Our very first shoot with Haute Shots Boudoir Photograpy was hot, hot, hot! Once again, we had the chance to do a vintage Vargas Girl look, one of our favorite styles. Miss Eve was so lovely and easy to work with, and she had the perfect look to pull off the style.

Thanks to Stacie and HauteShots.net for providing us the photos!

On a regular basis, my makeup work is more glamorous, for models or brides. I get so used to the sparkle that it takes a moment to remember how to do an application for more conservative jobs, like the one I did recently.

A good refresher course on the basics, this job was for a medical post-grad school’s marketing materials. The subjects were a combination of men and women, of various ages and skin tones. It was fun (and slightly intimidating!) doing natural makeup again after such a long time, but it was good practice in basic corrective makeup for studio-lit photos. It was also great practice using traditional makeup again! Using an airbrush for most of my jobs has really spoiled me- although I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of coverage I was able to achieve using mineral foundation powders. I also got a chance to use my BeneFit Benetint lip balm which gives just a hint of color and a touch of natural glossiness to give the lips a natural look!

Recently, Bird, a friend of Hera Beauty and one of Las Vegas’ own Suicide Girls had a photo session with photographer Ryan Reason. Bird wanted a vibrant look using red and black tones, to coordinate with the location decor and the outfit she would be wearing. The results? As said by Aesop, it is not only fine feathers that make fine birds!

“Kat & Whitney were absolutely fabulous! Coming from the east coast and not knowing who to book, I received a few responses but talking to Kat made me most comfortable. I booked her mainly on her sweet personality, and I couldn’t have had better intuition. I wanted something classic in terms of hair & makeup (as the whole Elvis thing was already over the top!) and as we are wedding photographers and deal a lot with hair & makeup artists, maybe we are even picky. Perfect choice…could not be happier with the job they did!”  -Jackie

Our client, coming all the way from the East coast, wanted her Valentine’s Day weekend wedding look both elegant and yet simple. After discussing what styles our bride liked, Whitney curled and created a full-bodied, half-up style that complimented her long, shiny hair. Kat used one of her favorite bridal color palettes to pull the whole look together.

This wedding was before we were airbrushing- but the look was achieved with mineral makeup foundation and blush. I had a lot of fun doing this wedding- mostly because I was in it!
