Cara… For The Pin Up in You

Getting Cara ready for her boudoir session with Studio Julie was so much fun. She was all about being a pin up, I was in heaven.

When she arrived at the studio I put her in hot rollers, then proceeded to airbrush the foundation.
For the eyes, I brushed all over the lids a Yabi pearly white eye shadow.
In the crease, I used MAC espresso and a tad of Paradiso to warm it up slightly. Go light on the crease you don’t want to see too much color just some definition.
I lined the eyes with MAC penultimate in black (I love that liquid liner – review coming soon) and extended the line to attain a winged up tip. I dabbed a black powder over the liquid liner to smooth out any imperfections.
For the bottom, I used the same black shadow.
I placed some false eyelashes and a light coat of mascara, filled Cara’s brow with a dark brown powder; I would have preferred to make them stronger, but I think it would have been too much for her — this was a nice compromise. On the cheeks I swiped a very light pink .

I first lined then filled her entire lips with Make Up Forever Aqua Lip Waterproof Lipliner Pencil in 8C, followed by Make Up Forever lipstick in Hollywood Red 206.
