Time to Make Up

Ever since I started blogging, I've been focusing on my photography skills. I love doing portraits and beauty shots. But I keep on thinking how to make my photos even more beautiful. Looking at the work of other people, I realized that to have a perfect beauty shot is to have a proper make up. Make up helps to  make the photo more intense, dramatic and  powerful.

This is the reason why I said yes when a good friend invited me to visit her place for a little project which we will be collaborating with. Chantielle, who just finished her professional make up course  will try what she had learned. It's been a long time since I spent my weekend working with a friend on a photoshoot so this day is something special.

Applying make up takes a very detailed skill. It wasn't as easy as what I am expecting.  Tik tok! So while we are waiting for the model's final look, I took some photos while Chantielle is applying make up on her. I just love the transformation she did on Sandy. A day look that includes defined eye makeup with a deep bold lips.

As our model, Sandy's gorgeousness and style combined with her sophisticated personality made taking pictures with her so much fun!  It was fun running around that day and just giggling and goofing off together! Here are some of the photos which I posted on my art blog. Check the photos here.

I should say many thanks to Sandy for modelling, Chantielle for the make up and Jong for assisting me during the shoot. It was actually a great team helping each other out and learning new skills. I know that there is still so much to learn with since this is my very first shoot with a professional make up artist, I'm looking forward what I can achieve in time.
