We proposed this idea to photographer Matias Troncoso and he loved it. We worked with Elite models and the pictures were published in Elite Magazine, a blog from Elite a g e n c y www.elitechile.cl/2008/08/19/ birds/ The concept makeup was inspired by birds of paradise from different places, this one in particular is the poisoned one, when she was still alive. Here are the steps to create it, you'll see it was very easy: 1) Apply concealer where needed, on dark circles, cheeks, lips, the apply MAC nc15 studio fix fluid foundation and set
with nw15 studio fix powder. 2) Applied bare canvas paint on the eye as a base, and then different kinds of MAC blue eyeshadows, and liquid liner. 3) Illuminate the cheeks, nose and lips with MAC mercurial mineralize eye shadow and mac quick frost pigment. 4) Finally apply MAC boundless 3D glass. As you can see, I use several limited edition products from MAC - which I just love.
