GLAMOUR BEAUTY FESTIVAL 2016 by Suzie Jay

Over the weekend of March 12th & 13th, London's Saatchi Gallery was completely transformed to make way for the first ever GLAMOUR Beauty Festival. Hired by the festival's production company, Timebased, it was my job to capture day one of the event. 

GLAMOUR Beauty Festival had a luxurious yet fun and flirty party vibe throughout. Wall signs were written in lipstick to guide ticket holders through the various hair and beauty zones. Hair-braiding, manicures, skin treatments and make-overs were among the many spa-like experiences on offer from brands such as OGX BeautyghdRimmelLiz EarleElizabeth Arden, , LancômeLaura Mercier,  NARS and Benefit.

Ticket holders were also treated to a luxury goodie bag containing around £160 of hair and beauty products, as well as a complimentary ticket to one of the star-studded talks which took place in the GLAMOUR theatre. 

I absolutely loved the Fiat sponsor area, where guests played dress-up to pose for a photo which would see them superimposed into Fiat car, speeding along the open road, Thelma & Louise style. 

Here are some of my photo highlights from this fabulous event. 

THE PRINCE'S TRUST : INVEST IN FUTURES 2016 by Suzie Jay

At the start of February, Timebased Events produced a glittering gala dinner, raising a staggering £2million to support disadvantaged young people in turning their lives around. 

Celebrities and city high-fliers joined HRH at Old Billingsgate for the annual Invest in Futures dinner, hosted by Joanna Lumley OBE and Hugh Dennis. Lighting designers Squidsoup created a spectacular light installation  to illuminate the space with ambient dynamic clouds and abstract visuals through to a vibrant VJ set to accompany a live performance by Kylie. 

Jerry Hall, Damian Lewis, Fearne Cotton, Boris Becker, Geri Horner, Tinie Tempah, Kelly Hoppen MBE, Jon Culshaw and Philip Schofield joined in the festivities, which included a silent auction and an incredibly moving and inspiring speech by Young ambassador Laura Tombs.
