These Behind the Scenes videos were filmed sometime
last year when I had the opportunity to do a photo shoot in which a
model and photographer would be provided, and I could do any makeup look
I wished. I chose Glamour and Grunge. (click the links to see the videos)
The
Glamour makeup was a simple gold and black smokey eye, with a pink lip.
(I tastefully edited out the bit where I put a different lip colour on,
didn’t like it, and had to take it off). This is one of my favourite
looks, and I had never done it on someone with her eye shape before.
That’s one of the things I love about makeup, you can have one standard
look and no one will ever wear it the same. Everybody’s different!
The
Grunge makeup was also a rather simple smokey eye, but a bit more full
on. You’ll notice in the video, I go through many layers of placing
colour on the eyes. I started off with a skin tone primer on the upper
portion of the eye (from the crease to the eyebrow) and a darker cream
eyeshadow as a base on the rest of the lid. Following this came many
layers of purple in slightly different shades to create depth in the eye
(we do not have, or want, flat eyes). I then smudged a MAC Khol
eyeliner in black, to create ever more definition, along the lash line,
then blended it out some, with more purples. Unfortunately my camera ran
out of battery and I missed the filming of the lips, cheeks, and brows,
but they were all fairly simple. This was an extremely fun look for me,
I’ve always liked the “Grunge look” but, it’s not the type of thing I
could pull off.
Please check out my videos and give me a thumbs up!
