Do you feel shy, awkward, and don't do well talking to others? Or are you quite the opposite?

#8 | Shoot Ready: Make-Up






This week I describe what it takes to get "shoot ready" for a variety of gigs - this week covers makeup. THIS ISN'T A TUTORIAL OF HOW TO APPLY MAKE-UP, very far from it! I am more showing the different looks  clients and photographers may ask for, and what those style mean to me. :)
