So I did this photo shoot recently with Colombian jewelry designer Claudia who was introduced to me by my very good friend Yuki Tansengco. The former has recently released the latest collection of her line from Calima Jewelry, and together with hair stylist Jandra Babiera and photographer Laya Gerlock, we were able to produce the very first photo shoot for the designer.
So here's how you can recreate the look I did on model Xandra Rocha.
I always start my models by cleansing their face with MAC Wipes which is great to remove any existing makeup or dirt in general. I then spray MAC Fix+ to hydrate the skin followed by Physiogel Moisturizer suited for her skin type. It's important to have the water particles of Fix+ still present when applying moisturizer to allow the sealing of moisture onto the skin. The next product is MAC Fortified Skin Enhancer in Neutralize which is a primer and a corrector at the same time for any red pigmentations. Let it set for a while before applying any makeup.
Foundation is up next and for a dewy finish on the skin I decided to use my all time favorite MAC Studio Sculpt. Without setting it with powder I went right ahead in applying a bit of contour using Harmony blush, and topped it off with a pale pink blush in Well Dressed. Just right beside the outer corners of her eye, I draw a C-shape highlight using MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Blonde touching the peak of where the blush was.
For her eye makeup, I went with MAC Veluxe Brow Pencil in Deep Dark Brunette to match her hair color. Using a MAC Prolongwear Paint Pot in Painterly, I applied it all over her eyelids as a base to what I was gonna put on top. I simply dabbed a MAC eyeshadow in All That Glitters where her eyeball was, Espresso in her crease, and Ricepaper in the inner corners of her eye. Quick trend tip, dont put a brow highlighter anymore. Finish the look with a very thin line of MAC fluidline in Blacktrack only on the top lash line, and 2 coats of mascara using In Extreme Dimension 3D.
For the lips, I didnt use any lip pencil since I wanted her natural lip color to blend with MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick in Tea Ceremony.
As a final touch, set everything using Prep+Prime Transparent Finishing Powder Pressed and then spray MAC Fix+ once again to seal everything into place.
The designer wanted the look to be very natural so these colors are perfect to showcase the main product which is the jewelry.
