A couple of weeks ago I got the chance to work with Melissa Wenger (San Diego based photographer!) and a group of beautiful models. The location was Fiesta Island in San Diego which is stunning. The styling is very bright and fun, which pretty much reflects the spring season. As for make-up looks I'll be featuring, they're very different; one is sultry and glamorous, the other one is fresh and femenine. I'll be showing you the techniques and products I used to create these wonderful looks, ENJOY!
LOOK #1 - Soft Cut-Crease
Monica, has a beautiful soft cut-crease (A bold definition of the crease) with gold and brown eyeshadow. The rest of her face is lightly contoured and her lips have just a hint of pink.

Lid Maybelline Color Tattoo "Bold Gold"
Crease Inglot 457
Mascara L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black

Contour American Beauty Powder Foundation 12
Blush MAC Warm Soul
Lips
Lipstick Revlon Primrose
Create a nice golden base color, applying it on the
lid only! Then, with a small eyeliner brush draw your
crease, it may seem a little harsh but it helps give the cut-crease effect. Once you have the shape you want, smoke it outwards. Finish it off with some mascara and highlighter on the inner corner/brow bone.
LOOK #2 - Pink Highlight
Reno's look is lighter; it's all about highlighting and nice pink tones all over. Spring should be a "skin-vacation" from all the smokey eyes and bright lips from Winter.
Eye
Lid Maybelline Color Tattoo "Inked in Pink" and Inglot 397
Crease Clinique Stawberry Fudge and
PuurBody 'Aubergine"
Mascara L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black

For that beautiful brightness, add highlights all over the face (Key areas: Tip of nose, cupid's bow, cheekbones/temples and the inner corner of the eye.)
