Work out video shoot

Hola ladies,

I wanted to start posting so I decided to start off with a recent shoot I did for the shooting of a set of three workout DVD's. Before the day of the shoot, we did about three trials on the "star" of the show, trying different looks that had a non-made up look and (with the help of airbrush make up) would last the entire day under heavy lighting. We also wanted some contouring on her arms and shoulders and coverage on parts that showed and had some last minute stress caused breakouts.

Another obstacle thrown in was that she and the other 4 people in the video did about 6 wardrobe changes. Sooooo, we had to deal with tweaking the colors on her face as well as worry about the actual changing of clothes without ruining any of my work. For those of you fitness junkies, you know that workout clothes are made of Lycra and very form fitting. Clearly, the changes were not as simple as one may think.

The shoot lasted about 8 hours and I was on set from beginning to end. Luckily, there was a food service at the shoot so I stayed awake with LOTS of diet coke.

The final cut looked great, and after editing, I go to see how well the make up held up and how natural she looked. I touched her up periodically with Temptu invisible setting powder so she never "caked up" or looked like she even had anything on. The look we were going for was that she had a glisten from the sweat of the workout (a matte finish just would not look real), but never looked like she was a sweaty mess and had runny make up.

In the end, success was achieved. For anyone who has a task like the one I had, here's a list of what I used. Good luck to you!

-Temptu S/B airbrush make up

-Temptu silicone concealer wheel

-Temptu invisible setting powder
-MAC paint tube in Bare Canvas
-Bobby Brown gel liner (amazing..stayed put all day)
-Chanel Inimitable WP mascara
-Chanel Ultra Wear long lasting lipstick in Sandstone (it's a neutral color that dries down and lasts. All we did throughout the day was re-apply gloss, using various tones of pink and mauve)

Besitos
