Canadian Beauty College - Photo Shoot

Today I had an opportunity to participate in a photo shoot to help build my makeup artistry portfolio.  I originally had a photo shoot scheduled back in March, but because of a few photoshopping issues on the part of the photographer, today I was able to do a 're-shoot' - I had a blast.  I had no idea what my model looked like in advance, so I came prepared with a lot of ideas, but for some reason I kept on thinking 'exotic meets romantic', so I decided to do a subtle egyptian goddess meets the girl next door - here are some pics from the photo shoot:

To bring out that exotic charm, I used a lot of warm/spicy colours: golds, bronzes, amber, olive green, rust/orange.  I really wanted the photo to have a bit of an action component, so we used a fan to make the models hair look wind-blown, as if she had been out in the sun, being active and simply enjoying life.
