Red Riding Hood

Today I did my first professional location job. I have mucked around with friends before and helped out on hair expos and such, but this was my first real job as a MUA for a photo shoot.

The theme was 'Red Riding Hood' and I had alot of fun assisting the photographer and directing the model, as well as doing the makeup (of course!).  The shoot was at Norman Lindsay Gallery in Faulconbridge and we just went from place to place finding interesting trees and leaves to shoot amongst.
I really love both of these images and I'm really excited to see the final shots.

The Photographer was after a specific look, so he sent me some reference pictures and I ended up deciding on a black smokey eye and red lips, as this was in the majority of the pictures he had sent and it went along with the theme well. I wanted to keep her skin flawless yet youthful looking, so i finished it off my one of my favourite products - M.A.C Fix + - which really gives that lovely glow and freshness to the skin, while setting the makeup.

All in all, it was a really good day and i got great feedback from both the Photographer and Model.
