We Do Our Makeup Artist’s Makeup
Blog by Michael J. Vanderveen
Recently we convinced our good friend and local makeup artist, Claire Nobles to allow us to do her makeup on camera. We thought the idea of two guys who have never done makeup in their lives doing makeup on a professional (and frankly extremely talented) makeup artist would be pretty funny. Turns out we were totally right.
Zach & I experienced emotions ranging from fear to wonder to confusion. We touched eyes which as you’ll see Zach loved. We went with bold color choices like gold sparkly eye shadow and multi toned lips. We... we... we made Claire look like The Joker.
Claire gave us a list of requirements, we had to do everything from foundation to blush to eyeliner and even fake eyelashes which totally freaked me out. In turn she put up with our silliness and our over the top sense of humor to help create this video. The whole thing took about two and a half hours to film so obviously we rewarded ourselves and Claire with pizza at the end of the shoot. As you’ll see, she deserved it.
Enjoy the video below!
Now I think it would only be fair to include a few pictures after the fact to show the wonderful work Claire has done for us (you should check her out at Clairenobles.com).
First an engagement shoot at Reinstein Ranch
Then a fitness shoot with Nicole in her hoodie.
Yoga at Reinstein Ranch.
A dance shoot at Ohlone College with Bliss Dance Company.
A shoot with the beautiful Jenna at Oak Hill Park in Danville, CA.
And of course, last but not least, she modeled and did her own makeup in this final photo. :)
Until next time!
