The amazing hair team led by Anji Benben did a fantastic job and for the costumes they were spectacular!!!! Thank you Michael Wilkinson for the inspiration….

Emily arrived always with her skin moisturized and ready for makeup….
products used: prep and prime… face and eyes… Strobe lotion…Mac
The foundation varied …It was always the lightest color that was available, When possible I opt for a mineral make-up.
I started with Sappho cosmetics as a under base to the Armani, Christian Dior Mineral Makeup, Shiseido, ShuUemura, Kevin Aucoin and Revlon Colorstay in Ivory, witch I airbrushed on…
I often change foundation in the course of a movie, with Emily sensitive skin, changing foundation was the utmost importance, so it wouldn’t react too badly after all…I always choose two foundations a lighter and another about 3 shades darker…I do the contour ( highlight and shading) that way…once the face is ready for the foundation I either airbrush or use the pink sponges…
The blush was a combination of a Mac cream blush in red applied under the foundation and powdered…the final red cheeks were Shu Uemura Red #14 ( I used a round fluffy brush)
Amazing concealer in Ultra fair…
The lashes were #111 from Ardel… and Red Cherry #13
Eyeliner Blacktrack Mac
The eyeshadows were from a Visiora palette but you can find the same colors in Mac with Vanilla for the lightest and a deep brown and burgundy tones for contour and shading…apply the lighter color first all over the lid, then do the contouring in the socked of the eye, from the inner to the outer corner. Blend Bled Blend
Lips where sheseido: lip liner BE701 lipstick BE 109
All the pigments and glitter were from Mac amazing collection…
The idea behind this look was to “really” make her like a doll
The finish touch was a light spray of shimmer on the high points…and ofcourse my own creation “tron powder” was widely used ….the extra glow.
Once the movie was over I went to Japan for a week…and surprise surprise there are a lot of Babydoll’ s in Japan…!!!
If you have a dark complexion don’t use the lights colors…go for warm tones with bronze and golds….the blush maybe in the deep coral tones.
Good Luck,
Next I’ll do Blondie’s Make-up breakdown….
Here is a quote from the Dermascope magazine that I truly believe in and want to share with all the aspiring Make-up Artists ..
“If your own makeup is too heavy, unskillfully applied, or is missing from your face completely, a client will question your level of talent. Makeup artists rely heavily on their portfolios to book clients, but if your first impression is not a lasting one, clients will not even care to see the portfolio. Even if they do give it a glance, they may doubt that it was really you who did the work.”
Enjoy
