Model: Nelli - MAU, Hair & Photography: MeBrand new work from today; love this series.. Nelli is a very talented model from Russia and the camera loves her.
Look one: Is the image to the right; I started with MAC Studio Stick Foundation, Coastal Scent eyeshadow in light brown and light pink. Filled the brows with a dark brown shadow; and the lashes is hers so there was no need to give any. I applied some pigment to the skin for a natural highlight and a light pink gloss... finishing with a nude gloss. This look we wanted more natural for her comp card.
Look two: The image to the left; I already started a base from the first look so I went straight to the eyes. Applied star violet eyeshadow from MAC with a grey shadow in the crease (sorry forget the name) and then another pigment for the brow highlight. I added some more blush in more of an orange tone to compliment her lips; 'You Say Tomato' from MAC which is an orange red lipstick. I wanted a more high fashion/glamour look.
Hair: I actually used a piece I found from the dollar store for black women's hair... yes, I only paid 1 dollar! I put Nelli's hair up really tight in a pony and wrapped around the piece to a bun. Simple and easy!
I just completed this shoot today; there will be more work posted on my site shortly... Friday I have such an amazing photoshoot and I can't wait for you to see.
