80's inspired (An homage to my birth year)

I have been away for a while, but I’m back and I’m excited with what the New Year has in store. As the New Year rushed in, I started my HMUA stunt very positively. For starters, I got to organize a well-received photo shoot with two lovely ladies. Sienna and Erika has been my declared favourites ever since I first worked with them and mind you my affection has not dimmed down. It was pure thrill to have them both in one shoot.

As homage to my birth year the 80’s, we conceptualized the shoot under the influence of that decade. Skater Park in Somerset, as a backdrop for the shoot was equally influential in threading the whole 80’s vibe.

80’s hair and make up is big and colourful at the same time. For Erika I gave her winged out eyeliner and for Sienna a stand out shade of blue eye shadow.

Here are the products I used to put the whole look together:
