Makeup & Hair - Independent Fashion Shoot - Prep

After researching five different fashion magazines, we chose one to recreate in our formative assessment. 

Please see past posts for in-depth research into each of these magazines but just to give the general concept, you can refer to these mini mood boards:

SS/15 Hair Trends

SS/15 Makeup Trends

I chose to create a look that focused on fresh dewy skin with a bright lip. As warm lip colours were so prolific this season on the catwalk, I chose red but to make extra current chose a neon red. Inspired by the recent Frydor & Golan catwalk show, I decided to carry this colour up to the eye with a neon red mascara look for the makeup with two waterfall plaits at the front of one side of the face for hair.
