Floral Editorial Preview (behind the scene)

A behind the scenes look at a recent floral editorial shoot I did makeup and hair for with photographer Lavenda Memory, stylist Rebecca Westby, model Hanna Thomsen, assistant Nick Wilson.  We started off at Lavenda's place with hair and makeup.  Then headed over to the McMenamins Edgefield grounds for the backdrop. 

Restyling hair and makeup can be a challenge in between wardrobe changes.  You have to do it fast, efficiently and creatively.  Sometimes hair just doesn't do what you want it to and you have to come up with something else on the fly.  Of course with Lavenda and Rebecca's eyes it made it a lot easier to achieve the looks we needed.  In the last picture, you can see that the hair and makeup changes took place from the back of an SUV.  I can't wait to share the gorgeous pictures with you sometime soon!

HD makeup vs. everyday makeup

I hope you are having a terrific Tuesday!  The IMATS in Vancouver, B.C. was a great experience and I gained some more makeup knowledge in the process.  It was a gorgeous day in Vancouver, I can't wait to go back there on vacation.  Without a doubt, one of my top favorite international cities.

Now on to today's topic.  Many people wonder what the difference is between HD makeup and regular makeup.  And why should I hire a professional makeup artist who uses HD makeup for my wedding or senior portraits?  The picture above shows you what happens when you combine an awesome photographer and a top of the line camera with everyday makeup.  You can literally see the makeup and the coverage isn't invisible as it should be.  HD makeup creates a soft focus effect for the camera, covers imperfections, and can withstand bright and harsh lighting.  It also means less work for a photographer in editing the images.  I hope this visual was helpful in showing you the difference. 

Sneak peak of tomorrow's dazzling senior, Shelby!
