Hey Ilk - thoughts for this photo shoot thingy in Vegas -- scenario - black strapless ho dress, longer, slit up the sides, laces up the sides (actually its a nice dress but def not something to wear to church) - go glam. Suggestions for makeup? I need to hit the MAC counter I guess. But for what I'm going to guess is an outdoor photo shoot in the Vegas heat in July.
When I did my last show the makeup chick did sort of a green / blue eyeshadow, fake lashes , drew in more eyebrows + protan on me. For something dramatic, intense, but more glamorous than trashy -- suggestions? And is the MAC counter the place to go to get this stuff?
I"m kinda thinking of playing w/ this fake hair I have too - its one of those clip-on pony tail things that sort of looks like a 60s gogo girl ponytail -- so would either have long hair down or hair up. (And yes I'll get my highlights redone before ...)
Or do you have any suggestions for better fall pieces or maybe "how" to do any of that or a place I can go ask abotu it? I bought the fake hair at one of those booths they have in the mall where the Asian girls are selling the hair w/ the fancy crystal clips - it was like $200 worth of hair and anothe $100 worth of clips so its not a cheap fright wig.
LOL at ho dress!!
I see sexy, Smoky, Seductive eyes.... individual false lashes...
So, MAC... These are the colours you should look at for... Remember the MAC girls/guys are usually really nice, I'm sure they can show you how to do it too... Remember to ask them
Always even out the eye lids with oil-free foundation...
Then add a simple biscuit like shadow...
Then its the dramatic colours...

Shadowy lady -
Nocturnelle and
Folie..
Nocturnelle applied first... Softly, Don't over do it... Blend and use shadowy lady... on the outer corners... Quite intense and dramatic...
2 colours are enough on the lid... Folie would be great as an eyeliner... Wet the liner brush and place in Folie, Apply inside the bottom rim..

The look we want is similar to this

Keep the face simple, Contoured and fresh, Use a yellow based foundation so it evens out the skin and hides any redness... Lips... Use a soft raseberry/pinkish colour...
The Max Factor one I suggested for you would look fab! It isn't sticky either...
Hair... Does it have to be one look??
Can we have a look with your hair down and up?
I'd like one look for you to have it down, Straightened and then tonged... to add that soft curl...
Then you can have it up, pulled back, a few strands in front need to come down... The you can pin the hair extension in...
BUT, I'd suggest you go to a hairdresses... Ask them to style your hair if your not sure..... At least you'll have a better understanding...
I would like you to have it up.... With the extension in... Your face will be more out there and and it would be a different look for you too.. Very Glam...
I'll research the hair abit more... And post it later today....
The makeup will be easy.... Is this before Sally's show? If its after, I can show you how to do it....
