Probably the very last collaboration in the studio at the house. Most of my equipment, wardrobe and props are all packed away, so today was a complete reliance on Sarah and Isha to pull off some really good work. We actually ended up doing 3 sets, but these two are my favorites. The third is not because I didn't like it, but because again, my stuff is packed away and I really didn't think I built a good enough set to show off the work of these ladies talents.

I had been toying with an idea to do some gold foil and black body paint for some time. I wasn't very confident in my abilities to do it myself and waited a very long time to find the right MUA but put it off. This Sunday, however, I decided to give it a try. It was my very first time attempting any kind of makeup. It started off with a smokey eye tutorial on YouTube, some black cake body paint, given to me by Natasha (a true MUA/Body painter), some dollar store gold foil flakes and gold glitter and a crimping iron for hair. Sarah was awesome enough to let me experiment and I think we were both pleasantly surprised that it came out so well. A second career? I think not, but it was a lot of fun trying.
