I work on a few beauty projects with make-up artists who take their craft really seriously, this particular one was Sade’s project. I hear from the rumorville that my charges are high for such shoots but I beg to differ. People think it’s just about taking friends to the studio, get some shots and adding some barbie doll looking photoshop on the face…wrong! A lot of work really goes into these type shoots starting from good modeling to the skillful touch of the makeup artist and lastly the countless hours of editing behind the screen just for one shot. Enjoy this 3 images thanks to talented makeup artist – Sade of Hautelook and Model – Lisa.

But she came with this gorgeous model Weini who some say looks like Alek Wek :) Checkout a few shots from the shoot. I don’t need to say much about Sade’s makeup but as u can see her work is beyond beautiful! I will be displaying more of her work on here when I get a chance.

Gloria is an agency signed model. I will put up more shots from this shoot some time next month.
