Billy’s Prudence Column
Published April 20, 2009 Friends of D-light , Publications Leave a CommentTags: article, Billy Orr, column, hair, hair stylists, magazine, make up artist, News, Prudence magazine, secrets, tips

Make up artist Billy Orr has long been a friend of the studio’s. We love nothing more than getting a few nuggets of make up info from him when he’s in on a shoot. Now Billy has a column in Prudence Magazine, so everyone can get some of Billy’s wonderful tips! Pick up a copy of the March/April issue while you still can and get a dose of Billy’s make up secrets (-the mascara article is a personal favourite!) We can’t wait to see the next issue!! Have a look at some of Billy’s amazing hair and make up work by viewing his website here.
