Seeing Blue

This past weekend I had the pleasure of working with one of my favorite local models; Darci Van Velde.  We collaborated with photographer Mark Shaiken.  This shoot was so much fun and the images turned out fantastic.

Here is a close up of the makeup:

For the eyes I used:  MAC pigments in dark soul (crease)

and from the Wonder Woman Collection: Marine Ultra pigment

on top of an oldie but goodie:  Loreal Hip color rich cream crayon in Intricate

for lips:  MAC stripdown liner with Cream Cup lipstick

for her foundation:  MAC face and body in C3.

I would love to hear your comments! 

Be my Valentine....

Hello! 

I have been a makeup artist for over 9 years now.  I specialize in wedding makeup but have a passion for makeup for editorial and fashion. 
I hope you enjoy my blog as I plan to post weekly on my musings and share my photos of recent work! 
Yesterday my work was featured on the website Wedding Chicks.  The very talented Alea Bebenek of Alea Lovely fine art photography and film making, developed the concept and brought lots of amazing talent together to produce this shoot.  It is a Valentine's Day inspired shoot but we did not want to the traditional red lips look. Here is what I did...

The makeup look consists of: 

foundation: MAC face and body N1

lashes:  Ardell #107 just the outer edges

eyes: MAC pigment in museum bronze, wedge in the crease, and nehru on the outer edges

eyeliner: MAC blacktrack
