Philomena


A beauty and lifestyle photo shoot with Jutta Klee and Philomena. A while back I worked on a photo session with Philomena  Kwao from Models One  and photographer Jutta Klee on location in Kent.

I apologise for my Iphone photo but this is “sans” makeup! and I am NOT a photographer! Skin was cleansed and prepped with Laura Mercier primer and we were ready to start with our first makeup look of the day.

For this look I used Laura Mercier primer, Mac concealer, Face and Body fondation (N9) Mac Studio Fix foundation (N9), Bourjois blusher in Rose Pompon 52, the eyebrows were brushed with a little Vaseline after been filled gently with Mac”Coquette” eyeshadow. For the eyes I used a Lancome crayon Khol  smudged softly on the lids close to the lash line and mixed with a little “Coquette” and “Concrete” Mac eyeshadow. The mascara was Maybelline  Great lash in Very Black. I use Creamy matt lipstick in”Latte” &”Towny pink” by Bobbi Brown and a little dab of Korres lip balm. The finished look is pretty, natural but groomed .

For this close-up beauty shot I added Stila eyeshadow in Kitten and Grace all over the eyelids. Mac lip liner in “Subculture”  Then added a touch of Mac lip glass in “Nymphette” over the Bobbi Brown “Bobbi” lipstick.
We worked all day in the beautiful Kent garden which we were using as location for our shoot, luckily it was sunny with just the odd cloudy moments! A fun and busy day, we ended with some gorgeous photos.
