1985

as I recall...the anti-makeup look had just arrived...
but it took makeup to effect that look!

For faces photographed at a distance, shapes and spatial value are considered differently than for close-up shots.

2003

I did makeup two different ways on the same model. First, for an editorial fashion shot, very casual...then, using three pairs of lashes and some individual lashes and styling props such as feathers, mesh gloves, and millinery netting, this ultimately glamorous headshot.

My good friend, a photographer and DP for film and high-definition video, included me in a project with another of his friends, whose goal is toward her PhD in film. She wanted a modern-day Medusa, and made up the body, for which I made up the matching face.
