*pats myself on the back* For taking further steps at separating my Bridal from Commercial/Fashion work. I am also very proud of this image :) The makeup before and after post processing is barely noticeable! Big *high five* to Rummy Makmur - again, we pulled out ALL the stops! YAY! Special thanks to AJ for sending us Lauren. We absolutely love her....!
On the day of the shoot, I had a few makeup looks in mind, but after seeing her face, I decided to go with a look fresh off the runway, 2011-12 A/W Gucci show in Milan - I summarize the look as the following:
On the day of the shoot, I had a few makeup looks in mind, but after seeing her face, I decided to go with a look fresh off the runway, 2011-12 A/W Gucci show in Milan - I summarize the look as the following:
- Flawless, beautiful "Porcelain" skin
- Perfect vampy lip
- Perfectly Symmetrical Brows
- A lot of mascara - clumpy and sexy
- Classically lightly defined eyes
I definitely had a strong feeling about these lips.. I can't believe it I did this lip 3 times the last MONTH. I had to just get it out of my system, and I am happy to say I probably won't be doing this lip until...whenever it's "in" again! lol!!!!! That day we also did the D & G Fall look with a twist with the graduated faded lip, but I think that this image above is the strongest from the set. :)
And then funny funny thing is when I received my Bazaar Fall Fashion Issue, Coco Rocha rocked this makeup look in those Saks Fifth Avenue ads. It's funny to me because last fall, I had absolutely NO CLUE what is trendy for fall. I think my trend predicting antennas are growing a little stronger ;P This was just one of the looks that I loved loved off of A/W 2011-2012.
Also found in Bazaar this season - PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL BROWS!!!! oh yes, and FULL too.
Sorry for the caps, but I wanted to say that if you meet 10 makeup artist, 50% will say: "Brows are sisters, not twins", and the other 50% will say: "Brows SHOULD be twins" - and I say: "Brows should be twins in the perfect Grecian tradition" - Symmetry IS beauty I say!!
And guess what!?!?!? It's the RETURN OF THE PERFECT BROWS! My glory day has returned j/k j/k~ It's just that... I definitely belong to the 50% of the artist who cannot stand asymmetry in brows. Yes, naturally brows are most likely going to be sisters - Only very few people I've met had perfectly symmetrical brows, and when I see them I cannot stop staring at them and admire them with my mouth agape! No brow product or anything, just perfectly symmetrical. I like them longer and fuller - and tamed into perfection.
If your brows are not perfectly symmetrical, there are ways to shape it to "appear" perfectly symmetrical. For that, you really need to go to a TRUE brow artiste and not just any esthetician out there ;)
ALL my clients and models I've worked with know that I am into symmetrical brows...lol....If you come to me with brows, I will most likely inquire if you go see someone for your brows, and if not, why not? What can I say...I just love beautiful brows. Jordan @ Scout told me she loves how I do her brows~ :)
What can I say, at least for this season, I WIN! *does a victory dance*
