Smoky & Sultry Fall Session

 

Kara is a repeat client. Every year we get together so I can do her makeup for Halloween. This year she chose to be a flight attendant, and we decided to give her a "smoky and sultry" look to top it off-- hence the title of this post. 

The deep smoky eye and bold red lips are classic. 

Marilyn Monroe would be proud. 

But while we're on the subject of the overall look, can I please point out how great her skin is?! My only job was to give it the glow it needed to pull everything together, which I did with ample highlighting and a side of bronzing. 

I also gave her brows a slight more dramatic touch than her everyday wear. But it was necessary to help frame her face and make everything look polished. You have to understand, that as an artist, I see everything in terms of balance. 

Overall, I loved this look. I think it's one that would compliment anybody's eyes, face structure, skin tone, etc. 

Would you be bold enough to rock this look? Leave me comments and let me know! 

Warm Fall Makeup Session

So incredibly happy with this fall makeup I did a while back. Greyson is such a beautiful girl, and I really enjoyed working with and talking with her. I used a variety of Makeup Geek shadows to create this look, which is a vibrant gold and cranberry eye with bright fuschia berry lips.

My goal was to bring some color to her face that would accentuate the changing leaves outside, and create a glow that would radiate in her photography session that afternoon. 

This look is one of my favorites that I've created these last few months. And as always, I'm grateful to every client who gives me an opportunity to make them feel beautiful for the special moments in their lives.  

I hope you enjoy these, and I'm planning on getting a few more client posts up tonight! I'm feeling productive, and I'm on a roll now. 

Look out, Gussied Up Fans!
