder colour, Lipstick G is enriched with natural Botanical Oils and Pearlescent Particles which keep the lips beautifully hydrated with an iridescent finish whilst Vitamin C and Antioxidants such as Grape Seed Oil shield the lips from free radical damage.'


Mood board for this design

Products used to create this look:
  • Kroylan foundation pallet, dermacolour concealer pallet & Ben Nye neutral set loose powder
  • Clinique up-lighting liquid on cheek bones
  • Benefire high beam to highlight brow bone
  • Illamasqua Diobey to contour nose
  • Inglot beige eye shwod to highlight down the nose, cupids bow and brow bone
  • Laura Mercier fair brow definer in brows with Kryolan brown eye shadow
  • Illamasqua Glinte & Writhe to contour the cheeks and forehead
  • Illamassqua gel liner
  • Krolan grey eye shadow to blend crease/smokey eye
  • Inglot black eyeshadow on eye lids/smokey eye
  • Illamasqua Surge liquid metal inner corners of eyes
  • MAC black pencil to fill lips
  • MAC black lipmix onto lips
  • Eylure full lashes and duo
  • Mascara
As this is an evening look I will be using these Eylure double lashes to finish the look. These lashes will add more texture to the makeup design. 

Hair chart




Step by step of how to create this hair style:
  1. Section the fringe and hold in place with a sectioning clip.
  2. Create two pony tails in the back centre of the head, the first pony quite high on the head and the other just below.
  3. Spray heat protection spray into the hair.
  4. Spray gel spray into the hair and barrel curl all the hair in the pony tails and use long silver sectioning clips to hold the curls into place.
  5. Allow the hair to cool and then brush the hair out, backcomb some sections as desired and apply Vitapointe into the hair to control the hair. the ends should be slightly curled.
  6. Straighten the fringe to frame the face.
  7. Finish with hair spray.

I practiced this hair style on my dolls head and I found that the hair was too short, therefore the pony tail was not long enough. For the shoot I shouldn't have this problem because my models hair is a lot longer than the dolls head.
