Finally got my hand on the images for a shoot I did for VOLT magazine which is out now! The brief was a tongue-in-cheek homage to the fashion images of the 90s supermodels. My era! Instantly, photos of the runway queens like Linda, Naomi, Cindy, Kate, Stephanie, Carla, Helena & co popped into mind!
I grew up with these women branded into my memory. Lifted super arched brows, loads of contouring, nude colours, all melding into a heady, sexy and cheeky mix. Obviously we now have the benefits of high-tech makeup formulas that eliminates all the heaviness of cosmetics in the 90s. And bearing that in mind, I really wanted to create modern and sexy looks that still kept the cheekiness and frivolity of the 90s.
Below are the my 4 favourites of the shoot.

Hehe Amanda, I think the 90s never left! There's so many elements of that era in makeup still. I love it as it was the time I really started and I still use techniques from that era today, although in modern ways. I'm glad you like the images. Thank you! x
ReplyDeleteso beautiful. I love the first image- I'm a sucker for heart shapes, but I adore the bottom right image, those lips are so sensual. fabulous work as always!
ReplyDeleteOh Anais was so sexy but yet innocent, the kind of sexiness that comes from youth and natural beauty! Thanks for the lovely comment and taking the time to have a look! X
