Portfolio Building W/ Studio Allure Photography

My awesome photographer friend Dwain helped me out recently, I have yet to have my work photographed professionally and he fixed that! So grateful for his help. He has always been one of my favorite Columbus, Ohio photographers he does awesome work. So I asked my boss if I could use her daughter as one of my models and a close friend (may as well be family) let me use one of her daughters as well for the shoot. These are some of the photos from the day. The finished product pics are the last two.

Monaharay's Graduation Makeup :) Before and After

Im so proud of Monaharay. She worked really hard all through school. Yesterday she graduated and I got to do her makeup :) We used Nars foundation in macao. Makeup forever full coverage concealer in shade 14. Ben Nye Banana powder to set the her highlights and Cover Fx setting powder in deep for the rest of her  face. A MAC highlighter I cant think of the name right now but its a loose golden powder.  Urban Decay anniversary palette shades on the eyes, Makeup Forever blush in color 22. A brown lipliner and a deep pink lip stick with buxom pink lady on top. Anastasia brow wiz in carmel and brow powder in a med shade. It came out pretty :)

Before and After Time!

So I mentioned a couple weeks back that I was going to start freelancing in edition to what I do at Sephora. Since my blog is listed on my business cards and comp card, Im gonna start posting before and after pictures of my clients :) First is my beautiful friend Crystal! I will never forget the help she gave when I first had my daughter, I was soooo tired and she came over so I could sleep. Sleep is more valuable than diamonds and gold when you have a 2  year old and a few day old baby. Now shes 5 months preggie and I cant wait to be able to hold her little bundle of joy when he gets here! Yesterday I got to do her hair and makeup and here are the before and after pics. My favorite era is the 50's and 60's  that old hollywood glam is beyond gorgeous to me. I had that in mind as I did her hair and makeup. She said she had never wore a red lip before so we played with that and it turned out amazing!
