Grooming for Adidas NCAA Uniform ads

Here are six final images from a shoot advertising Adidas college basketball uniforms – these guys were so much fun to work with! I spent a lot of time spraying “sweat” on the models (who, despite jumping around all day, were entirely too cold to break a sweat, especially in an unheated warehouse in February).

All photos by Eric Levin – and check out their behind the scenes blog entry!

Lifestyle shoot, makeup & hair

Two full days of on-location shooting with a Hallmark Institute photography instructor, a talented wardrobe stylist, and a bevy of over a dozen models yielded a fun new assortment of photos intended, in part, to showcase my clean & breezy makeup style for catalog & other commercial projects. We had so much fun on two sequential Sundays that were (luckily for us) wonderfully sunny, allowing us to make the most of two separate lakefront locations in northern Massachusetts.

I did all the makeup, grooming and hairstyling, keeping things very simple and clean since the story was about young folks enjoying outdoorsy, “preppie” activities like canoeing, camping and just hanging out at the beach. I did a mix of both airbrushing and traditional application, depending on what the models’ skin looked like and what the look called for. As for hair, it was very simple – lots of loose windswept chignons and ponytails.

More cozy commercial work

Did another job with Serene Comfort last week – nice natural makeup for that fresh-from-a-good-night’s-sleep look (if only I looked this cute when I actually woke up!) Here’s a first look:

Commercial for UMass on WGBY

We shot this just days after Thanksgiving last year and it’s finally starting to air – if you’re a public television nerd like me, you can catch it on WGBY on Wednesdays and Fridays during PBS Newshour.

I did makeup for both women in the clip – a professor who almost never wears makeup normally (so I kept the coverage very light), and a college senior who normally wears Bare Minerals (which I promptly removed; that stuff is far too shiny for TV!) She was happy to sport a little extra eye definition for her TV debut.
