Advert Day Look Practice

Unfortunately today's shoot for my eye shadow advert look was a complete failure.

The eye shadow advert was my second shoot today and the makeup actually didn't look too bad after I applied it but after looking at the images I realized that those colours first of all didn't suit my model at all and secondly the skin tone was supposed to be very pale, even though my model was already pale, it was not the skin tone I had in mind. It was first quite frustrating that it didn't work out but then again it's also good because I learned from it as well. I learned that I show more consideration when designing a look and choosing a model. Because like here, not all of the colours suit everybody. Also if I would have done a practice of the makeup on the actual model I probably would have noticed earlier that my colour scheme doesn't go with her but then again as my model is from London and was busy with her projects for her final year I didn't have the chance to test my designs on her. Therefore I am treating this shoot now as a practice shoot and know now exactly what I need to change for my design to work. First of all I need to change the model and get someone who is very pale and I actually already have someone in mind. But I also need to look for a different yellow eye shadow as I wasn't happy with the outcome of the yellow on camera. Or maybe I just have to apply this yellow eye shadow with water to make the colour more intense.

Here are some images of the shoot.

As you can see the yellow is not really showing up and yes the colours are not very flattering on her skin. Another thing I didn't like was actually the straight hair. For this specific look I wanted straight hair but my models hair is actually naturally curly and yes the straight also didn't suit her. So maybe I should overthink my hair idea as well
