Hello all my friends and family,
Is been a long week and I do apologize for neglecting my blog page for so long. Just flew back from Hong Kong and I've been none stop working in a lot of freelance projects. One of them including the fabulous super sweet 16 birthday bash of my clients daughter Nicole.
It all took place at the Marriott JFK. I could feel the love as I walked into their hotel suite, all the girls (and boys excited, getting ready). The sounds of hair dryers and the commotion of beautiful 1920's style gowns and head pieces everywhere was fascinating. I mean, Dawn, Nicole's mother, really went all out for this.
Regardless all the excitement and running around to get ready, everyone was quite composed. I mean, there were a few times I felt like I was in a Scorsese film, but that's what happens when you are around fierce italian people. I LOVE IT!
So, like I said, the style of this mega 16 party was 1920's, burlesque, cabaret style, and the wardrobe, hair and make up was key for this look to be on point.
Bellow, please find some pictures of the unfinished look. I was not around to see them fully dressed and hair done, but you can get a glance at some of the make up I did. You will find I used a lot of color to create a smoky, sultry, yet playful effect. I chose color, because the outfits were in very neutral shades of black, whites, champagne and pearl. So I felt a little bit of color was necessary to dress up this fancy occasion.
I also feel that back in the 20's cabaret, there was a lot of color, but is hard to tell in pictures, because they are all in black and white.
As you can see, lashes are also crucial for this look to come together. Dont be afraid to go all out and get fancy lashes with lace, feathers, pearls, and diamonds to create this look. I bought these lashes for my client in Hong Kong. They have great make up stores there for less the price you will find here.
I used for the eyes, shades of blues, greens, purples, gold, silver, hot pinks and lots of glitter.
For the lips I chose shades of eggplant, burgundy reds, fire engine red, and hot pink.
Keep the eyebrows not to filled, but define the natural upper line of the brows. Technically, if I was to do a shoot and create this look, I would erase the eyebrows completely with make up or bleach them and then just pencil them in thin on the upper brow line, but the girls had school on Monday, and didnt want them to look crazy. LOL
For the blush rose pink is a great choice. And the complexion, I kept it a shade or 2 lighter then their own.
I had so much fun with the girls doing their make up. Cant wait to do another exciting party were the make up plays key to the role.
Bisous,
Julio
