Halloween Photoshoot - Sexy Devil

Finally I am getting around to posting the photos from the Halloween shoot I did.  I had to take a break from blogging.  Somehow I managed to get sick, not my kids, that is still trailing over from last week.  I was in NO shape to do anything but take care of kids and sleep! 

Arielle Jones, a model from Sacramento CA, posed for this Sexy Devil look.  She was a lot of fun to work with and has a ton of ambitions and amazing skin. 

Ariana Grimm from Silver Dasies Photography was our talented photograper!  She was so easy to work with and hopefully we will have some more projects together soon!  Check out her work at http://www.silverdaisiesstudios.com/!

Sexy Devil Run Thru

Hi Everyone!  As you know I have a big photoshoot coming up this next weekend that features Halloween costumes.  So I thought I would share with you my ideas to inspire your own looks for this Halloween!  Tonight I did the Sexy Devil run thru.  Tomorrow I will post something else.  Enjoy!

1.  Use MAC's Painterly Paint pot all over the lid and brow bone with a medium dense brush. 
2.  Draw you "v:" with a matte black color and go into the crease about half way. 
3.  Use an irredencent white in the inner eye and blend upwards and onto the brow bone.
4.  Use a matte red color on the center of the eye with a dense medium shadow brush.  Do not sweep.  Pat it in and press.  This way the color won't flick everywhere.
5.  Now on top of the red add an irredecent red over.
6.  I used all the eyeshadow colors from several Costal Scents pallettes.
7.  Now add MAC's Black Gel eyeliner along the top lash line and fan out for a cat like shape.  Bring is to the bottom of the lash line and go almost all the way.
8.  Get a regular pencil eyeliner in black and line the water line on the top and bottom to really black it out.  Add some black eyeshadow to that lash line and connect the "v'.  Softly blend your eyeshadows together.
9.  Clean up you loose powder on your face and move on to applying your concealer and foundation.
10.  Add your blush.  I used a color from Costal Scents again that was in the pallette that had the black and matte red.  I kept the color on the Pinky side to stay within the color tones of the red in the eye.
11. Set foundation with powder and touch up blush as needed. 
12.  I also did a bit of contouring in the cheek and nose area to look more hard.
13.  Buff that out to blend with your blush.
14.  Add a bit of MAC mineralize skin finish in Soft and Gentle.
15.  Add a very volumizing mascara and add full fake lashes.
16.  Lips needed to stay in the same color family as the red you used.  I used MAC's Brick liner, NYX diamond lipgloss in Red and LA colors glitter gloss. 
17.  Oops!  I amost forgot!  The Glitter!  Mix some of the irredecent red eyeshadow using a dense med eyeshadow brush and mix it with NYX cream glitter pallette in the white.  Pat it on each eye and keep applying untill you get the desired effect!

And there you have it!
