Sometimes, everything comes together even better than you had envisioned. This shoot took place a few months ago in Boston, and we managed to rock it out despite a last-minute model cancellation. Thankfully, we found a SUPERB replacement and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

The theme was a modern take on 1960′s fashion (Mad Men, etc.), and each makeup look was achieved with Temptu airbrush foundation and OCC lip tars. I loved doing the strong brow and pale nude lips in the mod look, as well as the classic red lips. I also used a rich chocolate brown nail color on Christine (Shades by Barielle, “Make it a Latte”).
