I created this series of black and white photos with one of my favourite photographers: Adam Hendrik (www.adamhendrik.com) The models- Sasha and Gabriela from NEXT Model Mgmt) were stunning as ever and I am so happy with the way this shoot turned out. The look i created was less than perfect but still polished, and all about a style of beauty that you see in the pages of European Vogue… natural, lots of movement, minimal retouching and never overdone. I contoured the model’s skin to bring out the beautiful angles in their faces and added glossy highlights to reflect light in all the right places. I used different textures of black to line and define the eyes. The hair was in toussled waves with strategic tangles, braids, and twists. I hope you enjoy these shots as much as I loved working with this team.

I worked with wonderful photographer Daryl Banks (www.darylbanks.com) and lovely models Masha (from NAM Model Mgmt) to create these looks.
I couldn’t help but create a contrast between Masha’s beautiful porcelain skin and the dramatic polished look.
The makeup is well defined and very smokey. We kept this young and fresh by leaving her bun a bit tossled and soft. Not always wearable – but always stunningly gorgeous. She was a joy to makeover.

Before working on the series of TULLE images, I created a really natural beauty look on models Kelleth, and Vlada (From Elite) . Again with the help of Kira at www.LynxKarma.com as the photographer, I think we achieved a stunning finish. This is what i call a “bumped-up” beauty… in other words, the “no makeup, makeup look” I focused the attention on their eyes and letting their skin glow. Enjoy!

I worked with a wonderful group of people to create this collection of images, and it’s one of my most favourite collections. The makeup and hair was executed by myself. Kira Bucca, the photographer did an amazing job of capturing this look and achieving perfect lighting. The models, Vlada and Kelleth were wonderful and I couldn’t have asked for a better canvas for my work. I wanted this shoot to be all about watercoloured pastel shades and a fresh spring beauty – the tulle added a bit of unique interest – I hope you enjoy it!
