I was trying to find a model and make-up artist or alternatively a photographer who could shoot the make-up on myself. I was able to ask Chelsea to create a make-up look with the products and photograph the look on me.
Although the shoot was left until very late and I was anxious about the project on a whole, we had a really good time both when applying the make-up and in the photography studio.
I showed Chelsea the products and talked her through what sort of look I wanted, clean, natural, gloss, healthy. She was excited to try the products as had never used organic make-up before, saying she was surprised with how well they preformed.
At first we tried a few close ups, although I wasn't really happy with the crop and how my face looked that close up.
I am so pleased with how the make-up looked, I though the contour may have been a little strong looking in the mirror but actually it picked up well on camera. I am glad I asked Chelsea to help with the make-up, she really understood what look I was asking for and I think she's a really skilled make-up artist.
These four images are my favourite , I think I will choose one of these for the RMS beauty article.
Macro Lens
The second half of the shoot was not so successful, I had cream products on my eyelids so was asked to look down for the images, while I wanted to see what she was capturing, chelsea wanted to capture the image without having to amend them. I did not see these images until after and we were at the end of the studio booking.
I wanted the images closer really, I took some images of chelsea to show her how I wanted them, but didn't get as close.
I don't think these images look particularly great so do not think I will be using them.
Overall a successful shoot, myself and chelsea made a good team, while the macro photography didn't work, i feel there are still some good images to use on my blog.
