"Ghost of Christmas Present" Portfolio Photo Shoot

Hey Guys,

       Last week I started building my portfolio with a look that I have had in my head for a couple weeks now. It is a relatively simple look, based off the character, “The Ghost of Christmas Present,” from the movie A Christmas Carol.  I was nervous for how the pictures were going to turn out, (seeing as how I can barely work the camera, and know even less about lighting) but I was pleasantly surprised with how the look and photo’s came out!

       A huge thank you goes out to my sister for being the model. She is not a huge fan of the feeling of makeup on her skin, so this meant a lot that she was willing to put up with it to help me out. I appreciate her patience and her supportiveness in following my dreams.

       I have been working hard to increase my skills and artistry level, and am very pleased with how this look came out. As far as I have come, I know I always will have more to learn and perfect! That is what makes being a makeup artist fun, there is never one way to do things, and trends, techniques, and ideas are always evolving and changing.

       So without further ado, here are the final two pictures for my portfolio (which have been edited slightly). Following that is a list of the products that I used to create this look and a few other photos that I thought came out well (these were not edited in any way).
