Behind the Scenes - May 18th 2013

I have decided to start doing these posts where I can show you what goes on behind the scenes of photoshoots I've been doing at the moment. I will show you what products I used too....

Photographer: Leah Henson


So, I did a photoshoot for a shop in my village called J'adore Vintage. They are an amazing little boutique-y vintage shop. The have a website too where you can get some amaaaazing clothes (yes the overuse of 'a' was necessary!)

We shot this in a local park. It was supposed to be a retro summer shoot, but of course, it was raining. I think we still made it work though!

The look the stylist wanted was retro, but not a obvious retro if you get what I mean, kind of a 'white trash retro'. So we went for a classic flick and a bright pink lip.

On the girls I used the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation, along with Mac's Studio Finish concealer to get the perfect base, to contour I used the Bourjois chocolate bronzer and a little bit of MAC's Harmony blush.

On the eyes, I used MAC's paintpot in Bare Study all over the lid which is a gorgeous champagne shade. I then went over it with a bit of MAC's Ricepaper and Urban Decay's Virgin (from the Naked Palette)
Then, using the Naked Palette again, I applied Naked and Buff into the crease and blended it out.

The liner I used was Blacktrack by MAC (I love it when things rhyme!) using an angled brush.
On brows, I just brushed them through with a bit of eyeshadow - nothing major as they both had great brows.


On Sammi (blonde) for her lips, I used a Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick, I can't remember the name, but it's a reddish pink. And on Carmen, I used Lustering from MAC.

And that is pretty much it!

Some behind the scenes now...

Unfortunately I only have one photo from behind the scenes of this shoot, but here it is.
Sometimes, you have to do things to make shoots look more beautiful, especially if the weather is crap! So here is Sam, the stylist and owner of Jadore Vintage, hitting a blossom tree with an umbrella to make it fall.
