Fashion Editorial for Mandy Nandu

I remember the day I did this job, I had another evening appointment for Mimmie's wedding reception at Atlantis.
Needless to say, I was in a budget timezone. LOL!
Anyways this would be my 2nd time to makeover Mandy who happens to be one of my favourite models!
Here are her before & after pics with my touch :

Anyway to begin the story, Cassandra Patrick was in charge of this editorial shoot for Breeze's March issue and filled me up on the important details regarding the hair & makeup via email.

She said she wanted an elegant beauty look with golden highlight so I created Mandy's look below based on that.

For eyes I gave her a smoky bronze & gold eye finish using Duo Carat from KATE accentuated with heavy top lash & brown liner for the lower eyes.
The whole looks was kept luminous and sheer to give that golden glow.
Cheeks were blush with my latest buy from m.a.c - Mineralize skin degrade in Blonde which is of a beautiful pinkish highlighting texture.
Lips was then finished off with L'oreal's Glam Shine for that muted effect.

As for her hairdo, I was instructed to do an effortless but elegant look.
So I curled Mandy's locks with a curling thong and loosely gathered them into the back for that romantic feel.
Finally, a mist of hairspray to set the look.

Can't wait to see the results in Breeze coming out soon!!
