Close up : first choice for AMICA, PETRA campaign, HIGH LIFE, NENA for BUNTE, make-up for W cover story

First choice: the winners of the best Ladies’ Watch 08 were presented in the December issue of AMICA. But the grand prix de jury for best hair and make-up goes to KARIM Amerchih.

For HIGH LIFE magazine (December issue) sports cars by Ferrari, Aston Martin, Lamborghini and Maserati were photographed in their best light under the caption “Gentleman Driver”. Hair and make-up were perfected in the magical hands of make-up artist TOBIAS Sagner.

On a production for a MAXI Beauty Special (December 08) the name of the game was “Fashion Victim versus Modern Woman”. A look which required the input of two groomers. Dream team LONI Baur and KARIM Amerchih present the trends from the international catwalks.

99 Balloons singer NENA was made-up and styled to be wild and beautiful by PETRA Sulger for BUNTE magazine in St. Peter Ording.

Five female star chefs were captured for BRIGITTE magazine: Cornelia Poletto, Sybille Schönberger, Eva Eppard, Claudia Schröter and Douce Steiner. The ladies were made over by NINA Pach.

After getting stuck in a Berlin lift for an hour, photographer Alex Straulino and make-up artist ULLA Kornelius were freed and able to carry out a production for ZEIT MAGAZINE. As the pair had more than enough time to brainstorm, it was only inevitable that the photo would turn out a success.

EVA Hennings was booked for the hair & make-up in a shoot to mark the 10 year anniversary of gentlemen’s outfitter THORSTEN LEWIN. KARIM Amerchih created the wonderfully feminine looks for the PETRA campaign, as shot by Tina Luther,.

David BYUN c/o DANIELA WAGNER shot both the cover and the cover story (as already reported by GoSee) for the November issue of glossy magazine W. The make-up was applied by LONI Baur.

LONI Baur worked her beauty miracles for the current issue of TUSH. She applied impressive make-up for the editorials entitled “Chromatastic - No thing, no self, no form was certain”, “Gorgeous, Nasty Wet and Awesome” and “No Fear…”, as well as the cover image.
