Powdering: Erica Mena

Can you tell that Erica Mena loves to be primped?
You know it's going to be a sexy shoot if Albee Johnson is styling it.. add Sonia Castleberry on hair, and me, Lydia Martin on face and you've got all the beauty fetishes covered. This shoot for Erica Mena was a breath of fresh air. She was open to trying edgy looks and once the camera was on.. she brought it. Even in a nauseating pose (like this one), with blood rushing to her temples!

Need I even mention the tricks, the Photographer Jose Guerra whipped out to pull off the perfect shots.

Erica wanted something edgy, we opted against a black lip or a deep dark plum.. been there done that. right? So I dug into my trustee, don't leave home with out'em pigments and turned the powder to paint for this vampy underworld look.

The deep tarnish stained lip was created with MAC Cosmetics Pigment: Forest Green and Clear Lip Glass.
A heavy contour to warm it up with MAC's Deep Dark Mineralize Skinfinish and N9
and I added a little bit of MAC's Rule eye shadow to the inner corners of the eyes, to balance out the look with the green lip.


I'll update soon with the other looks and how I transitioned them. Plus more on multi tasking products and why I need them in my life!
