For the outfit, I wanted a pastel kind of toned ensemble, to compliment the softness of the wooden/white stairs. We went for a midi skirt in a blue ombré, and an oversized white shirt. Pairing it with some jewels like my marble hand cuff and a hand harness made it a bit more pulled together in my opinion.
Now for the crazy part: hair and make-up. Paulien immediately started a hunt when I told her I wanted her hair to be pastel pink. After four shops and a little despair, she finally found what we needed: pink hair chalk. We thought the hard part was over but GURL let me tell you: colouring her hair pink using one little spongey applicator was a freaking mess. We almost used the whole content of the little box to get her hair to look like this. Little secret: the back of her hair was barely pink. I just made sure that I captured the parts that were nicely done, and kinda hide away the parts that were still blonde. #fakeittillyoumakeit!
Make-up wise, I focused on a crisp, radiant face with maximum highlight. On the eyes, I used some pink shades and some neutrals. On the cheeks, I used a cream highlighter AND... an amazing loose silver pigment, that really caught the light. I am very fond of this make-up look and I am so happy with how the shoot turned out, especially because everything was kinda improvised and à la minute. What do you guys think?
