Okay, so I'm just starting to build my makeup portfolio. I'm having four girls over next week, I'm doing two at a time, pausing in between to send them over to my friend who is a photographer to take their pictures. I have four models who look radically different from each other:
Model 1: tan, blonde hair, blue eyes
Model 2: filipino, black hair, brown eyes
Model 3: puerto rican/latina, brown hair, brown eyes, androgynously gorgeous (kind of like the late supermodel Gia Carangi)
Model 4: fair, blonde hair, blue eyes, VERY striking features like piercing eyes, long lashes and very full lips
So here are my questions:
When building a portfolio, do you do dramatically different looks?
Or do you keep a 'theme', like, if you specialize in making skin look airbrushed, do you just focus on all the models having amazing skin?
Or do you do a bunch of different looks just to show your entire ability as a makeup artist, rather than focusing on one specialty?
and
As for model #4, I was considering a high fashion/couture look but I'm not sure which type of look I should try:
bronze smokey eyes (to play up her gorgeous blue eyes)
not sure what kind of lip i would do with the bronze eyes
or
dramatic black winged liner and a bold dark cranberry colored lip?
Any help or suggestions for either question ranging from practical answers or suggestions for other makeup looks regarding model #4 would be very much appreciated!
Thank you so much in advance!
