Hi everyone! I haven't posted about makeovers for quite some time and it's time I do! A couple of weeks ago, my dear friend Emily has a best friend who will be tying a knot soon and she wants me to do her best friend's Prenuptial Shoot make-up.
Requirements:
- Natural looking foundation! Face that matches the neck and the rest of the body.
- Make-up that shows up on photos.
- Make-up that can withstand the heat as the client will be having her shoot noontime at UST grounds! (oh my goodness, with this kind of weather!)
Client's skin condition:
- She actually has really good skin! Very soft and smooth, easy to apply foundation all over.
- Gets red/rashes easily.
- Perspires easily on the nose and above the lip area.
I primed her skin with oil control primer on areas that oils up easily and use a regular moisturizing primer on drier areas. To cover up her redness, I used Make Up For Ever's Green Corrector. Making sure the corrector is applied evenly, I chose the foundation that matches her skin (as she's not acidic). I used Graftobian Foundation.
Using foundation 2-3 shades lighter than her skin, I highlighted areas like the bridge of her nose and on the cheekbones. Set with powder foundation then I proceeded with the eye make-up.
Client wanted to get out of her comfort zone. She's not comfortable wearing eye makeup, she's actually just a foundation and lipstick person! Thanks to her open-mindedness she actually told me to do whatever works for her face! I was going for eyes that's well defined!
With the help of false lashes, cream blush topped with powder blush, lipstick and a bit of contouring. She's ready for her pictorial!
Oh with regards to her "perspiring a lot" issues, I advised her to pat with regular tissue paper then advised her to use oil blotters for areas that oil up easily! As much as possible, I asked her not to retouch too much with face powder as the shade of her foundation may change!

It wasn't difficult to prettify her as her gorgeous 1,000-watts smile can lit up any room!
Told you! Keep smiling! Stay happy and you'll look gorgeous!

Aisyah, do read it again as I inserted the perspiration issue in between hehehe thanks for reminding me, I was supposed to write about it but got sidetracked!
Issa, I used the primer from Cover PX.
awww...turns out only tissue could help with that problem..>__< I carry a pack everytime I go out and used ALL! ahahaha..I hope my nose would not perspire too much..It looks like I'm feeling hot eventhough I'm not =( maybe a bit of weight lose would help? ahaha.. thanks for the tip anyway ^^

ReplyDeleteWow Nikki, I am impressed with this makeover. You really know how to do eye make up for single eyelid girl. (Did I see correctly?) Maybe next time you can do a mini tutorial on a monolid model. I would love to see that.
