Makeup & Hair for Minto Condo Commercial

Commercial Makeup & Hair Work for Minto Condominiums:

The building / structure style of the new Minto Condo is going to have an art deco flare.

What immediately came to mind in relevance to this era is the great gatsby style of clothing, makeup and hair that people wore during the late 20s & early 30s. As a key makeup and hair artist, it is my job to translate the directors vision but also keep the looks fresh, innovative and modern. I learned how to create period specific looks while in school but its still important to research, save references and tweak the looks to suit the atmosphere & wardrobe on the day of on set. The below video is the directors cut and I absolutely love how it turned out! Enjoy!

Paris Li - Lookbook Photoshoot

 

Paris Li Spring/Summer 2013 Ad Campaign & Lookbook

It’s always a pleasure to connect with up & coming designer, Paris Li on her semi-annual shoots. Whether it’s her S/S or F/W collection, her designs are always elegant but flowy & comfortable to wear at the same time.

My partner Tavis Gordon & I collaborated once again and banged out these very clean commercial shots.

As for makeup & hair, I kept Taylor’s look very clean & classic so as not to take away from the clothing. It’s always best to do simple beautiful makeup, enhancing the model’s features but not going to over the top when it comes to working with designers. Not to mention, it will also keep my portfolio relevant for years to come ;)

Paris Li | F/W 2013 Ad Campaign

On set doing makeup & hair for Paris Li’s Fall/Winter 2012/13 Campaign Shoot featuring Steph from Elite Models.

Paris Li wanted the makeup & hair to look fresh & young ~ So I applied minimal base coverage on Steph to ensure her natural skin shines through and only applied concealer where needed.

Steph naturally had brightly pigmented lips so I toned the redness down by brushing a thin layer of foundation then applied a rosy pink shade, topped with a dab of lip gloss. I used a bit of the same shade on her cheeks. The soft pink tones and hint of sheen on the lips adds a youthful essence to her beauty.

I wanted her eyes to have an innocent, almost ethereal look to them so I added a light champagne shade to the inner corners & on the brow bone. I kept the eyeshadow neutral, and focused on contouring the crease and slightly shaded the lower lash area with the same soft brown. I fanned the lashes outwards while applying the mascara top & bottom to emphasize the wide-eyed look. I used a powder shadow to fill in the brows so they look groomed but still quite natural. I altered the look for the campaign shots by adding a hint of gun metal grey smoked out & paled down the lips a touch…

We had a laid back day listening to 70’s funk records while shooting the look book portion ~ then kicked it in high gear for the campaign portion to utilize the dwindling sun light. Overall, a fun project showcasing beautiful, sophisticated fashion pieces.
