A few months ago I did a makeover and shoot on Amy, a Filipino Publicist and Internet Radio Personality in the Atlanta area. Ever since then, she has made me an honorary client...booking me for new opportunities and events when they come her way.
In her former life, Amy was actually a teacher of the deaf. She even translated for the former Pope! Anyways, she showed my pictures to a former student of her husband (also a teacher of the deaf) and from there, I booked another shoot!
This was definitely an interesting experience working with someone who I could not verbally communicate with. Despite this, I was able to get along really well with Charity--our model. I even learned some basic sign language along the way. Charity had recently lost a significant amount of weight and she was ready to show it off to the world. She doesn't really wear any makeup, so I wanted to give her a subtle look.
I used some of my new colors from the starflash collection and smudged stubborn brown powerpoint pencil. A subtle pair of false eyelashes made her eyes pop!
Here's what I used (All MAC unless otherwise stated):
FACE
-prep and prime
-prep and prime
-Cinema Secrets foundation
-Graftobian dual foundation powder
-shadester and definitive sculpting powder
-housewine blush
-msf in warmed
EYES
-spiked eyebrow pencil
-espresso eyeshadow - brows
-indianwood paint pot
-grand entrance e/s
-bold and brazen e/s
-embark e/s
-stubborn brown eye kohl
-l'oreal voluminous mascara
-ardell falsies
LIPS
-chesnut lipliner
-viva glam V lipstick
-bateaux lipglass

Hey Renren! this has nothing to do with your post... but I know youre a makeup artist and I was just wondering if you could suggest your favorite MAC foundation and your favorite drugstore brand foundation? I would really love to find something with full coverage! I currently use MAC Studio Fix pressed foundation and sometimes it looks too dry... It would be great if you knew any, thanks!
