Photo Shoot
Today was the day of my photo shoot. My concept was a clean beauty look with a subtle smoky eye and glossy pink lip. The hair was also meant to be very natural looking. To fit in with this concept I decided to dress my model in a men's dress shirt and long socks. This is a look that is very laid back and therefore fits the slightly messy looking hair but the dress shirt gives it enough of a professional look to justify the immaculate skin and glossy pink lip.
Luckily for me we were shooting in a studio that also had a make-up studio down the corridor. This was good because it meant that I was able to use a high chair so my back was not under any pressure. I was also able to set all my products and equipment up properly and was working under good lighting.
As I wanted the curls in my models hair to be very loose I did this process first so that they would drop. I first applied some heat protection spray to minimise any damage to my models hair and then wrapped sections about an inch wide around the curling wand. I also wrapped the hair loosely around the wand so that I created loose waves. I also wrapped the hair in different directions around the wand so that the waves looked tosseled.
I then moved on eye make-up. I applied the eye-shadow in the same way I had on my second trail But this time I applied a darker colour to the lid for this I used urban decay's 'naked 2'. I then continued with urban decay's 'faint' in the socket line and Ben Nye's 'black brown' to the outer corner. For highlighting the brow bone and centre of the lid I applied Ben Nye's 'shell'. My model bought the product she normally uses for her brows which is Soap and Glory's 'brow archary' this product has a pen application and more liquid formula so it was perfect for mimicking any sparse hairs. I then brush through the brows with brow gel and applied eye liner.This time I was a bit more minimal on the water line.
I then applied my base using the same technique I had in my trial. This time I had bought Mac's face and body foundation in white so the base worked better.
I used the same technique I had for my trail to apply my contour blush and highlight but I went slightly heavier this time so that I would pick up better on camera.
I then applied the lip colour this time using Mac's 'please me' underneath Mac's 'plink' this worked really well and gave me the desired colour.
After I powdered the make-up I went back to hair and added curls where I felt necessary and back combed the hair and the roots to add some lift. I then shook the hair with my fingers slightly to give it a bed head look.
After this we went into the studio and started shooting.
I am really happy with how my shots have turned out and I think that the look tries together really nicely. If I could do anything differently I may add some more texture to the hair. I think my favourite part of the look is the contour as this has photographed really well and is very effective yet subtle.

Second Trail Run for Photo shoot
This evening I did a trail run for the photo shoot on my model.
The first thing I did was to apply a base. From my earlier trail I learned that using studio fix was a bit heavy and far too matte as I want the skin to look fresh and dewy yet flawless. To achieve this I started by using my derma colour greasepaint concealer and applied this to any areas of this skin that needed some additional coverage. My model had some redness in her cheeks and nose she also had a small scar on her forehead so I added some derma colour to these areas. I mixed the colour from the pallet but I had to add some white from my super colour pallet due to my model having very fair skin. I applied this using a large eye-shadow brush. I then applied Mac's face and body over the top of this as this foundation leaves the skin with a dewy finish. The colour I have in my kit (C1) was a little dark for my model so I mixed some the white super-colour with this too. This took a very long time to mix so for my shoot I will purchase some face and body foundation in white as this is the same foundation so it will mix perfectly. I then applied some of the d32 colour under my models eyes to cancel out any blue tones. I then applied my previously mixed concealer colour over the top of this.
I then set the base using the Ben Nye loose powder in translucent using a duo fibre brush. This worked well as it set the foundation but did not take away the dewy finish I wanted. All in all I am happy with my base but I feel it will be better when I have purchased the white face and body foundation.
I then moved on to the eye make-up I started off by applying the urban decay primer potion to create a base for the eyeshadow so that it didn't crease or move. For the eye-shadow I changed used brow tones and used lighter tones than in my previous trial. I first applied the colour 'strange' from the urban decay naked 3 pallet and placed this all over the lid. I then applied the colour 'faint' form the urban decay basics pallet and buffed this into the socket line. After this I added some 'brown black' from the Ben Nye pallet to the outer corner and buffed this into the previous colours. I then added the 'shell' colour from the Ben Nye pallet to the centre of the lid and the brow bone as a highlight. For liner I used the l'oreal super liner perfect slim to the top lash line and blended it slightly so it was not a harsh line. I am much happier with this than in my previous trail as it was much thinner. I also added some black eye pencil to the water line only applying it to the outer third of the eye and blending the rest inward to keep a soft look to the eye. My final step for the eye make-up was to apply some of the faint colour to the lower lash line and blend it down so it was not a harsh line and then applied some black brown very tight to the lower lash line and blended this too. I feel that although the shape is correct and the blending is good there is a bit too much contrast with my colours and the socket line is a bit heavy. To rectify this next time I will apply a darker tone to the lid. I also need to apply the eye-shadow first as when the shadow dropped onto my base it became very messy due to the fact that the base was dewy so the shadow just stuck there.
For brows I filled in any sparse areas with Mac's brow pencil and then ran through the brow with a clear brow gel. I think I need to keep the brow a bit more natural for the look I want to achieve so for the shoot I will select a more appropriate product and be less heavy handed.
I then moved on to my contouring. For this I applied a dark ton form my la macaquillage pallet to the hollows of my models cheeks and blended this in. I then applied Mac's blusher in 'peach melba' to the cheeks just above the contour. After this I applied some highlight to the tops of the cheekbones. I used benefit's 'watts up' highlighter this worked really well as it is a cream champagne toned foundation. I am really happy with this part of the make-up but for the shoot I can probably afford to be a bit more heavy with it.
Finally I applied Mac's lipstick in 'plink'. This is a glossy pink tone which reflects the lipstick used in the Tom ford show but with a pinker tone. I like the way this looks but I would like the lips to have a stronger colour pay off for the shoot so I am going to apply Mac's 'please me' first and then add 'plink over top of this.

