Artistry I

Sarah and I get bored sometimes. This was one of those times of course. I wanted to practice some make-up blending and natural lighting techniques and she wanted to have some photo fun, so we did!
I used pinks, yellows and oranges for this soft look and attached a white bow made out of tool to Sarah's hair and we had a 'look' to shoot. The make-up was inpired by a M.A.C. make-up postcard that Lauren brought over for me to see. I love the soft blending effects that powder shadows can have without any eye shadow primer.

Tee is model's own and I loved it. Heard that quote on Kell On Earth. She explained it to the fullest. It's hard to argue otherwise now.
