Hi ladies,
Recently I was involved in a photo shoot for an urban T-shirt company. The owner turned up with all his rapper friends and it was quite different. They even started singing while we were doing the make-up. The company also does other accessories like caps and so on-cool stuff.
When I got the call sheet it said Asian/Arab & Cleopatra as the key words for the look.
This is was my Cleopatra inspired look:

This is was my Cleopatra inspired look:
I took inspiration from this iconic look by Tina Turner
We also did a more casual look:
Photography: Caron Westbrook
Fashion house: Labsolja
Look 1
For the face I used
Luminese Air Brush System but I used OCC's foundations
Graftobian powder foundation to set
For the eyes
I used a black gel liner (Inglot) and a gold pigment (MUFE) mixed with a mixing medium to make it into a liner too.
I also applied some lashes
For the lips
I used a mixture of lipsticks and glosses
Look 2
For the face
I used the same as for the other look
For the eyes
I used again the black gel liner (Inglot) and an aqua liquid liner (MAC)
For the cheeks
I used a red based blush and a gold highlighter (MAC)
For the lips
I used a burgundy lipstick (MAC) and a gloss (Bobbi Brown)
I'm quite happy with the result. When I look at the make-up on photos I always thing that I could have done this like that and maybe I would have changed this other but I have to say-I'm quite pleased.
You can see more photos here.
What do you think?
