An insight into my world<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every year, makeup artists everywhere are asked to participate in various projects to enhance their portfolio and hone their craft.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The behind the scenes of these projects is often kept under wraps so I decided to create this piece to lift the curtain and let you explore this world of mine. Welcome to the behind the scenes of a make-up shoot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Staying organised<\/b><\/p>\n

To shoot and succeed in <\/span>creating beautiful pieces to showcase your work, you need to be organised. Thankfully, the team for this project was in the wonderful hands of Reine Prestige Events.<\/a><\/p>\n

She provided us with her amazing vision as well as all the details necessary to complete our project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vendors also receive what is called a call sheet. This document details the day\u2019s schedule to ensure the team all have time to create the vision and get all the content for the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

We also receive what is called a moodboard, I use it as a base of inspiration. However, I always inject my own creative ideas to the final look to make sure it is something that my clients themselves would love.
\n<\/span>In this case I used the nude\/rose gold inspiration and added some <\/span>Inglot<\/span><\/a> gold eyeshadows to increase the <\/span>wow<\/span><\/i> effect on our model Nada. All the wonderful documents I just spoke of are visible at the top of this blog!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The day of the shoot<\/b><\/p>\n

On the day of the shoot, every vendor is called to arrive in accordance with the call sheet.<\/span><\/p>\n

I personally chose to set up in the best lit area and unpack my kit, placing the items I know I will use closest to where the model sits.<\/span>
\n<\/span>In this specific shoot I also had a few items to set up and take pictures of my own.<\/span><\/p>\n

I used a blend of <\/span>Makeup Forever<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Ben Nye Makeup<\/span><\/a> on her face and finished with a pair of my favorite lashes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her hair was styled and off she went to the first dress provided by <\/span>Chateau Nadia<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout the shoot I am tasked with maintaining the makeup look and sometimes pushing it to evolve with her style.<\/span><\/p>\n

That being said, this shoot was about showcasing my aesthetic so I chose to stay within the same theme. Here I am discussing my approach: <\/span><\/p>\n
