Children's Makeup
Saturday, May 14, 2011
Before: bare / without makeup
----------------------------------------------------------
After: Minimal application; practically bare. Spot concealing and correcting, neutral and child-like shadow colors, natural lips.
Men's Makeup
Before: bare / without makeup
-----------------------------------------------
After: Thinnest possible layer of foundation and powder, and spot concealing and correcting. Going a shade darker is much, much more acceptable than going lighter. No eye makeup, no mascara, no blush (seriously, come on). Eyebrows and lips should just be filled in with color, but never shaped. Angled contouring on the rest of the face.
*note: Men's makeup is just usually applied on grooms, male models, and actors - a good know-how, but obviously not as common as female makeup.
Mature Woman's Makeup
Before: bare / without makeup
------------------------------------------------------------
After: Very minimal application; thinnest possible layer of foundation and powder. Spot concealing and correcting, neutral shadows, minimal contouring, dark neutral lips.
Bridal Makeup
Thursday, May 12, 2011
Before: bare / without makeup
--------------------------------------------------
After: Day Bride look
Matte finish, minimal shimmers for eye makeup. Neutral color palette, no obvious eyeliners and accents, and natural lips (or bride's preference).
*pardon me for the bad lighting, the camera I used then never took well-lit scenes as it should..
--------------------------------------------------
After: Evening Bride look
Practically the same as the Day look, except darker and smokier eyes. Still neutral shades, more shimmer can be used. Neutral to dark neutrals for the lips.
Smokey

(A look I did some time last month. Most of my very few artistically photographic shots look quite the same and taken from close angles; and now that I noticed, I have no idea why I didn't take a picture of this look with my eyes closed... )
