Bay Berger (Ford Models) by Nicole Hill

Bay Berger from Ford Models joined us at Griffith Park for a Spring beauty shoot focused on next year’s hottest lip and hair trends.

How to Get Bay’s Look: For any lasting look, use a good primer. I used Smashbox’s Photo Finish Primer to keep Bay’s makeup in place all day. After applying a light coat of foundation and powder, add a soft, rose colored blush to the apples of the cheeks, like Too Faced Brightening Blush in La Vie En Rose. I highlighted the top of Bay’s cheek bones with Smashbox’s Artificial Light Illuminatior in Flash – a quick trick to raising cheek bones. Because the focus of this look is on Bay’s lips, I have chosen to keep her eye makeup very suble. Over the entire eye, use a creme or flesh toned matte shadow as a base; try Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Vanilla. With an eye shadow crease brush apply a light coat of matte taupe shadow only in the crease. I used MAC’s Copperplate Eye Shadow. To add a bit of lift to downward slanted eyes, apply a light amount of the same taupe eye shadow to the outer corners of lid and blend out. To open Bay’s eyes up a little more I lined the bottom inside rim of her eyes with a cream liner, like Smashbox Eye Beam Double-End Brightener. To finish the look, add a berry toned lip stick, like Nars Lipstick in Niagara. For longer lasting lip color, use a matching lip liner all over the lip before applying lipstick.

Morgan Chelf from Photogenics and IMG joins us at a private residence in Ocean Side, California. We loved Morgan’s freckles, so instead of using heavy foundations we complimented them with these rich burgundy tones.

How to Get Morgan’s Look:

The focus of this makeup look is this dark berry color on Morgan’s lip. Try Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick in Satin Blueberry. To give it an extra little pop, I added Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in Black-Tie Plum, making her lips look succulent and sweet.

Using a deep maroon blush, like Make Up For Ever Sculpting Blush in 12 Matte Rosewood, lightly coat the cheeks. For this look, I stayed away from the apples of the cheek and mainly used the blush as a contour.

Instead of eyeshadow, I chose to use Smashbox Artificial Light Luminizing Lotion in Flash over the entire lid. This gives a slightly iridescent finish without distracting from the beautiful lip we created earlier.

Hannah Haehn from Photogenics joined us at Lizards Mouth on the crest of the Santa Ynes Mountains. Overlooking Santa Barbara’s breathtaking landscape, these beautiful rock formations served as a stunning backdrop to an even more enchanting model.

How to Get Hannah’s Look:

I began Hannah’s makeup by concentrating on her eyes, which I wanted to be the focus of her face. I began with a neutral base, like Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Ivory. Covering the entire lid and crease of the eye I used Make Up For Ever Eyeshadow in Terracotta 30. I applied this same shadow lightly under Hannah’s bottom lash line. In the crease of her eye, I used a rich brown shadow, like Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Magic Night. With a soft pencil liner, like LORAC Eye Pencil in 01 Dark Brown, line the entire top lid and the bottom water line of the eyes. Take a small, soft brush and blend out the edges of the top liner to make sure there are no hard lines. Use the same dark brown from the crease and sweep it over the liner that was just applied. This will not only set the liner, but it will also enrich the color.

Try a rich burgundy tone on the cheeks, like Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Blush in 11 Mistaken Identity. And finish with a semi sheer lip color, like Buxom Lip Lip Plumper in Dolly.
