Pink and Pretty Look For Saturday

My friend Kirk asked me like a few weeks ago if I would like to do makeup for his friend's shoot. I like Kirk's work as a photographer plus his quick post-processing without altering the makeup. I agreed to do the shoot. While booking, we were supposed to book our home base studio but since our 2 favorites are fully booked, he asked me if I knew any other studios. I remembered that a friend of mine set up a studio down south and since we're all from the south area, we booked at Keylight Studios.


I wanted to go for happy and girly today for some reason so I curled my hair using a thin ceramic hair iron (which holds curls easier but I find this harder to control than a regular curling iron) and did an all-pink makeup scheme that's as girly as my hair.
To recreate this look. here's what I used for makeup.

Shown:

DIRECTIONS:

FACE

• Even out skin with the necessary color-correctors and concealers. For me, I used a peach-toned concealer under my eyes and topped this and all other imperfections with concealer.
• Apply foundation (creme-to-powder in a dewy finish) with a sponge and set with powder.
• Contour face to bring the natural planes of the face forward. Here, I used blush with a brown undertone like the blush shown here, which comes with my Elizabeth Arden Palette.
• After blending my contours, I used a candy pink color on my cheeks for a pop of color

EYES

• Define brows with eyebrow pencil and powder in a brown shade. Brush with brow gel to set.
• Apply a shell-colored cream base from lashline to browbone.
• Use a bone-colored nude shadow on the browbone as a highlight.
• Neutral peach color on the lid and blend these well.
• For color-contour, I brushed a matte pink shadow on the outer V and crease. Blend well.
• Line eyes with dark brown liner and set pencil liner with brown powder. Try getting the liner in between lashes for the illusion of full lashes.
• Curl lashes and apply mascara.

LIPS

• Line lips with a pink lipliner and fill in.
• Apply a complementary pink shade on lips and top with gloss if desired.

Shoot was fun and fast and I even had time to get some shots done. Sure can't wait to post them!
