CLIENT: MICHELLE - MAKEUP TRIAL 03262011

I've just kind of signed a partnership deal with Fotog_Republic(mentioned in this blog entry) & I've started doing makeup on some of their clients last week... my first client is Michelle, no not my friend Michelle (also mentioned in my previous post), but her co-worker Michelle....

indoors, no flash 

 

I chose a nude lipstick to match with the heavy eye makeup, but later on, she decided she wanted to try a bolder lip color, which she settled for...

additional notes on the client:

- Michelle has really smooth skin with a few redness & very little blemishes.. the foundation application was really easy...

- I was gonna put falsies on her but didn't need to, as she has thick & long lashes after applying the  mascara

- she has nice full lips, it was cool putting lipstick on her.. dang! I wish my lips are full like hers... =(

- Michelle was color matched as a NC42 shade at MAC but said she looks orange with the foundation she has.... I used Revlon ColorStay foundation (for Oily/Combination skin) in Rich Tan on her... I was so scared the foundations I have with me won't match her but luckily, the Rich tan did... the client called a couple of days later asking what foundation I used on her...  she thinks it matched her skin perfectly... yay!!!! that made me so happy!! =)

- Michelle is also featured on Fotog_Republic's blog HERE & HERE
