Sandy's photoshoot

Hey guys

A few weeks a go I had a shoot with my friend Sandy. It was actually with one of my fave photographers (Ryan Chua) This guy is awesome! The shoot was more sexy and flirty and of course Ryan can pull this off. Unfortunately Ryan was still busy with his other models that were there before us so he suggested that his photographer friend Mike that was there do the shoot for him. I totally trust Ryan so we went along with it and really there was no drastic difference. Mike was awesome. Really laid back like Ryan. No wonder they're friends haha.


My friend Amber (Now my assistant!) wanted to see what a shoot is like especially since she's an MUA in the making. Also she's the one who gave us a ride =] Thanks hon! She did a great job
taking pictures during.











Loved her skirt














































Talk about sexy
















Back to the makeup, for Sandy I wanted to do something flirty and hot especially since she was wearing her color contacts. And if you haven't noticed already, when I see color eye's I see black, grays, and silvers! We we're rushing a little because of our horrible time management so I did a shorter version using black and silver. Sometimes a little goes a long way. Check out the first shots:








For the next couple of shots I changed up her makeup. I decided to go with turquoise's and blue's. It gave me a chance to use my 120 palette. I like to prove that you don't always have to use high quality makeup to get awesome results. I LOVED how the makeup turned out in the next shot.



Us at the end of the shoot. I had just pulled an all nighter that night so I was BEAT. I could barely smile haha. That's amber on the left, Sandy in the middle, and me looking horrible on the right =[





















Bye guys!

Sneak peek into a photoshoot

Hey guys

I recently did a video on a sneak peek into a photo shoot. A lot of people have never seen what a photo shoot is like and who's part of it and what goes during one. Which is why I made one. It didn't go into too much detail but it gave my viewers an idea of what it's like. It was basically two shoots in one. I have a model friend (at the time just a model, now my friend as well =]), who contacted me through Model Mayhem to do her makeup for a shoot in my city. I agreed wet along to the shoot. The shoot was really fun. There was a hairstylist as well which made it better. The more the merrier =]. Any who two days later I did another shoot with her but this time with another photographer in San Francisco. I took mini clips in both shoots so I could make a sneak peak vid for my subscribers. So the first shoot is in my city and the second clip is in SF.





In the first shoot I did a midnight blue smokey eye. I used Revlon matte eyeshadow. The dark blue one. Who said you can't use drugstore in a photo shoot?! I also used an electric vibrant blue to tone it down in a way and create a lighter color effect. Sometimes with eye shadows instead of using a white or highlight e/s to create a lighter effect you can use a lighter version of the the other e/s to give you the same or better results. For her lips I went with a bubbly pink lipstick gloss and paired it with a darker pink lip liner to give the effect of plumper lips.

For the second shoot I did very sexy smudged eyeshadow. Like the "I just rolled out of bed and I have on whatever's left from last night sexy eyes" haha. I used a hip duo for this one. It was the purple and dirty gold duo that's right below. I love duo's. They give amazing results for half the price of mac shadows.

These pictures are in random order.
