GOLDEN GIRL
Round 2 w/ Ninethirtycreative:
Another creative shoot with this group and my first time working with this makeup artist (Karla.makeupartist). Overall it was great! Even though I was really exhausted from my work week, I always get an adrenaline rush when it comes to bringing out our imagination through the camera. ALWAYS YOUR PASSION AS YOUR ENERGY DRINK (and of course on top of your 4-shot Starbucks coffee). Plus, Geneieve was an amazing model to shoot with.
LOOK 1
- BUILDING TEXTURE. For airy curls, spray in MAXIMISTA roots to ends and blow dry the hair back and forth with using your hands. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH TENSION. Repeat steps until you have the desired texture.
- CURL SETTING. Section 1 inch sections starting from bottom to top and about 2 fingers width size. When you're using 1/4 INCH CURLING IRON, make sure you're switching directions with every other OUTTER BARREL CURL.
- REVAMP VOLUME. FACT: Whenever you place a hot tool on the hair after building texture it, it tends to flatten the volume out. SO... to REVAMP it, you have to put back in the texture and re-blowdry. A.K.A using my favorite-MAXIMISTA.
- SHAPE. Grab your paddle brush and shape the hair by lacing or backcombing to get your desired shape. As you go, don't be too shy with THICK HAIRSPRAY by oribe to add in "texture, shine and hold".
- TIP: To give extra love for the "natural looking volume", grab your backcombing brush and rub right onto the scalp. IT VAMPS THE HAIR EVEN MORE and its the PERFECT technique for re-fluffing throughout the shoot.
- FINISHING TOUCH. A little dab of BRILLIANTINE to piece out the ends to give more of a PIECEY EFFECT.
LOOK 2:
- ***For the second outfit, I just tucked in the hair in the bathing suit top. Sometimes clothes can be your GO-TO HAIRSTYLE.
