In September I was asked to participate in a Halloween Styled, "'Til Death Do Us Part" Theme photo shoot at Windveil Manor in Cypress, TX.  Windveil Manor was a perfect backdrop for this photo shoot!

Styled shoots always help inspire my creativity.  Since most of my clients are very natural makeup clients, I jumped at the opportunity to play with darker and much more dramatic colors.  I realize these looks featured in this post aren't for everyone, but it is fun to play with color! 

This is just the first of 2 posts from that styled shoot and this post features our beautiful blonde model, Taryn.  Taryn has stunning eyes and to help enhance her natural green color, I chose to use smoky plum hughes.  Her skin is already fair, so I just used foundation and powder to match her natural skin tone and applied translucent powder in the lightest shade possible to give her a porcelain look.

There was no need to apply additional lashes, as Taryn already had professional lash extensions on.

I used bronzer to accentuate the hollows of Taryn's cheeks.  Even though I normally opt for more cheek color on the apples of the cheeks, I didn't feel as if a "rosy glow" would fit the theme of the shoot.

I also applied deep plum/black matte lipstick shades to her lips and accentuated the lips by applying a grape colored gloss on top, as her lips needed hydrating.

The result was definitely a look Taryn never wears, but as you can see from the photos below, they worked very well with the style of our theme.

Taryn is a very sweet lady in person, but she was able to give the camera some somber attitude at times!  To find out more about Taryn, you can visit her blog by clicking here.
