Secret Garden

Once again, Allie Beckwith has proven that her creative vision, along with her natural talent, can produce absolutely stunning photographs. This particular shoot was fun and had a touch of whimsicality to it, which was very fitting given the setting was a secret garden. I felt that it was fitting to play that up with the hair and makeup, so when Allie said she wanted literally a head full of flowers, I thought, lets go for it! All three of the shoots Allie and I have done together have each been so different and unique but at the same time each one holds their own in terms of impact and talent. This is all such a wonderful experience for me, given that my absolute dream job would be a high fashion make-up artist. Allie is giving me the ability to get my toes wet, and satisfy my craving for being creative and literally creating. Please go and check out Allies blog for all of the photos from this shoot and from sooo many more. You cannot help but be inspired by this talented girl. Enjoy!!

Creative Collaboration #2

I was excited and honored when my friend Allie asked me to be a part of another fashion photoshoot she was creating. This time around she wanted to do something totally opposite from the previous shoot. I kept the hair slicked back and did an updo using precise straight lines, which is completely different from the beautifully wild and crazy hair of the last shoot. Allie had a vision of what she wanted for makeup, so to make that vision come to life, I began by adding an inky black eye, neutral lips and matte skin. The beautiful model, Tiffany Dignard, had angled features naturally, so I played that up by contouring her cheekbones even more. Over all, I am continiously AMAZED by the creativity and vision that Allie Beckwith possess'. I'm blessed that I found my passion and I am beyond thrilled that I get to have fun doing what I love with someone so talented.

Red

With red being my favorite color (and one of my favorite CD's at the moment) I decided to try out an old Urban Decay shadow in "Gash". I used a red eye base which made the color pop and last all day. Red is perfect for blue/green eyes because it makes them stand out from the contrast of the colors. To make this wearable for day like I did, I only applied the red color on my lid. I didn't bring it up over the crease or on my lower lashline. Beautiful color! Xo
