Its all Disney with Claudia Bellanca





Welcome to the world of Music Videos; aggh the long hours, early call times all for that perfect video. We started at 5am and went into the day until Sunset. Because, we where more focused about the location, getting Claudia prepared before sunrise was important. To utilize the full day it was essential to have her hair and makeup ready, so that we could have her in Central Park as the sun peaked. Ill keep you posted on the final product.

Ouch you again



How to achieve a bruise like this one... First you can start by getting the right colors; your going to need maroon, yellow, black and greens. It would be great to get a image that is from an actual bruise! Great products to use is Mehron bruise Color Pro wring or MUD has a bruising kit. You want to get a brush that is frayed on the ends; the more tapered on the end the better. You want to create broken capillaries. Start by stippling the maroon color and add other colors as desired!

Boxing around with Makeup

Recently shot with photographer Caitlin Mitchell on a more active level. Boxing around with some men's grooming and Sweat FX. "What"s that you say?"; to achieve the glossy look on the body you can use SPFX makeup or body oil. I personally love the transparent jelly from Sweat Fx that can be bought at Alcone. Also Mehron has a wonderful alternative which is thinner.
I applied this jelly constantly trough out the shoot. Be sparingly with it so you don't break the makeup on the face. Heavy substances that have Glycerin as an ingredient or high oil base tends to break down foundation.





Men need makeup too- huh???
