Behind The Scenes: 29th May 2013 - "Night at the Whiskey Jar"

I did this photo shoot a long time ago (as you can tell from the date) but as usual I am not very consistent at blogging!

This was another shoot for the J'adore Vintage girls and this time it is totally opposite to the last one I showed you. 
The theme of the shoot was androgynous and we wanted it to show the progression of the model's night out, as the name suggests (kind of). It was shot in a bar in Manchester's Northern Quarter called  "The Whiskey Jar" and it's the perfect setting if I'm honest. 
If you are a fan of Britain and Ireland's next top model, then I'm sure you will recognise the model, her name is Jennifer Joint. 
We did 3 looks for this shoot along with 3 outfits. 


Look 1

This look is supposed to be the beginning of the night so it's very demure, with not much going on. 

On the skin, I used MAC's Face and Body Foundation all over, then for more coverage around the centre I used Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum . For concealer I used MAC studio finish concealer and the Bobbi Brown creamy concealer. 
This was finished with a dusting of MAC prep + prime translucent powder through the centre of the face. 
On her cheeks I didn't want any colour, so I just used MAC Harmony blush as a contour shade. 

When you think of androgynous, you think of heavy brows, so I just filled hers in with a bit of eyeshadow. To be honest her brows were pretty thick so I didn't need to use much. I also applied a tiny bit of highlight under the brow. 

On the lips I used Currant lip liner and Hang up lipstick, both from MAC. This went with the jacket pretty darn well! 



Look 2 

The second look is representative of the part of the night when you're the life and soul of the party, hence the musical instruments and sequins! 

For this simple, black smokey eye I started with the Bourjois Kohl liner all over the lid as a base and smudged into the water line. 
This liner is literally my FAVE kohl liner ever it is so good! 
Then on top, I applied Carbon from MAC and blended out. 

On the lips we took off the dark lip because we wanted something more fun so I used Cherry lip pencil from MAC and then topped it off with Bourjois Sweet Kiss Lipstick in Rouge Fashion. 













Look 3

The third and final look is basically exactly the same as the previous one. Except this time on the lid I applied a cream eyeshadow by NARS called Zardoz over the top of the shadow. 
 
It creases a lot, which normally is a nightmare, but for this part I wanted it to crease because this part of the shoot was about the end of the night when you've had too much to drink and can hardly move. 

It's not hugely visible on this image unless you zoom in, but I know it's there and that's all that counts! 

I think the cigar makes the image! 














This photo is the last one we took and I think it is my favourite. Don't ask me why because I have no idea, but I love it! (Lipstick is purposely smeared!) 
We love an empty bottle of Jack Daniels! 













And now for some behind the scenes.... 

sometimes trousers can me quite small for a model's sky high legs... they need a bit of assistance with shoe tying! 
A quick makeup snap before going on set!
