I have a book of ideas. A safe place where I write down makeup and photoshoot concepts as they come. I’m always excited to have the opportunity to bring these ideas to life, and I’ve finally completed my most favorite one yet. A makeup transformation of different beauty makeup styles on the same model. Providing a visual to the importance of a professional makeup artist and what we can bring to a clients project. Also showing how one person can be seen in ways you wouldn’t expect.
This concept has been an idea for years now, and I finally felt that I was at the level in my artistry where I could do it justice, and what better time than to pair it with a long overdue relaunch of my portfolio website.
The photoshoot turned out better than I could have imagined when I first scribbled it down, and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.
Drawing inspiration from the vintage NARS, Makeup Your Mind book. I tapped into the beautiful canvas of Nina Darr at Select Model Atlanta. A chameleon in her own right, she was the perfect fit for this beauty shoot and for the intro to the new makeupbysaj.com.
The full animated makeover transformation can be seen at MAKEUPBYSAJ and if you’d like to see the final photos with more detail, check them out in my BEAUTY portfolio.
I already have a second edition of this concept planned and in the works and I’m equally excited to share when completed. Stay tuned!
