Last shoot of the year...not a bad way to send off 2011, right? It's the first creative shoot I've done with Jono and I hope it's the first of many!
The look on Kyla for this shoot was strong but needed to appear flawless and effortless...sometimes it's harder to edit and hold back on a look than creating something over the top.
She is quite tanned and we needed to tone her down a bit, so I used a lighter foundation and brought in the warmth through the contour. I contoured quite a lot and pulled all corners of the makeup up to emphasize Kyla's incredible jawline. The eye shadow was also pulled out and up and I used a fair amount of highlighter on the top of the cheekbones.
I sculpted the brows and filled them in so that they created a strong and defined framework for the face. I also gently contoured the sides of Kyla's nose to add more definition.
To finish the look, I used the MAC 205 mascara brush to apply a very thin layer of brown mascara to the top lashes. We didn't want it to look like Kyla was wearing mascara, just that she had definition...which this technique does beautifully.
