Final Nail Laquer Shoot


These are the final images of my Nail Laquer Look. I think I have created images that would sell the nail varnish really well as the hands have been placed in a relaxed way and aren't stiff. I think I've done well to present the makeup the way I wanted since I practiced. I like how the skin is glowing and the eye shadow is shimmering. The hair was dropping through out the shoot and so the curls became more like waves but I don't think this ruined the look too much and still made the shoot look Tom Ford. Overall I am really happy with this shoot and think the images have come out really nicely.

Final Day Look Shoot



These are my final images of the Day Look. I think I managed to create a natural look but still make it look Tom Ford by applying the metallic pink eye shadow. I think the lips and skin have a nice natural effect and the hair completes the look as it is curled but still slightly ruffled to fit in with the Tom Ford look. Over all I'm really happy with the outcome of this look as it is how I imagine a Tom Ford girl would look in the day and I also got some really nice images.

Final Night Shoot



These are the final images of my Night Look. I'm really happy with how the hair and makeup looks in this shoot. I added a satin primer to the skin which I was worried would look greasy in the photos but it has actually worked really well with the lighting in the studio making the skin look flawless. I think this is the best I have contoured a model's face as it looks really nicely blended on the skin. I was also worried that the eyelashes I used on my model would look too heavy but that also worked out nicely too and the eye makeup looks how I wanted it to. The lip shade I used also created a nice pinky tone but still natural looking too. I think the hair came out really great as it looked glamorous and mixed with the makeup to create a rock chick Tom Ford look really well.

Final Spring/Summer Look



These are the images of my Spring/Summer Look. I'm really happy with the results of the eye makeup in these images as they look bold and you can see the purple eyelashes really nicely. I was worried they wouldn't show up well. I think the skin looks slightly pale in some places and maybe I should have contoured the whole face better. I really like how the lip shade has created a shine and a really nice pout too. I really like how the hair turned out for the shoot as I managed to create loose, wavy curls that look glamorous too. I thought I'd style this shoot with a leather jacket and glittered top to complete this rock chick look. When shooting this look it took me a while to figure out where to take the photos. I took the first image with the model sitting on garden furniture and the other two images of her standing up. I also struggled to get the posing right because I knew it needed to look like how models pose in Tom Ford campaigns but overall I realised that when my model was relaxed she brought out the best poses for my images.

Final High Summer/Beach Shoot



These images are of my High Summer/Beach Look. I originally wanted a complete white back ground for this shoot but after testing different lighting I felt that this lighting really suited the shoot as it hits the model really nicely like the sun is shining on her. I also think the lighting has helped shown up the dewy effect I have created. I really like how the 2nd image shows the golden eyeshadow in a soft light but maybe I could have applied more so that it was more noticeable in other images. The hair varied through out the images but I think I did a good job creating beach waves for this look. Through out the shoot I put more salt spray in and scrunched it up so that the hair wouldn't fall flat. I think I bronzed the face in a way where it was subtle but still gave the model a Summery glow. Overall I really like the outcome of these photos as they can be very relatable to Tom Ford's campaigns  because the hair is in a style that a rock chick would have and the makeup has a dewy, glowing look that relates to some of Tom Ford's Summer Campaigns.

Overall Moodboard


This my overall mood board of what I have gathered from the Tom Ford Spring/Summer Makeup Collection. I've included the campaign image used for the collection to show what I am taking inspiration from and the focus of the project. I've decided to include images from the catwalk show of the Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2015 Collection because it is relatable to the makeup collection as there is an all together feel of this grungy/rock chic character that Tom Ford has made in both collections. I've included the two black and white images of the girls because they have the type of hair styles I am aiming to have in my 5 looks and have that rock chic look to them especially the girl on the left. I think the girl on the left is more grunge and relates to the type of hair I want to create. I've added crushed eyeshadows onto the mood board to show the colours of the collections. I will be using each one in some of my shoots.

Night Look Face Chart Draft

This is the final chart of my Night Look. For the eyes I have applied a blue shade of eyeshadow from my Revolution Dia De Los Muertos palette. I have also applied a black eyeliner and black lashes but these are actually meant to be teal green. The skin is going to be contoured with Illamasqua Disobey bronzer on the cheeks. For the lips I have applied NYX Tea Rose lipstick to make lips more pinky but still a natural colour and not too bold.
