SKINMASTER

By Elise Troop

Many people think the job of a professional makeup artist is limited to the face. However, when working on photoshoots and production, a great makeup artist should pay close attention to all exposed skin! It makes perfect sense, do what is required for a maximum outcome!  In this photoshoot Mainline Model & Talent Agency, Michelle arrived at the photoshoot in her first outfit; a crop top and mini skirt. Her exposed legs weren’t the issue, but her knees were red. As a professional, I assessed the situation and stopped before the photographer, Carmen of Moda Photography Philly took his first shot. I used a buildable crème foundation because it mimics skin the most and the full coverage completely covered the discoloration. Wahlah, a few seconds with makeup brush, sponge or wedge and you have secured a better selection of shots to choose from on your photo shoot!
