Yesterday I did a shoot with Photographer Eric Rose http://www.filmesque.com, fellow Makeup Artist, Claudine Ebel http://www.ebelartistry.com, and hair stylist, Kristen Behlings.  We had three beautiful models and clothes, jewelry and hats from Alexandra's Boutique.  It was a vintage-inspired shoot to showcase our makeup looks that will be featured at a Jane Iredale Cosmetics event on Monday.  

Claudine and I had so much fun picking out the outfits an accessories with Alexandra in her amazing vintage boutique in North Portland.  She has such a beautiful array of dresses, bridal gowns, furs, and shoes.  The walls are flanked with brightly colored hats and dripping with necklaces.  I could spend a whole week in there trying stuff on!  

At the shoot, we played with the vintage looks and coming up with makeup looks that would be appealing to bridal clientele and look gorgeous in print.  I used the latest cover of W magazine with Drew Barrymore as inspiration for the look I created for our bride, Caitlin.  Candice has a beautifully curvy figure that fit perfectly in our more 50's style dresses.  The amazing makeup in AMC's Mad Men inspired us to create a heavily lined eye with strong red lips.  Hailey was our young model who looked amazing in the pink satin gown with the mink stole.  The picture above is Hailey evoking Twiggy in a fantastic hat.  Eric chose a picture of Sophia Loren as the inspiration for her dark eyes.  

I had such a blast working with everyone to create these beautiful looks and more pictures will be up soon.
