-“What are you doing tonight ?”
The question, even if thrown in a little’ suddenly, demanded an answer states that the Dony was waiting for, probably cuddling one of her cats, on the other side of the chat interface.
“..nothing in particular” typed carelessly, waiting to receive an invitation to a pizza among friends that was active for too long.
-“how about Venice? per uno shooting. I have to give an answer to an American photographer who contacted me, and go alone I broke ..”
Venice has never been in the top ten of my ideal cities, nor to stay, let alone to live, universally recognized as dear (the famous 15 Euros for a coffee in Piazza San Marco are not a legend) and always crowded with tourists often wandering aimlessly.
-“..of course, all expenses paid, paid work, and take my car.” finish the sentence Dony, facing a moment of my hesitation.
“There are.” The answer slipped between his lips fast, had not yet passed by the brain when it came out of the mouth.
Anything would be better than a 'nothing special'. In the company of a friend like Dony also, the time spent on the freeway would fly, we would have had time to update us on our stories, and maintain mastered our English, all in one evening.

The evening itself, was better than all my expectations.
Critsey, the photographer who had engaged in the work, proved to be a nice person, intelligent and sympathetic, over that of good talent in the photograph.
And despite the set of the improvised, the results were not long to wait. I realized the makeup mirror with my suitcase leaning against the table in a bar, near the station Saint Lucia, surrounded by curious, some tourists Asia and some passerby who asked me to be rigged turn.
It was fun and unusual, so as to leave me in a strange mood, also during the following set, by making me appreciate what 39 years almost ignored.
Venice at night changing face. And it is mysterious and beautiful.

The realization of the makeup:
Also for this make up, I chose to use fatty bases by powdering, more stable and opaque compared to classical water based.
Lying on the bottom of the same skin color Dony, however, already free from imperfections, I made light and shade with the classic technique of chiaroscuro. To handle the face and give a more natural, I also applied a touch of blush (blush) in the vicinity of the cheekbones.
The eye makeup was instead creating chiaroscuro reinforcing the already present with a bronze-colored powder eyeshadow, evident on the upper eyelid and just mentioned on the bottom, one-third from the outer edge of the eye, about.
The eyes were placed in evidence even slightly shaded with black eyeliner, thin applied only on the upper eyelid, in the vicinity of the root of the eyelashes, only then finished with mascara.
On the lips I gave free rein to a beautiful red access, gradient darker near the edges and slightly surrounded in clear to increase the volume.

Estate, sun. In an environment that closely resembles the style of David Cronenberg, cool colors of steel meets the warm tones of the flesh.

From an idea of ​​Valentina and the work of all of us is born this set.
In an enchanted location, a cross between a fairy tale and a dream, Giada girl back, and runs between games by flying his balloon…
Despite the chiaroscuro also strong background, everything is soft, light, delicate; the trick is therefore built according to this prerogative.
Similar to wedding makeup, Paving the basis, I reinforced light and shadow on the eyes, as well as in general on the face. The colors used are reminiscent and mix well with skin tones, the design of the lips and eyebrows was treated and finished with natural colors, lips polished also with a little’ of clear gloss, the eye in the finished watercolor drawing.

The result is a light and bright makeup, almost invisible, which highlights the radiant beauty of Jade, like in a dream.

The make up for this shooting is to be made lighter and spring, almost invisible, which enhances the natural beauty of the model (Maria Ida Righi was named Miss Reggio Emilia and has participated in 2003 the final of Miss Italy) surrounded by a bucolic environment almost Leopardi (CFR. “On Saturday the village”).

The trick has been achieved starting from a light and dark and light points (contouring & highlight) to highlight the depth of the face; technique also used on the lips.
Given the summer temperatures are entrusted me with a foundation based fat, then fixed with powder clear, technique now used routinely even in makeup and in the film Bride, and which provides excellent sealing.

Eyebrows were already a good design, I only comb and fill them with water color eyeliner.

Lipstick and pink blush to the cheekbones shaded eyelids have contributed to the model's face looks more radiant and natural.
