Why I am under-represented as a petite woman in the fashion industry
ABOUT ME
Welcome! My name is Annabelle Barton, I am a creative direction graduate, designer, make-up artist, all-round lover of all things fashion. Here you will find examples of my work in the industry, the projects I have creative directed, in particular my Final Major Project 'Pint-Sized,' an online magazine. I am passionate about diversity in all areas of the fashion and beauty industries and have made purposeful imagery throughout my university career to ensure this is something I can bring into the professional workplace. I am always researching the latest beauty and fashion trends and relating this to my work, this enables me to forge my own opinion and experiment with them in different mediums. This website is a presentation of the work I have created recently. Enjoy!
INDUSTRY WORK
During my time at Solent University, I have been lucky enough to be a member of the Solent Pro Make-up and Hair Team. I created these make-up looks in collaboration with multiple lead make-up designers at Graduate Fashion Week 2019, London Fashion Week 2019 and London Fashion Week 2020. Please select specific images for more details.
I have also worked as a freelance make-up artist in which I have collaborated with D1 modelling agency and other creatives to produce two beauty editorials for modelling portfolios, these are the images from the two photoshoots below.
I have then gone on to gain experience as the head make-up artist at a wedding leading a team of make-up and hair artists and ensuring the morning and day ran smoothly, with 10 bridesmaids, one mother of the bride, and the bride herself. My role was to create the designs for each person and then make sure they were executed to a high standard and most importantly that the bride was happy! These images are also below.
