Birthday Glam: A Flawless Makeup Transformation for a Special Celebration in London & Essex
It was an absolute pleasure working with Blessing to create a stunning, glamorous look for her birthday shoot! Special occasions like birthdays deserve the perfect makeup to match the excitement of the day, and I wanted to ensure that she felt her absolute best in every photo. Here’s a breakdown of the gorgeous look we achieved and the high-quality products that helped bring it all together.
The Vision:
For this birthday shoot, Blessing wanted a radiant, glowing look with a touch of elegance and fun. She wanted to feel like a true star and have a makeup style that would pop on camera yet still feel true to her personality. The goal was to create a makeup look that was glamorous yet wearable, with a flawless base, a bold eye, and a stunning lip.
The Products:
To bring this vision to life, I carefully selected top-tier products that not only provided excellent coverage and longevity but also gave her skin that luminous, radiant finish. Here’s the breakdown of the products I used for this gorgeous birthday makeup:
- Foundation: Maybelline Lumi-Matte (368): This foundation gave us the perfect balance between a matte finish and a healthy glow. The buildable coverage provided a smooth, flawless base that would last throughout the day and night, without feeling heavy or cakey.
- Concealer: Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer (12): To brighten under the eyes and cover any imperfections, I used this high-coverage concealer. Its creamy texture blends seamlessly into the skin and provided long-lasting coverage that didn’t crease, making it perfect for the shoot.
- Moisturizer: Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream: Starting with this luxurious moisturizer, I prepped her skin for makeup, ensuring hydration and an ultra-smooth canvas. Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream is known for its ability to plump and hydrate, which allowed for a glowing and fresh foundation application.
- Primer: Rimmel Stay Matte Primer: To ensure her makeup stayed in place all day, I used the Rimmel Stay Matte Primer. It helped control shine and kept her skin looking flawless for hours while allowing the makeup to apply smoothly.
- Setting Powder: Huda Beauty Easy Bake Setting Powder in Blondie: To set everything in place and ensure a matte finish without looking too dry, I used Huda Beauty’s setting powder. The shade "Blondie" brightened the under-eye area and helped lock in the foundation, leaving her skin airbrushed and flawless.
- Setting Spray: Urban Decay All Nighter: To ensure everything stayed in place, I finished the makeup look with Urban Decay’s All Nighter Setting Spray. It’s a lifesaver for longevity, especially for long events like photoshoots, keeping her makeup fresh and intact for hours.
- Eyeshadow: Huda Beauty Nude Obsessions Palette (Naked): For the eyes, I chose soft, warm tones from the Huda Beauty Nude Obsessions palette in "Naked." These shades gave her eyes a natural, yet glamorous look, with a mix of matte and shimmer finishes that popped beautifully on camera.
- Lip Gloss: Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Fenty Glow: To complete the look, I applied Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb in Fenty Glow. The universal shade gave her lips a gorgeous shine without feeling sticky, adding just the right amount of gloss to complement the soft, radiant look.
The Final Look:
The finished look was truly breathtaking! With a flawless base, glowing skin, a soft yet striking eye, and a natural lip,Blessing looked absolutely radiant. She felt confident and beautiful, and the photos from the shoot captured her glow perfectly. The makeup stayed flawless from start to finish, and it was such a pleasure to see her feeling amazing in front of the camera.
Client’s Feedback:
Blessing was thrilled with how her makeup turned out, and it was such a joy to see her confidence shine through in every photo. She mentioned feeling like a true queen, and it was incredibly rewarding to help bring her vision to life for such a special occasion.
Why It’s Special:
Makeup has the power to transform, and this birthday shoot was all about celebrating Blessing and making her feel like the best version of herself. The combination of luxury products and my tailored techniques helped achieve the perfect balance of glamour and elegance, ensuring that she felt radiant and stunning throughout her birthday celebration.
