The "No Make-up" Make-up Look by Lisa Eldridge

I've often been asked to create 'natural' make-up looks which I love. Sometimes however, people seem to think this type of look is easy to do and does not need a great amount of products to achieve. This however isn't true as it still depends on each individual's skin type, skin tone, the occasion etc etc. Some make-up artists tend to put too much make-up even for this type of look. Lisa's video is a good example on how far one should go to create a naturally flawless no make-up look.

 

 

Products I normally use for my own skin to create this type of look :

Sothys moisturiser and serum

Make Up Forever/Nars/Smashbox Primer

Laura Mercier Secret Camourflage Concealer and Brightening powder

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation

Nars Bronzing Laguna Powder

Benefit Coralista Blush

Any lip/cheek stain or any cream blush i.e Benetint or Sephora

Smashbox Brow Tech

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

Magne-Plus Curl Volume Mascara

Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil Liner/ Any black liquid eyeliner

 

 

 

 

Old Age Make-up

These are examples of old age make-up you can achieve using old age stipple. It was a beauty shoot for a cosmetics company to show wrinkles on the face and not so much the ageing, hence I left the eyebrows and eye make-up as it was before the wrinkly make-up shots.

The tricky bit with old age stippling on young skin is the wrinkles won't be as obviuos. Stippling for old age is a process of stretching the skin and applying liquid latex. The skin needs to be stretched until the latex is dried and then powdered over, before the skin is released. This process can be repeated several times to achieve the desired wrinkle effects. The result will enhance the appearance of old age, although not so much on younger skin. In order to achieve proper old age skin effects a whole different process of old age prosthetics is used. This however can take several weeks as the model's face need to be casted and the cast will be filled with foam latex or sillicone which will be sculpted according to the character's age - think Benjamin Button. The prosthetics that are ready will then be applied using adhesives and then coloured with alcohol based make-up. Age spots, thinning hair, sunken eyes, sagging skin and old teeth are all part of making the prosthetics effects look as realistic as possible.

Photoshoot : Fallen Geisha

It was a drizzly morning at Taman Rimba Taman Tun Dr Ismail. We planned to start shoot by 8am as to avoid the sun, but it rained throughout the morning anyway. The theme was to shoot a dark and intense fallen geisha, so the weather was on our side although it started to rain a little heavier while i was doing Aliki's make-up. We ended up doing the make-up in my car and hoped the rain will not get any heavier.

The photographer Carol and her husband/assistant Julian directed the shoot and managed to capture some interesting shots. Overall, it was a good shoot in the rain..minus the mossie bites!

Here are some of the photos.
