Amy & Adam's trash the dress shoot

I wanted to share some photos I received from Black duck photography of hair and makeup I did for a trash the dress shoot, not a bad way to wear your dress twice if you don't mind getting it a little destroyed... lol. We kept hair and makeup the same as Amy's wedding so the photos would follow on from their wedding pictures; updo hair in the morning and curls for the afternoon with glowing makeup and coral lips.

Heidi & Craig's engagement shoot

I received some pictures of hair and makeup I did for an engagement shoot from Black duck photography, an Adelaide based wedding photographers, who I've worked with a number of times.

I was asked to do bed hair with a natural no make look but with sexy eyes for an intimate boudoir shoot. Even though I was hired by the photographers this time to do a certain look I always double check with the subject just to make sure they are fine with everything. She was but I just had a feeling, and it wasn't until we got to the end that she mentioned she liked the bright blushes and it came out that she usually wore a lot of makeup and felt a bit naked as the makeup wasn't as full coverage. There's no point doing makeup the subject isn't comfortable with so i spent a bit more time going over to something she was more comfortable with but still keeping with the photographers request and you could tell she was a lot happier.

Eve Pearl Magic Salmon Concealer

Just a quick post of swatches from my Eve Pearl Magic Salmon Concealer and Treatment Wheel. It comes in 3 colours; light, medium and dark salmon, that can be used alone or mixed together to get the correct colour. Just remember when using concealer under the eyes if it looks ashy then the colour is too light, which is why I wanted to carry some salmon colours to neutralize the dark blue under eye circles rather then highlighting it.

Yaby liquid foundation

One of my favourite liquid foundations is a silicone base by Yaby. It has a smooth texture that's not thick so I can build coverage and the finish is not too shiny or matt, very nice and natural, like skin. I purchased it as a set from Makeup and Glow as i had the cream foundations and wanted something for people who didn't need full coverage but since its an oil free silicone base it's still good for oily/acne prone skins.
Yaby products were created with the makeup artist in mind so the packaging is always small and convenient for condensing kits (just how i like it!) but don't let the size fool you as with all pro brands its quite pigmented and has last me quite a while.
