Looking Through the Window at Life
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Portfolio on September 17th, 2009
This is one of Anton De Beer’s “Bridal Boudoir” photographs
“Looking though the window at life. You look amazing to me” is the title given to this photograph by the model, Kira Wilkinson. Kira and I shared a chalet whilst touring Jo-Burg with Madame Zingara and when she finally returned back from the UK I felt privileged to finally work with her on a test. I really love the ambiance of this photograph, the lighting, the reflections in the glass and the neutral colour palette. I hope to work with this team again soon!

Make-Up: Main Make-up Ingredients: MAC: Apply Strobe Cream — to give the skin radiance, the buff Studio Fix Fluid -( in my experience it’s the longest wearing of MAC’s foundations which makes it ideal for brides) into the skin with a stippling brush (I like the #187). Apply “vanilla” under the brow bone, “Cork” and “bronze” to the crease, “All that glitters” and “arena”to the ball of the eye and then line the eye with “rich ground” fluidline. Set the brows with clear brow gel, and then gently fill them in with eyebrow pencil: “lingering”, gently dust some “gingerly” (sheertone) blush onto the cheekbone for a girly glow. Dust over the entire face with Prep+Prime transparent finishing powder and then finish the lips with “smoothberry” lipliner and “full-for-you” plushglass to really accentuate that pout.

Colette – final
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Portfolio on August 12th, 2009
The final image, my personal favorite, from my first shoot with James Strack and Caroline Olvarrietta. For me, this is the show where Colette looks the most beautiful, and also a shot which utilizes the amazing “soft natural light” James created. It was a privilege to work with this great team.
James wanted to focus on texture and light, monopolizing the unique set he designed for the shoot which utilized strategic channels of natural light with the help of an accompany assistant and his board, so it was important for the make-up to look “soft” and “fuzzy” whilst still sculpting Colette’s face. By using Colette’s natural colour palette ( the colours in her hair and skin) I was able to keep this look “simple” and “uncomplicated”
Colette (2)

This was my first shoot with both James and Caroline. James asked me for “something neutral” keeping the colours to creams, browns and greys.

This is one of the first images from my first shoot with James Strack. James asked me for “something neutral” keeping the colours to creams, browns and greys. James said he wanted to focus on texture and light, monopolizing the unique set he designed for the shoot which utilised strategic channels of natural light with the help of an accompany assistant and his board.
Main Make-Up ingredients: Blending! I used MAC’s #224 brush to really “fuzz down” her shadow and enable me to apply shadow from very light to dark without any tell-tale lines or patches. MAC eyeshadow: “brule”, “cork”, “garcon grey” lips: pencil in “stripdown” lipglass in “majestic”.
