:: SMASHBOX Cosmetics

I wanted my model to look strong and in charge, so it was natural that many of my Go-to products came from Smashbox Cosmetics ::  Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder, In Bloom Eye Shadow Palette, Soft Effects  Powder Eye liner, In Bloom Artificial Light Powder, Full Exposure Mascara, Halo Hydration Perfecting Bronzer, Brow Tech Trio, Double Take lip color in Amaretto, Photo Finish Lip Stick in Ledgendary

:: BURBERRY BEAUTY ::

A Classic Hollywood-esque look was a natural fit for this story, and the products from Burberry Beauty gave me the right velvety textures to this ::  Sheer Foundation in Trench, No.1 & 4, Compact powder in Trench  No.1, Sheer Eye Shadow in Trench Porcelain, No. 2, Gold Trench , No. 4 and Taupe Brown, No. 7, Light Glow Natural Blush in Earthy Blush, No. 7, Effortless Mascara in Midnight Black, No. 1, Lip Definer Shaping Pencil in Brick Red No. 5 and ‘Lip Mist’ Natural Sheer Lipstick in Rosy Red, No. 5.

:: BENEFIT Cosmetics ::

For me, BENEFIT Cosmentics evoke a sexy,  sassy, take-no-prisoners kind of gal so for this image I used Creaseless Cream Eye Shadow/ Liner in Butter Cream, Venetian Brown and Pretty Pewter,  BADgal  Pencil, Rush hour Instant makeup for lips and cheeks, Powder Blush in Dallas, to create this smoldering hot look.

:: TARTE Cosmetics ::

TARTE cosmetics has some great eye shadow palettes that offer fantastic textures and shades that  will allow for a plethora of makeup looks. For this shot I used :: The Eraser 4 in 1 Natural Concealer in Golden Bisque, Neutral Eye Palette, TEN Eye Palette, Lip Surgence Lip Tint in Peaceful and Glisten, Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Flush, Celebutante Moisturizing Dry oil Spray
