Makeup Love Affair

Julie DeCoste as Svetlana

Meet Svetlana, a beautiful princess we found roaming the forest.  She is princess of the flowers, the Lorax of the trees, the snow white as she is the fairest of them all.  

I did this photo shoot with pretty muse.  We put Julie in this huge head dress that Lj and I started working on a year ago. The "wig" that we sewn together is inspired by Hilde Marie Johansen.  Hilde is a HMUA (hair and makeup artist).  She also makes jewelry, costumes, eye lashes, whatever the photo calls for Hilde is a creative genius and whips it right up. 

Creating Svetlana

I have to give all the credit to Lj for this one.  Though I did the makeup, she came up with the design. 

Turned an ordinary girl into an exotic, mysterious creature made from flowers, fun and sparkles! 

This wig took us countless hours to make.  We hand stitched flowers to a hat, then put butterflies and  sparkles in it.

The rest of the photo from the shoot are on a video.  You can watch this video on this link or see them at www.prettymuse.com.

Bloopers... 
and random photos that didn't belong anywhere.

This photo is priceless!

Julie has a lot of personality and that's why I love her. 

We are lovely.
