Tonight I was able to use some of my creativity at a makeup session. My client, Kat, called me last week to see if I would be able to give her a Phantom of the Opera look for a black and white party she was attending. Now, I have to admit, I was a little nervous, b/c I typically only do makeup for traditional things like weddings, fashion shoots, photo sessions, etc. This was totally a new thing for me, but what the heck, I took the challenge.
So for the next few days, I looked online and did some research on what these masks looked like. I picked out some of the best masks I could find and I showed them to her. We narrowed them down to one look which incorporated a little bit of sheen and silver. She also decided she didn't want a traditional half mask like the typical "opera" style mask. We did an updated version with some rhinestones by the eye. It turned out great, and she really liked it.
