Photo Shoot Commentaries

 I know this looks a bit blurry but here I am lining the model's eye. Notice the model is looking away from the pencil.I instructed her to do so, it is an easy trick to get it done quickly as the person is less likely to wince if they don't see the pencil.

At this point I am reapplying her lashes, with each makeup it is best to remove them.It is the best thing to do as you reduce clean up time of shadow on the lashes. Just remember to peel of the left over glue so the application on the lash band will be fresh.

This is the final look before she got dressed. Notice the winged liner and the bright lips. For her lips I chose a lip liner and I lined and filled it in. The pigment in the liner was so strong that I left it there in all it's matte glory. I also did a pronounced cupids bow.


More break downs and looks after the break.

At this point of the shoot for Heather(Model), I blocked out her eye brows which was done with a combination of Elmer's glue stick, which is set with powder and covered with concealer and foundation.

After blocking out the brows, now for a little color for the dramatic effect. I applied three different shades of color, a blue green for highlight, deep blue for contour and at the inner corner of the lash line silver.

Here the finished look of the model before her pics were taken. Please note that a lighter shade of foundation was used to give her a pale ghostly effect which flows with the the theme. For lips, I used a nude lip pencil which I outlined and filled in and then applied a nude lip color.