Bow
In today’s lesson we looked at cage work this is something you use as a frame work and cover it in hair. Cages can be made out of skrim and wire.
Today we worked on creating a bow to add to the hair. I created this bow by using a cardboard template and covered this in weft. I found this process very tricky as the hair I was using was not of the best quality and therefore my final shape ended up having some loose hairs coming off it.
I then pinned this into my models hair this worked fairly well. If my structure had been bigger I would have needed to create a loop of add some netting to the bottom of my structure in order to make it secure to the hair.
I then added the bow to a bun I had created in the hair by pinning it in using grips which I managed to hide pretty well.

Marc Jacobs SS15 Make-up
One make-up look and I have researched is from the Marc Jacobs.
This look features a 'no make-up' look and a messy black bob.
If I were to re-create this look I would only use foundation is absolutely necessary and if I were to apply some I would use one with a minimal coverage like Mac's face and body. I would then apply some concealer if necessary to any blemishes. I would then keep the eyes and lips make-up free and just run through the brows with a clear brow gel.
The models on the catwalk are wearing wigs but if I were to re-create this look using my models natural hair I would straighten it lightly as I'd still want a little texture in it. I would the back comb it to give it a messy texture. I would also add some dry shampoo to the hair to give it a drier texture.

Roberto Cavalli SS15
The make-up displayed at Roberto Cavalli's Spring Summer 2015 is a very wearable look. It features a bronze subtle smokey eye with shimmery bronze tones. It also features a flawless dewy skin, a very natural brow and little to no lip make-up.
If I were to re-create this look I would start by concealing and areas of my models face that contained any redness or blemishes with derma colour concealers to make the skin flawless. I would then apply Mac's face and body foundation over this as this foundation has a dewy finish. I would need the derma colour under this foundation as it provides a sheer coverage and I would want the skin to be completely flawless.
I would also keep any contouring and blusher very minimal as there is not very much visible form the pictures. I would also probably only apply a lip balm to the lips as there is no colour or gloss visible either.
For eye make-up I would use colours from my urban decay naked pallets as these are all neutral tones and most of them have a shimmer finish. There also does not look to be any eye-liner so I would probably ommit this from the make-up. The brows also appear to be very natural so I would probably just run through them with a clear brow gel.
I really like this look and I think this is what I would like to base my cover on. I would however like to combine some of the elements of Tom Ford's look, such as the glossy lip. I would also like to use matte colours instead of shimmers and I would like to use some eye-liner.

