Cheryl

Cheryl is Maria's mom.  When we did the gear shoot, we took a couple pictures of Mom and Daughter together.

Her eyes were the focus so i used a brown liner with a rust shadow.  To open up her eyes a little more used quite a few coats of mascara.  Some mauve blush, bronzer and a mocha gloss.  

They looked gorgeous together!

Maria Natural

 This was a shoot that we did for a Motocross gear company.  We wanted maria to look like herself, just her natural features enhanced.  She has fabulous cheek bones so i made sure to use bronzer, blush and highlighter to make them stand out.  A bit of shadow, lashes and gloss and it's a wrap!

Maria Glamour

This makeup look was channeling Veronica Lake.  If you look at a picture of her next to Veronica,  it is a spitting image.  
We stepped it up a bit from her "natural look" and did the brown up to right above the lid.  Added a little bit of blush and red gloss.  

Gorgeous

Adrienne Channels Pam


In her lovely (cough cough) reality show, Pam Anderson had a cat eye with heavy liner and smokey black over top. We did a toned down version of it. Thick black liner lined her upper and lower lashes. On her inner rim we did a silver to pop. We did a grey smokey eye, with a light grey over the lid and a darker grey in the crease. I took a stif domed brush and went over the black liner with a Solid black shaddow to intensify it and make it into a cat eye. Since her eye was so dramtic there was no lip.

Adrienne




This is my firend Adrienne. She loves purple, I am pretty sure she always is wearing it somewhere in her ensamble. So we did a dramatic purple eye.




We smoothed out her compleion with a mineral makeup. Since she already has an olive complexion, so i used bronzer to sculpt her cheek bones, and added some pink blush to brighten it up. For her eyes, i used a vanilla highlighter under the brow bone and in the tearduct. I put black all over to intensify the purple glitter that was to go over top. I foiled it to make it more purple, and not look like loose glitter. I lined her eye with charcoal, and her inner rim with a waterproof bronze. Finished off with a little bit of gloss.

Jessica


This is Tori's older sister. She was going out this night with her boyfriend, so we did something a little more dramatic.

We did concealer to brighten up under her eyes and smooth out her complexion. Used a dark taupe-y gold as the main color. We used a dark green liner to define her lashes and bring out the hazel in her eyes. I used a raspberry blush and a matching gloss and lip liner. Ready to go out!

Tori


This is Theresa's daughter Tori. She is a a very bubbly and likes to have fun and dress up. She has a beautiful formal that is gold satin. We wanted to do her makeup to compliment her dress.

She has really big pretty brown eyes so we did a smokey brown eye with gold fleck. ( I wasn't used to the lighting, so it is harder to detect the actual vibrance of the colors.) On the lid, we did a pop of color with and orange, and a gold shimmer over the top. She has alot of long lashes so i used a primer as well as several layers of mascara. Finished with a gold gloss and she's done.

Sara


This is Sara. She is a very sweet girl that likes things low maintenance. We wanted her to have a very natural, polished look.
She has green eyes, so I used alot of browns, purples and golds to bring those hues out. We used a liquid bronzer to bring out her cheek bones, combined with a peach blush and gold highlighter. A little bit of gloss and she is good to go. Not too overdone but still very age appropriate and fresh faced.
