On Tuesday 7th July, the Illamasqua counter at Fenwick Newcastle welcomed a very special guest - Samantha Barks, who is playing Sally Bowles in the theatre tour of 'Cabaret' - currently showing at the
Theatre Royal in Newcastle from 6th-11th July.
Samantha Barks shot to fame when coming third in the BBC TV Show 'I'd Do Anything' last year.
I spoke to Ursula, one of our brilliant Fenwick Newcastle artists, who created the signature Sally Bowles look on Samantha before her show began. "Samantha has a naturally gorgeous face that is strong enough to take a lot of make-up."
What products did she use? "Samantha has a peaches and cream complexion, so I used
Cream Foundation in 215 and
Loose Powder 135 to pale her skin tone down. I used
Powder Blusher in 'Tweak'.

After using
Eye Brow Cake in 'Thunder' on her brows [great for dark brunettes,
see the Whatstyleistonickel video below for an idea of consistency and colour], I concentrated on vivid blues and greens to capture the essence of Sally Bowles. I used
Powder Eye Shadows in 'Fiasco' a light greeny teal, 'Stalk' a darker teal, 'Anja', a creamy baby blue and the black 'Lestat' to create depth."

"Samantha wanted dark, dramatic lashes, so we went for False Lashes no 17 on top and no 14 on the bottom."

"On the lips I used
Lipstick in 'Maneater' for a true, pillar box red. I topped this off with
Intense Lipgloss in 'Fume' so a bright, lacquered finish."

"I also created a similar look on one of the supporting cast members! Samantha had a great time and loved her look. Chronicle magazine came down to interview her on the counter and this should be out sometime this week
