Yesterday I had the pleasure of doing this gorgeous girl's Senior Prom makeup! Meet Sydney, she is stunning without an ounce of makeup on but it's always fun for me to glam up beautiful faces for a special occasion and she was so fun to work with :) Sydney asked for a smokey eye but didn't want to look too done up so she trusted me to create something in between heavy glam and natural. We decided on a neutral smokey look, with mostly cooler tones for her big night and because it was a night full of photos and dancing and fun, we added lashes and a flawless bronzed airbrush base.
She is such a sweetheart!
For her look, I used many of the same holy grail staples I use on other clients, so for the sake of repetition, I'm not going to link them all once again but feel free to ask about any specific products used and I will happily list them!
The focus of Sydney's look was on her perfect skin which we highlighted with a layer of Dinair Colair|Radiance Airbrush Foundation. I customized her color to add a little bronzey/tan warmth to her complexion so her face matched the rest of her body. I mixed the colors: C117, C125 and Golden Tan. We added a little bronzer and contour to add definition back into her face and gave her cheeks a youthful blush by mixing Benefit's "CORALista" and "Dandelion". To add a little sparkle and glow to catch the light, we dusted MAC's Mineralized Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle on the tops of her cheekbones and along the bridge of her nose and cupids bow.
For her eyes, I used the Lorac MegaPro Palette because I'm obsessed with it. Haha! I love Lorac's shadows, their pigmentation and wear are lovely. I also used Urban Decay's "Dark Horse" as her outer V/Crease color. This added a touch of drama for her desired "smokey eye" but didn't darken the overall look too much. If requested, I can list every shadow used :) To make her eyes pop from a distance and in photos, we added some false lashes - I used the KISS 11's (one of my favorite demi wispie styles)
How beautiful does her skin look! I'm in love with the glowing, youthful finish Airbrush gives. Everything else about her look was simple and natural, as I wanted her to feel like herself - so we left her eyebrows natural with only a little shadow to fill in sparse areas and added some of NYX's Butter Gloss (my all time favorite!) in Eclair and Fortune Cookie.
So happy I could be a part of helping her feel extra beautiful on her special night!
