Behind the scenes: Turn Magazine editorial

By Liz Washer | Published June 8, 2011

This shoot was lots of fun – we got to invade a fancy restaurant in New Bedford and shoot multiple outfits from Calico, a local shop. We worked from sunup to sundown! The concept for the makeup was very simple: clean, very bare airbrushed faces (almost no eye makeup at all) with strong contouring and burgundy lips. The editorial will be published in the Summer issue of Turn Magazine, a new online magazine that spotlights emerging talent.

(Check out the stylist’s dog making an appearance – she was a terrific model!)

Recognition – I has it again!

By Liz Washer | Published June 7, 2011

I figured it had been a year since winning Makeup Artist of the Week on the networking website known oh-so-appropriately as Model Mayhem, so I decided to try again with some newer images. Pretty gratifying, even if those contests never get the voter turnout the work deserves! (I had 9 votes total – next in line received 5.) Anyway, here’s the award graphic:

The two photos on the left were by Angela Perez (from this shoot); the one on the right is by David Pankratz. I love working with skilled beauty photographers!
