I love this photograph. Rob presented me with a picture of a girl with red raccoon eyes and sparkles one day. The make-up was flawed in areas and we both agreed that we thought we could adapt it and evolve it into something better. Rob brought in Cally Palmer, who brought the *perfect* black sequined shirt – which added elegance and depth to the black background we needed to “calm” the red as well as a red apple – which for me applies an organic parallel to the otherwise very harsh and foreign red placement in the photograph.
Make-up main ingredients: MAC cream colour base in Reel Red (limited edition), Mac Kohl Pencil in Fascinating, Zoomblack Mascara and swarovski crystals.
