Tribal Summer Shoot!

oh the benefits of personal shoots...

In may this year I was asked to design and apply the make-up for my friend who is studying fashion styling. The theme was like 'urban tribe' which included clothes from current trends, mixed in with bright and 'tribal' like make-up!

There were two models so I had to design the looks slightly differently, but at the same time have some sort of link. The colour scheme was bright and contrasting to the skin, I decided to use blue, yellow, green, red and white. These colour's are common within cultures who are tribal as they are basic. The bright colours also add the element of it being basic yet eye catching, giving the it the raw edge that tribes are renowned for.

The hair was rough and not too over the top, it was simply ruffled. One of the models had her hair put up messily in a bun. The other had her long hair down and had light dreadlocks created to clump up the hair yet keep it simple.

The shoot had a fantastic outcome and I believe it was the bright streak throughout the make-up, styling and setting.
