Photoshoot at Home

I asked my cousins, sisters China and Cristalle, to come to my condo for a some-what photoshoot. A little bit of amateur stuff since my schedule was free in the afternoon. I was in the mood to do a little fashion/beauty makeup, so I asked them for a peg how they want to look.


My cousin China chose Alicia Keys:

China really carried well the bronze look! Her makeup could also be JLO inspired... I airbrushed China's makeup about 2 shades darker than her natural skin color. I used a lot of golds, bronzers, and illuminating products to get that golden look.

Cristalle chose to be a snow/winter goddess:

Minus the snow flecks on the cheeks and the snowy background, we just fell in love with the eye makeup and the nude lips! I used an airbrush foundation that is 2 shades lighter than her natural color mixed with silver mixing medium to give an iridescent effect.

After our fun shoot, I photographed them together to show the contrast of the makeup. Soooo very yin yang! Ebony and Ivory-esque... ♥ IT!!

A Photoshoot At Home



Even though doing bridal makeup is my #1, I missed doing fashion makeup :) So, since I was on "day-off" today, I asked my cousin to model for me. I airbrushed her base and set it with Cinema Secret's translucent powder. China's chinita eyes were easy to play up. Even though her shape wasn't much of a deepset type, they were very easy to shape and put makeup on.

Drama was my peg... A look you won't see during the summer. So I wanted to make a look that would look "hot" by using cool colors still. Colors like dark brown, purple, maroon and shimmer mauve. I used a bluish/rose lipstick on her lips to complement the palette on her eyes.

Before having a dip in the pool...


FYI! Effects of Chlorine on hair and skin:

The chemical chlorine, when exposed to hair particularly on the arms and legs, has the ability to burn the tips of your hair off, resulting in a strand of hair having a blunt end. When the hair grows back an illusion of thicker and darker hair is given. Furthermore, hair loss on the head will be significant, however this hair, if exposed to chlorine on a regular basis, will dry out, resulting in an increase in split ended hair strands and bleached ends.

Chlorine damages the oil and mineral balance of cells, destroying the fluid balance, resulting in dried out, dead cells. This in turn leads to dry, peeling skin, which makes the surface of the skin appear shiny.

So make sure that after taking a dip, wash that chlorine off well! Shampoo your hair and condition your hair ends to repair the damage. Use products that doesn't cause hair fall. Use a loofa to exfoliate your skin and rinse very very well! After your shower, use a moisturizing lotion to re-hydrate your skin!
