I had a request to do a makeup style that would be different and fun, but with TONS of color blocking. The photographers idea was to do a whole album of colorful pictures, and she knew how much i loved color, so she had me start it off. She gave me the three examples and said "Do what you want". Of course i tried one color at a time first, and the yellow just did not want to show up on our models skin, but the red, oh my was it beautiful on her. So we figured why not add two, whats the worst it can do. The colors together just worked so perfectly with her skin tone, and her soft stare gave it more of a tribal feel, which i always love. I did make the hair piece to match the original photos, and played around with the shapes on her face, but in the end i think it turned out perfect. The only downside was that we shot this outside, and every time i tried to do the splatter on her there would be a HUGE gust of wind. So i would recommend and inside shoot, and laying down a base on the skin for at lease some of it to hold for sure. I did not think about the base color until i saw the ANTM photos of the process and realized it was all painted down first then splatter was added. Now i know and would love to do this again.
Of course i would love to see other versions of this, so please, let me know. :)
