Back to the Grind

When she’s not being fabulous in France, throwing shapes at the Salsa clubs or running angelically through sunflower fields, Jane rocks her day job as freelance make-up artist for film and television. Although I agree it sounds rather exciting, she promises me it is far from it whilst doing impersonations of her and her colleagues standing around on some set for 12 hours in torrential rain with actors demanding lip gloss and assistant directors having tantrums about needing more mud…

However, once again living her mantra that “we have to wear clothes, so why not use them as a source of pleasure and fun?”, Jane always tries to incorporate the stylish with the practical when dressing for a long day on a set.

If you can possibly distract yourself from the prosthetic arm trying to steal the show, see above for a look at Jane’s work attire last week shooting for the BBC’s Being Human. Black leather trousers (Gap) are not only drop-kick on trend at the moment, but they’re warm and easy to keep clean should any unplanned make-up spillages occur. I’m also checking that black waistcoat from Warehouse with the blouse – officewear meets biker chick. Sweet.
