Fshnunlimited Designer Feature - Sid Neigum

Below is another makeup & hair contribution I put forth for Fshnunlimited Magazine's Winter 2016 Issue. This was a spotlight feature on talented local designer, Sid Neigum, accompanied by Elite Model Alexa L. ~ She was lovely to work with and truly embodied the type of character & persona needed to bring Sid's designs to life. Sid-1-1 Sid-1-2 Sid-3 Sid-4

Makeup & Hair: Sherlyn Torres

Fashion direction: Dylan Dias assisted by Rebecca Wengle

Peep some of the behind the scenes photos I shot with my iPhone ;)

To get Alexa's look, here are some of my product highlights & suggestions: 

1. Lancome La Base Pro Perfecting Makeup Primer  $48 US ~ One of my all time faves! It's reliable & won't clog your pores

2. NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation in Vallauris  $48 US ~ Ultra lightweight & won't dry out your skin during the cold winter months (light to medium coverage)

3. Dermalogica Active Moist Moisturizer  $72 CA ~ Just the right amount of hydration without the sticky feeling. It's great for combination & sensitive skin. Drier skin types may want to try a slightly heavier alternative during the coldest parts of winter

4. Anna Sui Pressed Powder  $38 CA ~ I adore Anna Sui's packaging and her eco-friendly approach of selling refills for nearly all of her cosmetics which also saves us money :)

5. M.A.C. Coppering Eyeshadow  $19 CA each ~ A gorgeous shade of copper to shade the crease and lower lash line using the #217 blending brush above & #219 pencil brush below

6. Anna Sui Rose Lip Balm  $24 CA @ Hudson's Bay ~ Leaves your lips smooth and hydrated without a greasy feel. Opt for the rouge jar version for a hint of soft pink ;)

7. Pro Longwear Waterproof Brow Set in Bold Brunette & Brown Ebony  $21 CA ~ My current go-to product for filling in, grooming & setting brows all in one step!

8. Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner  $22 US  /  $26 CA ~ Amazing for an intensely rich black line that glides on smoothly and lasts all day long.

9. Chanel Le Crayon Kohl in 69 Clair  $30 US ~ Perfect for brightening up the lower water line and inner eye corners for a bright-eyed look. Also comes w/ a cute Chanel sharpener!

10. M.A.C. Lipsticks in All I Want, Japanese Maple, Gossamer Wing  $20 CA ~ All equally gorgeous neutral & warm shades to partner up with copper, burgundy or bronze smokey eyes

11. M.A.C. Sculpting Power in Shadester  $26 CA ~ One of my fave contour products for lighter complexions. Won't oxidize or look orange and has a soft matte finish.

Factory Girls Photoshoot

factory-girls-products-640x430.jpeg

  factory girls shootThe mannequin theme of this particular shoot allowed my team & I to get a little more creative with the hair & makeup looks. We also loved playing off the minimal & futuristic vibe of the outfits w/ hints of soft pastel tones.

Product Highlights // Get the Looks:

1) M.A.C Prep & Prime Lip ~ Always start your makeup routine w/ lip balm or lip primer (especially during colder months & when using long lasting lip colours)

2) Lancome La Base Primer ~ Ultra smoothing and increases longevity of your foundation (apply 1-2 minutes after moisturizing)

3) NARS liquid foundation ~ This foundation gives a satin finish w/ buildable coverage

4) M.A.C. Gloss Texture ~ Apply on tops of cheekbones, bridge of nose & brow bone for a mannequin like dewy look

5) Anna Sui Star Lipstick in Red Wine #402 ~ A perfect fall shade w/ a hydrating satin finish

6) YSL Blush & Contour Brush ~ The soft tapered bristles makes blending a breeze!

7) M.A.C. Brow Set ~ this product grooms & fills in brows + sets them in place (use before or after filling in w/ brow powder or pencil)

8) Chanel eyeshadow quad ~ one of my fave combination of shades for classic shadow looks that can be customized from day to night (apply minimally to achieve a clean look and allow the liner to take centre stage)

9) Anna Sui Perfect Mascara ~ gives amazing water-resistant definition

10) Chanel #30 Brow Pencil ~ I love this brow pencil for perfecting brow shapes w/ a soft & neutral effect

11) M.A.C. Lip Mix in white ~ to create the uber pale lip tones for our  minimal mannequin inspired looks

12) Stila Stay all day liquid liner in intense black ~ A staple in my kit for creating sharp, defined, long lasting lines

13) Anna Sui Lipsticks ~ various shades mixed to create the bright lip shades in bottom middle photo (absolutely love the textures of these!)

14) Stila Liquid Lipstick in Beso ~ apply w/ a precise lip brush for a smooth, matte long lasting lip colour // I used a light version (carina) on top of beso for the lower lips in photos 1, 3 & 4 to create a two-toned lip

15) M.A.C. white liner ~ applied  as an accent under brows, on inner water-lines and on top of lids for a cool wintery look ;)
