Just FACE-IT!
I recently had a shoot with a feminine body builder and it promised to be one of the most interesting shoots thus far. Before the shoot she had gone through my website and pretty much did not find a look she liked in my portfolio.
For photo shoots, makeup artists are usually advised of the look the photographer and/or model are looking for. In this occasion I was faced with the challenge of finding the perfect look for a feminine body builder whom did not find my work interesting. The entire day before the shoot I stressed looking for pictures of body builder’s makeup. She didn’t want a smokey-eye, that left me with beauty or glamour look, She wanted something that would make her look more like a model that a body builder, the thing here was, with their strong features, its hard not to go with simple beauty makeup for body builders.
I finally made it to this nerve wrecking shoot to find a body builder who had actually slimmed down and had normal looking facial features. I was so happy! This meant we could actually give her more makeup as she wanted. Of course we had to keep in mind that she was still a body builder and had to look as feminine as possible.
I had stressed so much and felt so unsure of myself when I learned she wasn’t excited about my portfolio. But I went forward to show that you do not have to like my previous work for me to deliver the perfect look for YOU. Just give me a visual of what you want and I’ll make it work for YOU, The shoot was a true success and she looked gorgeous!
Pics coming soon!
