A colleague from college, Russel CP, and I did a collaboration shoot yesterday featuring 13seouls, a boy cover group for Super Junior. We were supposed to shoot 16 people - the 13 members, 2 choreographers and their manager (who happens to be my little sister). Unfortunately, 7 of the boys were not able to come so we are only able to complete the set cards of the 6 members.

My sister woke me up today at 5:30 in the morning asking me to do her makeup. LOL I barely have 3 hours sleep so I was half awake doing this.

It took me an hour doing her makeup. She has pimple marks from previous breakouts so I used a green concealer to neutralize the redness. She wanted a very natural look so I had to cover the flaws and yet keep it as if her foundation was her skin. :) The trick - apply very thin layers of foundation and gradually build up only at certain areas that need coverage. Set with a powder and spritz with Evian mineral water and dab a moist disposable sponge against the skin to blend everything.


I was so sleepy and didn't have time to charge my cam so I was only able to get photos taken from her friend's phone cam.
