Having your first photoshoot assignment can be very daunting. The intimidating studio. The stereotypical bitchy models. The pressure to have your make up just perfect. The demanding stylist. The super sharp-eyes photographer that's ready to pinpoint your every mistake. A lot can go wrong.. or can it?
- I believe good preparation is the key. Have them send you their reference looks and concept, and openly discuss with the stylist before, during even after the make up is done. You're bound to have changes on the spot, and you just have to be ready for it. The good news is, sometimes changes can be good, especially when they like what you do to improve their concept.
- Have a professional attitude always, come on time or earlier even.
- Have a good set of makeup remover wipes. When you're rushing, this can be your lifesaver to save time..!
- Always bring a clean set of tools, whether that is your brush or sponges. I just think dirty messy tools scream lazy and unhygienic. You'll win points with the model and the stylist.
- Bring extra.. of everything. Extra brush, extra cotton buds, extra lashes, extra glue, extra whatever.
- Don't be surprised if your makeup look so different behind the lens. As we all know, lighting will affect how your makeup will turn out to be like. So don't panic, take it easy, just have your touch up tools ready at all times.
- Last but not least, be confident and just relax and have fun... It's not as daunting as you think :)
What? Hairstylist didn't show up? No worries, let's just do some simple hair styling updo..
Me with Cata that was having a major tummy ache that day, so instead of forcing her to sit through the gruelling hours, why not offer my lap and let her catch some sleep?
All done with Cata looking fierce and fabulous after her nap :)
