Photoshoot: Maria @ Boss

So, I've been keeping busy with lots of fantastic test shoots recently! The first came a few weeks ago with The Full Frame Photography. We had been wanting to shoot for a while and finally got together to shoot the beautiful Maria at his studio in Birmingham.

 

Maria needed some lingerie shots for her book and we had the opportunity to get a few beauty portraits too. The Photographer wanted to keep the makeup quite clean and natural, so I kept the colours neutral and let her beautiful skin and freckles shine through. Maria has such big, doe-like eyes so I left her lids clean, with just a little contour in the crease, and smoked an inky black liner underneath her lashes for definition. Her plump lips were prepped well and left free of liner to keep the look fresh, pressing a little Creme Cup by MAC onto the lips and highlighting the cupid's bow. Body make-up was also applied for the lingerie shots to perfect the skintone and add a natural glow.

My hero products for this shoot:

• Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil in Zero
• Nars The Multiple in Copacabana
• Benefit Bathina Body Balm

Maria has the perfect face for make-up with the most incredible features and was a total dream to work with. I think these shots are beautiful and hope to work with the fantastic team again.