Alexander McQueen SS15
The make-up featured in Alexander McQueen's spring summer collection this make-up was on the minimal side but liner to complement the masks that the models were wearing.
If I were to re-create this look I would use a medium coverage foundation with a dewy finish. Some thing similar to Clarins Skin Illusion foundation. I would also add some Mac strobe cream to the tops of the models cheek bones, forehead and down the centre of the nose.
The look features a bleached brow so to create this I would either bleach my models eyebrow or block the eyebrow out with spirit gum and apply and blond colour over the top of it. I would then re-create the eye make-up using a champagne tone eye-shadow to the eyelid similar to Urban Decay's 'sin' and then I would apply an off white shimmer to the inner corner of the eye similar to Urban Decay's 'venus'. I would hen apply a then apply a thin black liner to the lash line, for this I would use loreal's super liner perfect slim as this product allows you to create a very thin line. I would then use a pencil liner to line the waterline but being careful not to over load the waterline as I want a fairly then line. I would the apply one coat of mascara as the lashes don't look to be overloaded with product.
The lips look to be very pale with minimal product so I would apply a tiny bit of something similar to Mac's myth and then apply some paw paw ointment over this to sheer it out and add some gloss to the lip.
For the hair I would apply a wet look hair gel and scrape the hair back using a wide toothed comb and put it into a bun that layers the hair in a square shape in the centre of the head.

Tom Ford SS15
The next look I have researched is the make-up and hair from Tom Fords SS15 collection.
This look has been described by the make-up artist who designed it ,Charlotte Tilbury as 'The Polished Rock Chic' that was inspired by The Pretenders front woman Chrissie Hynde.
For this look Tilbury prepared the skin with a Tom Ford moisturiser and then concealed any imperfections. For this look the skin needed to be flawless while looking as natural as possible. Therefore if I were to re-create this look I would use derma colour to conceal any imperfections first and then apply Mac's face and body foundation over the top of this. Another option would be to use a full coverage foundation that has a full coverage, similar to Mac's Studio Sculpt foundation or Illamasqua skin base.
For the eyes a 'moody gun-metal eye-shadow' was applied to the lid and the blended up toward the brow bone and into the socket line. To re-create this I would use Urban Decay's eyeshadow in to add definition Tilbury applied the graphic black eye pencil from Mac along the lash line and waterline and then blended this into the eye-shadow. As I don't have this product in my kit I would substitute it for Rimmel's Scandaleyes eye pencil as this is a creamy product that would blend nicely but is waterproof so will stay in place. Form my reference photo it looks as if a bit of the eyeshadow has been applied to the lower lash line so I would be sure to do that. It also looks as if a matte buff coloured eye-shadow has been applied to the brow bone to achive this I would use Urban decay's eye-shadow in W.O.S. Tilbury states on her blog 'You can never have too much mascara with this Rock Chick look – so apply lashings to the top and bottom lashes for instant full fat lashes'. For this I would apply a minimum of 4 coats of mascara to the lashes and use a volumising rather than lenghthening mascara such as the Loreal millionise mascara. The brows look to have been kept fairly natural so I would simply brush through them with clear brow gel or only fill in sparse areas using a pencil in small feathery strokes.
Due to the strong eye look the lip was kept nude. The lipstick that was used for the look was Tom Ford's 'Vanilla Suede' which is a sheer nude with a frost finish. I don't own this lipstick so I would use Mac's 'plink' which has a pinker tone than the 'Vanilla Suede' but I feel that It would still work.
To highlight Tilbury used the same lipstick that had been applied to the lips on the cheekbones. I wouldn't use my subtitued lipstick for this as I feel it would be too pink to highlight so therefore I would either use Benefit's 'watt's up' highlighter or Revlon's 'photoready lights' illuminator.
The hair for this look is fairly natural with a very slight wave and a slightly messy appearance. To achieve this I would keep my models hair natural. However if my model had very straight hair I would wrap large sections around a curling wand very loosely then brush it through so the wave is very subtle. If the model had very curly hair I would first straighten the hair then repeat the process. I would also backcomb the hair slightly and add some dry shampoo then mess it with fingers to give it the slightly deceived look that is presented on the models photographed.
