MAKEUP: Behind The Scenes at FILA

This past shoot I worked with models Julie “JAWS” Nelson and Lauren Berlingeri.  Both incredible, smart, strong and, of course, extremely fit and stunning women.

For both Lauren and Julie I used AJ Crimson’s Foundation and applied it with a Beauty Blender.  These two products together really give a stunning flawless affect.  Generally on my fitness shoots, I use cream blushes.  It gives a perfect sheen without being too shiny and lays beautifully on a cream foundation.

On Julie’s eyes I used MAC’s Mac EyeshadowX9 Amber times 9 and Mac EyeshadowX9 Burgundy times 9.  The burgundy colors really made her blue eyes pop, but weren’t so intense that it looked too heavy for a workout.  I also used Kiss EZ lashes Trio.  These have become my go-to lash.  They are bundles of individual lashes that comes together perfectly.  Sometimes strip lashes are just too much and the strip just doesn’t work on everyone’s lash line, so, I find that these lashes are perfect.  They fit beautifully between the last and the lid and look absolutely flawless.

For Lauren, I used Charlotte Tilbury’s Eyes To Mesmerise in Jean and then contoured her crease with a taupe.  I lined only her top lash line – it is a fitness shoot – with the YSL Effet Faux Cils Felt-Tip liner which it such a favorite and then added the same type of lashes as Julie.

I used MAC’s powder blush in Pinch O’ Peach.

I used, only, Rosebud Salve on Julie’s lips, while for Lauren I used IT Cosmetics CC+ Lip Serum in Laugh.

So there you have it, a quick BTS of beauty on one of my FILA shoots.  There will definitely be more to come, so enjoy…
