Skincare Final Images






Nars Skincare Final Images.

Skincare Test Look

Displaying IMG_6308.JPG

For my skincare look that will be shot in the bath, I want the skin to be clear and fresh advertising that with Nars skincare you too could achieve flawless skin. I have used vaseline on the eyes to create a shine that will stay put in the water. I am using M.A.C Strobe Cream as the base for the makeup which will help create a fresh glow. The look is natural and hopefully the light reflecting on the water will pick up on the glow that I have tried to create. I am happy with this design and think it will work well with the concept I am trying to create.

- Have a water spray on hand to create water droplets on the skin or use Glycerine dabbed over the face with a stipple brush.

Skincare moodboard




The idea behind my Skincare shoot for Nars is based on an underwater theme. I want the model to be shot underwater and with the droplets of water on the face to show an interpretation of washing the face. I want the makeup to be natural with neutral tones used. The skin will be dewy with lots of highlight used to create this effect. I want the skin to create this illusion of reflection that is also created when light hits water. I will use Vaseline again on the eyelids to help create more of a reflection. The hair will be scraped back off the face. Once it is wet and flowing in the bath it will be behind the shoulders so to not interfere with the makeup created.

High Summer Test Look

The test for my High Summer look went well and I am happy with the design I have created. The lighting in the studio will pick up the highlight around the cheeks and the vaseline on the eyes quite well. I like the contrast between the eye colour and lip colour and think this works well and reflects on Nars love of colour

The model I have chosen to use has short hair therefore I will create sleek hair so that the image has a high end feel to it. I also want to try out creating a five strand roll to create texture to see which finish works best for a high summer campaign.





I am happy with my final images created. The skin reflects the eyes nicely creating this summer mood. I decided to shoot on two different backgrounds so that I had more option when it came to deciding what I wanted my final image to be. I prefer the orange background as I think it brings the whole image together, tying in with the nails and eyes.
