A day in the life of an HMUA: Photo shoot invite! Maelle, natural look, no make-up, make up!

So I was invited to do hair and make-up for 2 beautiful French women last Saturday, 15th February. Jasmine, whom I've worked last time approached me and invited me to tie-up with her so both of us can develop our own portfolios. I was very delighted so I agreed.

Jasmine is a photographer and she's doing a project where she looks for real women who is career oriented but still are so devoted with their family/social life. She'd do an interview and photo shoot and feature them on her website.

The first project is with 2 French women, Maelle and Alexia. They are the owners of Foxysales, www.foxysales.com a leading flash sales website dedicated to moms, babies and kids in South East Asia! Moms/Mums, please do check their website. :D

First, I'd like to share my experience with Maelle. She doesn't wear make-up regularly and she asked me to do a more natural look for the shoot. I obliged and did soft smokey eyes just to define them and opted for nude lips. Here is the look.

I was only able to take few pictures as I needed to do another make-up for Alexia. I'll be posting her look in a separate blog post.

 

Definitely, there were hits and misses on her make-up but I hope you guys like the look I have created. I should really tell myself to not be afraid building up the make up and play with colours as light could only wash them off very easily during a photo shoot. However, I was extremely happy with the experience.

 

Please do check out my post for Alexia as well. Thanks for reading! :D
