behind the scenes: davines woman shoot 2011

Okay, I know it’s been what seems like an epic hiatus from blogging.  Many apologies for my absence. The summer has brought on many blog posting obstacles such as an overwhelming amount of bridal work, teaching, general summer shenanigans and a phenomenal photoshoot for the Davines Woman competition.

It’s no secret how much I love and respect all my colleagues and am always finding inspiration in their craft. It’s always a pleasure to have the opportunity to collaborate with them on a photoshoot and construct makeup looks that synergize with the beautiful hair they create. I wanted to share with you some of my favourite “behind the scenes” photos that I snapped in between contributing my makeup expertise on set.

And now for the final shots. I am so proud of these photos. The shoot was awesome and the energy was beyond fun.

I had the supreme pleasure of getting some fabulous beauty goodies from Marcelle Cosmetics to try out. I am very excited to play with their new lipsticks and liquid eyeliner pens that are in hues so perfect for the upcoming spring season. As you may have noticed, I love me some bright colours (on the eyes AND on the lips) so I thought I’d give myself a little spring flavour to get me geared for the upcoming balmy weather.
