Dewy editorial make-up
From enjoying experimenting with heavier make-up, especially on the eyes, I decided to explore eye make-up further but in a studio setting as editorial make-up and studio photography have always been great interests of mine from the many years of reading fashion spreads such as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and Vanity Fair and though my studies of studio photographers in my Photography A level course.
For this look I created a look that aimed to draw most attention to the eyes as I think that the eyes are the most important part of the face as it is here that most true expression is shown. I chose to go for a bold eyeliner look but to keep with my previous smokey eye look I blended the eye make-up out to give a more hazy appearance to the look, also I chose to really go to town with the highlighter as I felt that my last look with lacking in this department and I personally love the look of dewy skin in studio portraits as the flash of the studio really makes the highlight pop.
Steps
I began by ensuring that my model's skin was moisturized and had a primer applied to it, to create a smooth canvas for the make-up to lay on because I was going to use a heavier coverage foundation on the model's skin as I would be shooting this look in a studio and I wanted her skin to appear flawless.
Once this was done I applied a mixture of a high coverage foundation and some lighten drops to her face to create a flawless base, I used lightening drops as the foundation that I was using was slightly too dark and this would have been really prevalent in the studio lighting.
Then using a illuminating concealer I concealed my model's under eye circles and added a slight highlight her face at the same time, I also used this concealer to cover up my model's blemishes on her chin and forehead.
I then applied a generous amount of colour correction powder to my model's face, focusing on her t zone to set the foundation and concealer into place and creating a matte look as this works best with studio photography.
