Kjerstin Makeup

beforeandafter_Doing makeup on someone with colorful hair like this made me have to think a little bit (heaven forbid right!? 😛 ) Like hmmm, do I need to do brighter makeup so her hair doesn’t take all the attention away from her pretty features? Or do I do lighter makeup so things aren’t competing? After a couple of adjustments and finding out the location of the photo shoot, I decided that a gunmetal-neutral toned smokey eye and slight pop of color on the lips would be a good balance.

    Yes, please keep doing lists! They are so helpful! It makes it easier to figure out which product goes where, and how it should be applied. 🙂

    Hey Vivian 🙂 Love this look! The makeup looks so natural but still shows off all her features. Thanks for posting!

    Wow! You did a great job!
    I agree the lists are good. But I’d love some actual direction on how you did what you did. Bc usually I find myself wanting to see the list when I see a technique done and I think, “Wow. I like that. I think I can do that.” Then I go look at a list. A list without teaching is less useful. However, I can see for other makeup artists that already know what you did, that it would be helpful. 🙂

      I believe she just had her hair dresser use a semi-permanent dye. It’s awesome huh!?
