Behind the scenes pics from today's shoot

I love this huge doll Asli had made for the shoot, we called him Big Willy

Me and Big Willy

One of the designers had to stand in background holding up Big Willy's head with a stick

Asli had giant needles and thread made as props for the set

How to...

Step by Step guide on how to re-create the look a did for today's shoot

The make-up is not exactly true to colour on this pic (it was taken on my iphone) but I hope you get the idea anyway.

EYES
1. Use a light reflective shade over the entire lid (I used 'naked lunch' by Mac) concentrating on the inner corner and the brow bone
2. Then use a purply/pinky shade like 'cranberry' by Mac into the socket but bring it up quite high and far into the upper inner corner
3. Rim the eyes with a bronzy kohl pencil (I used 'brown copper' by Laura Mercier)
4. Then work the cranberry shade into the lower and upper lash, smoking in the kohl pencil
5. Add the light shade on the middle of the eyelid and blend in.  And finish off the look with loads of black mascara
SKIN
1. In the winter it's advised to prep the skin with a hydrating primer, (I used Garnier BB cream). And Chloe was recovering from a cold so I buffed in Emma Hardie's Moringa Balm to get rid of dry skin around her nose
2. Use a full coverage hydrating foundation (I used Mac's full cover)
3. To highlight the skin buff in a highlighting cream (I used 'AMC face & body illuminator'  in no 63 by Inglot) on the cheekbones, down the centre of the nose, and on the cupid's bow
4.  For blusher, use a slightly peachy tone (I think the shade I used was 'springsheen' by Mac)
LIPS
1. Use a nude shade to suit your colour, on Chloe I used a lipgloss from Lipstick Queen called infinate
VOILA!!
