wild like children

July 24th, 2010 by Stephanie

Been doing a series of shoots for a new baby/children’s mag… Applying make up for kids is no easy feat, some of them don’t even want you to come near them with a brush within 5m radius, but I’ve been pretty lucky so far. No one has cried or vomited on me. I have worked with children many times before as a volunteer, I played with them and helped with their homework, but make up? Uh oh…

Me and the first little girl I’ve ever applied make up on, Maya.

Maya has GORGEOUS red hair. I wish I can pull off such a vivid red too but I’d first have to bleach my hair to hell and back which would probably quite effectively fry it. Black it is.

Jenna and the hair guy, Tony! Jenna is extremely mischievous and talkative!

Cute little Elise. The shoot was held on a yacht. I know!! Way cool :D

Ella, who is a joy to work with, except she loves make up so much she kept wanting to try on other colours!

Met Elise again at another shoot, here she is with the photographer’s Sharpei-cross! :D
