A few weeks ago I participated in a shoot with two models named Will and Grace, gotta love that combo! In terms of makeup, we wanted to go for something a little more heavy in order to convey a more serious tone to the shots. Grace came to me in some serious need of brow help. She told me that she hated doing her brows because of the pain factor. I can understand but I think it gets better after time...I don't know if my nerve cells have died, but it really doesn't bother me to pluck anymore. To help a sister out, I placed some Ambesol (the tooth pain gel) on her browbone to numb it a bit, then I went ahead with my plucking. You may not be able to see it as well in the before picture, but brows make a huge difference!
For the rest of her makeup, I went with a dark lip and really smoky eye...ushering in one of fall's newest trends.
Here's What I Used on Grace (All MAC unless otherwise specified):
FACE
-monistat anti-chafing gel
-cinema secrets foundation
-graftobian powder
-housewine blush
-definitive sculpting powder
-msf in warmed
EYES
-spiked brow pencil
-sketch e/s (brows)
-Anastasia brow lights in pink
-sharkskin shadestick
-carbon
-llama
-kohl pencil in smolder
-model co. lashes
LIPS
-black creme color base
-sin lipstick
-Black Opal lipliner
On Will, I did the basic man makeup, but added a twist. I gave him the Dave Navarro Smokey eye...I love when men let me put makeup on them! Combine smudgy eyeliner, black e/s, and MAC multipurpose clear gloss and you've got instant rock star eyes!

Nice work (as usual!)... But I have a question- What do you use the Monistat Anti-chafing gel for?
Wow, Grace looks like two different women in the before and after. Good job! I agree that eyebrows make a big difference too.
The makeup is flawless..you are such a pro!!

i would have liked to see will's before picture.
great job sis. they look so well together. i like the one where they're both smiling :D
wes: i use it as a primer for oily skin...it's just like smashbox photofinish primer
marjorie: definitely, eyebrows can make or break you!
PJD: thx sweety!
pbw: i'm obsessed with the smokey eye dark lip look lately, lol

they both look hot ;)
Awesome work! The models look hot.
Hi there-absolutely stunning, very well done indeed!
Great work!!! You're super talented! :-)
Hi Ren! I love seeing the before and after pictures for photoshoots. I did a photoshoot just once and I felt like a different, glamourous person lol. Anyway, I am really thinking about getting some Monistat Anti-chafing gel to use as a primer. Does it feel very similar to Smashbox Photofinish Primer? I use Mac's Prep & Prime and I personally don't really like it because it doesn't make my skin feel matte at all so I've been thinking about what to buy for a new primer. Well, I hope you are having a great week so far! Take care =]
fabolous....lovin the looks...
grace looks so polished in the "after" photo with her new eyebrows :) that's awesome that you were able to do a smoky eye on will too - the look works well in those photos!
OH MY GOODNESS Ren Ren! I love it!!!! it is a cool before and after shot and you nailed it!!! such lovely work!
