This is a shoot I did a few months ago with my high school friends (who were more than willing to be my models! hahaha!). Special thanks to Carisse Nepomuceno, Cesca Gutierrez, Cara Tan, Ivorie Acosta, Janna Pablo, and Ciara Tolentino for helping me with this. It was a reaaally fun experience for me because there was absolutely no pressure! It was purely for our enjoyment and just a little something to add to my portfolio :)
If you want to create the look for yourself, Carisse and Cesca's make up is just the basic smokey or night make up. What's important with night make up is that it has to be a little more dramatic, especially when it comes to your eyeliners. I used deep olive green eyeshadow on their lids, but make sure not to scatter the eyeshadow too much (You don't want to look like a raccoon). Keep it dark on the lid and blend it upward towards the brow bone. Just keep on blending so the colors look diffused. For added effect, I used Make Up Forever's Star Powder in 955 on top of the eyeshadow. I also used Maybelline's Gel eyeliner in black on their upper lash lines and Mac Crayon Kohl in Black to make it more intense on the upper and lower waterline. Afterwards, I curled their lashes, placed mascara and added faux lashes.
TIP: ALWAYS curl your lashes BEFORE applying mascara. Curling them after may possibly damage them and it also gives you that unnatural right angle "curl".
As for Cara's make up, I just used peach eyeshadow all over her eyelid, and then a dark brown eyeshadow on her crease. Since her eyes are quite small, the brown eyeshadow will allow an illusion of a more wide-eyed look. I also used the same eyeliners on her, except that I used white eyeliner on her lower waterline. Again, this will make her eyes look bigger and brighter.
Thanks AGAIN to my friends - Janna for some of the photos, Ivorie and her siblings who helped out SO much, and Ciara who helped style the shoot. I'm really looking forward to our next shoot! Avant Garde! Yay! :)
