Test Shots Inspiration: Make-up

For my test shots, I will take shots of my models wearing both of the following techniques; the smokey eyes and the lipstick. This will allow me to have a good idea of what it will look like on my final magazine. However, it might look too much, and end up looking too 'over the top'. So I will ensure that I take photos of my models with just the lipstick on and then take some other shots of them with just the eyshadow on. This will enable me to be able to compare them and decide which idea looks best for my final magazine. By doing this, ensures that I will achieve the best look possible for my final shots.

For my magazine, I want my models to base their make-up on the colour that they are wearing. I want to achieve a smokey eyed look similar to this picture. I like how the eyeshadow is used under the eye, as well as on the top as I think this brings out the eyes, and also brings out the shape. I also like how the black eyeliner is around the top and bottom of the eyes as well as it adds to the shape and brings outs the eyes even more than if it was just eyeshadow. This has inspired me to create an effect like this on my models, of which I all want them to have the same technique so that they all match, but just different colours.

I also thought of the idea of my models using lipstick. As I want to base my models make-up on the colour that they are wearing, I would like them to have the same colour lipstick as their clothing that they are wearing. By using bright coloured lipstick, it will achieve an unusual image which will make it stand out. I think this will look very interesting and effective.

I also want my models to wear bright coloured nail polish as part of their make-up. Again, I want them to wear there own individual colour. This has inspired me by giving me the idea that I could use this to do shots involving their hands to show off their nails. I think this would look rather effective.
