Pink Lady

I kept the eyes neutral toned, and sculpted them with texture, applied some individual false lashes (I find the individual lashes look more natural as they lack the “spine” visible with a full false lash) to bring out the shape of the eyes and then matched the lipstick to the wig with MAC’s Amplified Lipstick “Girl About Town”

Pro Tip: When you’re applying your make-up with a “natural look” in mind – where you want to sulpt the face with colour (ie a light colour under the browbone) but without frosting or noticeable shimmer in mind use a non-reflective eye-shadow like MAC’s “brule” and then apply a colour like “shroom” (which is basically the same colour in a more reflective texture) in small doses under the arch of the brow or in-between the eyes or apply a dollop of “woodwinked” – (a veluxe pearl and especially shiny eye-shadow in a colour fairly neutral to people with tanned skin) to the center of the lids. Doing this helps to contour the face, draw attention to specific areas and sculpt the face — and the application of a non-shiny version of the colour first allows the eyeshadow to “dilute” making blending easier and turning the shimmer into “amazing” lighting or bone structure.
Colette – final
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Uncategorized on August 12, 2009
The final image, my personal favorite, from my first shoot with James Strack and Caroline Olvarrietta. For me, this is the show where Colette looks the most beautiful, and also a shot which utilizes the amazing “soft natural light” James created. It was a privilege to work with this great team.
James wanted to focus on texture and light, monopolizing the unique set he designed for the shoot which utilized strategic channels of natural light with the help of an accompany assistant and his board, so it was important for the make-up to look “soft” and “fuzzy” whilst still sculpting Colette’s face. By using Colette’s natural colour palette ( the colours in her hair and skin) I was able to keep this look “simple” and “uncomplicated”
Main Make-Up ingredients: Blending! I used MAC’s #224 brush to really “fuzz down” her shadow and enable me to apply shadow from very light… [ Read more ]
Chantelle

Chantelle models an evening look for a shoot with Luba – a stock photographer. Luba asked for an evening “glam smokey eye”.
Main Make-Up Ingredients: MAC Kohl Pencil in “smolder” , pigments in “dark soul” and “silver fog”.
Pro Tip: With a smokey eye, or any dark or dramatic eye make-up, always apply the eye make-up first and then the foundation after. That way you can wipe any “drop-down” (pigment or eye-shadow falling around the eye or onto the top of the cheekbone) rather than trying to brush it away and then having to re-do your foundation or concealer.

An additional post of the Robert Miller/ Chelsea L fresh faced bridal look. I sculpted her face with texture rather than lines.
Robert and I went for some “Bridal shots”. Rob and Cally and I were testing with Chelsea L from Infinity – Cally had a Gavin Rajah silvery, slinky, beaded wedding dress with her so we went ahead with a fresh skinned “bridal” look.
Main Make-Up ingredients: MAC: strobe cream (radiance), face and body foundation (powder only where necessary), mineralise skinfinish (one shade darker than her complexion for a gentle contour – alt product, bronzer in “golden”) eyeshadow: “cork” , “brule”, “vanilla”, cremeblush in “uncommon” lip pencil: “spice” lipstick: “honeylove” mixed with “kinda sexy” topped with clear lipglass.
Main Hair ingredients: Bobby-Pins, Brilliant Blonde Shine cream.

Pro Tip: When dealing with something fiddly such as petals or feathers or individual lashes use tweezers to position the object in place, check the direction of the curve of the hair/petal and hold in place until secure. Using as little glue as possible cover the tip of the lash or petal and wait for the glue to become tacky before adhering it to the skin.
