Powder Star!

These are the photo's of a shoot that I did a while ago...

I love the softness of the skin in these photo's, and also how you can see the structure of the powder. Doesn't she look amazingly beautiful?

Big Improvisation Shoot!

A couple of weeks ago I had a shoot that was supposed to be themed 'Modern Barber Shop'. The photographer I was going to work with, was Daisy van Knotsenburg, a great lady who I've worked with a couple of times, and who I love to work with. Her idea of this photoshoot, which was free work for all the participants, was to use the hairdresser's saloon as a theme for the shoot. This hairdresser's had a bright pink wall. So we were going to do a shoot with many bright colors, in the styling, the make-up and the whole atmosphere. Unfortunately this hairdresser's had a leakage the night before, and half of the floor was flooded! All of a sudden we had to change plans, and this became a big improvisation shoot. We went to Daisy's house, and used her place as location for the shoot. I still like the results a lot!

What do you think?

Publication of my Work!

Wooehoooeee! As you might know, I work as a make-up artist. In December last year, I worked together with a great team, and our aim was to get a publication in a magazine. And so we did! Our photo's are in this month's issue of En Vie Fashion Magazine. We are all very happy! In this post you can see some photo's of this serie. The publication itself you can find at my Facebook-page.

My day is Friday

On September 7 I was featured on Tatiana Kontouli's blog My day is Friday!

Please take a look!

Quiero! op Lowlands 2012

Last weekend (17, 18 + 19 August) I was on a big three-day festival in the Netherlands; Lowlands. I wasn't there as a normal visitor, but I was there with a market stall on the so-called Etsy Bazaar to sell Quiero! jewelry (my brand) & to put some nice neon & glitter festival make-up on the party people! I shared the stall with Nicole Sies from Studio BIG. She makes beautiful felt phonecovers, and especially for Lowlands she also made some little bags and some bracelets and necklaces.

Me & my colleague Nicole @ our stall at the Etsy Bazaar @ Lowlands!

Photo's of a few festival make-ups I did. For more photo's click here.

Nicole & I had met only a few times before Lowlands, so I found it quite exciting, but all went well. We got along very well, and also we helped out each other's customers. I am very thankful that I could do this together with Nicole!

It was very hot during Lowlands festival, especially on Saturday & Sunday (30+ degrees Celcius). Everyone was looking for some shadow. Underneath our Etsy 'tent' there was shadow and also the wind could blow through it (íf it blew), so according to a lot of visitors we were lucky to be underneath the tent (and they joined us).

Green & Pink Make-Up Idea!

New things (like haircuts, haircolors, clothing, jewelry, make-up) always inspire me to experiment. Also the hair. In my previous post you could read about my Dip & Dye. So I tried a new make-up matching my hair and the top I was wearing (which had a green print). It's a simple make-up, but still a it'll catch people's eyes!

On the bottom eyelid I drew a line with metallic green eye pencil (Kiko Glamourous Eye Pencil no. 412). This line I fixed with eyeshadow (MAC Steamy Frost), to make it stay on all day.

Kohl always needs to be fixed with an eyeshadow. Actually all make-up products that are a bit greasy, need to be fixed with a powder, to make them stay on all day. That's also one of the reasons that you need to put powder on top of your foundation.

This eye pencil is not so greasy, so it doesn't really need fixing, however I like to do it because this eyeshadow makes the green more intense. I also drew a line on the inside of my bottom eyelid, which I didn't fix with eyeshadow for obvious reasons. On the top eyelid I drew pink line from the outer corner until about halfway the lid, this I did lip pencil (Kiko Lip Pencil no. 204) ;) Of course this isn't meant to use on the eyes, but it worked anyway. On top of this line and on the outer corner of my eyes I put some pink/purple-ish glitter. Some mascare, and done!

Fantasy make-up

Thanks for all the replies on my post of June 20! It really helped me out. Thought you would be curious to see the result! :)
