Last June, I was lucky enough to spend a day with a really, really ridiculously good-looking crew of kids, while working with a very talented team from the Baltimore area. The end result is "Back To Cool" - a children's fall fashion editorial inspired by a long day at the office. Shooting with these kids was awesome. They had a long day of work with no naps, and stayed totally professional on location!
I am sure you are wondering, what does a makeup artist do with kids who already have dewy skin and perfect complexions? We shot these photos in the dead of summer, and this was a bunch of basketball-playing, horseback-riding, rope-jumping, ACTIVE children. Active kids get sunburn, mosquito bites, scrapes, bruises, and boo-boos. I used Cinema Secrets concealer on all of the above. I used Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream to soften flaky skin and add a healthy sheen to dry areas. The little ladies on the set all seemed to really enjoy the lip gloss I chose for that day. Urban Decay Lip Love (in Drizzle) is a honey-infused lip therapy that is cruelty-free and vegan. I've been told that it is also quite delicious.
This editorial was printed in Maryland Family Magazine and you can see it online on BaltimoreSun.com. Check it out, if you can handle the cute. Here I am behind the scenes, reapplying sweet tasty lipgloss to my gorgeous model, Hayden, for the 90th time. Rough day at the office... (Not at all!)
