Candy Makeup Concept

Candy Makeup Concept

A happy and colorful concept. Bright make-up complimented by real candy sprinkles on the face of model Alexanderia Wallace applied by makeup artist Monique Stevens. The makeup used in this photo shoot was Coastal Scents 252 pallet and Black Opal Caramel and Heavenly Honey. I purchased the purple wig from Morris Costumes, a local costume shop in Charlotte North Carolina. I couldn’t decide if I should go with red, green, blue or purple. As you see I settle finally with the purple. Morris Costumes has the largest selection I have seen in Charlotte, and they are very helpful!
The last finishing touch which had been laying around the photo studio for the last couple months was the Whirly Pop lollipop from Dollar Tree. Alex brought it all to life with great emotions and expression that often surprised me! Check out the video. I truly love working with the two of them!

For the second look which was very similar, we decided to drop the Whirly Pop Lollipop and just go with complimenting sprinkles on the hand and fun expressions.

Don’t miss other great photos of Alex in the model section. Hoping for many more successful photo shoots with this model. The next shoot will take place in the spring with more vibrant colors an perhaps larger props to compliment the shoot. Feel to leave any suggestions or positive critics in the comments section.
