she glows

here's a couple of pics from the last TFP shoot I did.  The model requested makeup and hair for her pregnancy shoot.  I love pregnancy shoots and despite people saying that the pics won't be useful for a portfolio, I disagree, she is beautiful and anyone should be proud to have a glowing, soon-to-be mother in their port.

Some makeup inspired by Alice In Wonderland.  This is me bored on a Sunday afternoon!  My face hurts haha.

I can't wait to see the new movie!  Tim Burton is sure not to dissapoint.

I'm on a boat!

yep that's right people, I'm on a mother freakin boat.  Well not yet, but tomorrow I will be on a Cruise Ship, taking a short cruise to get away for a couple of days.  I've never been on a cruise before and never really had the desire too, 3 cheers for spontaneity!  As the time nears to get out of here though, I'm getting excited.  It has 11 decks and 9 bars, it's a huge bitch.  I'll be taking plenty of happy snaps so expect to see them on here soon.

carpark love

Here's a couple of the photos from the TFP shoot I did a couple of weeks ago.  It was a great way to spend a Sunday Arvo.  Loved the dreary, wet day, set the mood well.  We shot in a very old carpark, it was cool!

Yaby dabba doo

I dont see enough hype about Yaby here on the net so thought I'd show you me featuring the Yaby cream foundations, and of course using my best of both worlds palette.

The cream foundation is very thick and a little goes along way, really and truly you want to use it as sparingly as possible.  I have no concealer or powders on here as I found I  didn't need it with this foundation, it is full on, let me say though it doesn't feel heavy on the skin at all.  Great for photographic work and the palettes are so cute & kit friendly.

I had to add this pic, my cat Mushroom looks friggin hilarious here! hahaha

just breathe

I am not blogging nearly enough at the moment, not as much as I want to anyway.  I have some stuff going on,  some good, some bad.
I have been trying to network so I can have a portfolio started.  This started out a bit rough, with  one photographer organising 2 shoots with me, both of which fell through, due to his scatterbrained, poor planning.  Thankfully he has gone back to the States so I don't have to worry about him again.
The Good news is that I have really started networking with Photographers and Models on Model Mayhem.  I have 2 shoots lined up this week, which is exciting!  Can't wait to get the pics back and post them up.
I have a great friend who is a fantastic hairdresser and we are trying to get shoots together, to do the whole hair/makeup team thing, which will be fun. 
Some shitty personal stuff is going down at the moment.  I hope and pray that it all works out.  Staying positive is such a hard thing to do sometimes.

eyes open

Building a makeup kit is expensive, but there are some products out there that are pretty darn good that don't cost you an arm and a leg.

I have a sweet range of Rimmel London eyeliners and lipliners which have great pigment are long lasting and very well priced, especially if you get them on sale! 

Here are some of my most recent colours I have purchased in the Soft Kohl:

Royal Blue, Stormy Grey, Sable Brown & Jungle Green

and Exaggerate waterproof eye definers in: Deep Ocean, Precious Gold & Deep Wine

Here's a look I quickly did to show you with the Deep Wine & Precious Gold liners with my Yaby best of both worlds pallette. Pics taken with my phone, so not the best :)
