This is my friend/co-worker Marquita =) She does modeling on the side and has been trying to get me to do her makeup for ages now. I was finally able to take her up on the offer and this is what I did for her runway show.

The top photo is the inspiration. I found this image online and thought it would be perfect for her. The two dresses she would be wearing were basic and allowed me the freedom of doing something colorful. Not to toot my own horn or anything but I am REALLY pleased with how this came out. My camera kind of sucks, it definitely did not capture the vibrancy of the gold or the dimension I was able to achieve. I also was short on time so I wasn't able to do as much as I wanted to do as far as eyeliner/lashes and I didn't get to line her brows =/

What I used
Face:
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
Maybelline FIT foundation in #255
MAC Don't Be Shy blush

Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
MAC Gorgeous Gold, Cranberry, Black Tied and Crystal Avalanche eyeshadows
MAC pigment in Golden Lemon and Accent Red
MAC Powerpoint eyeliner in Engraved
L'Oreal Voluminous False Lashes mascara in Blackest Black

Lips:
MAC Lip Gelee in Amber Russe

I'm looking to start doing makeup on others more frequently, in the hopes that I may be able to eventually apply to work for a certain makeup company *wink*wink*. I've got much to work on. I'm still a little nervous when it comes to using eyeliner on someone other than myself. Marquita does a fair bit of modeling and I'm going to use that to as much of my advantage as possible.
From what my friend told me so far, everyone at the runway show loved what I did [including her] so I'm pleased.
