Recently I was lucky enough to be able to sign on with Fox Models Australia. I go as a commercial, promotional and photographic model which is exciting for me as I have done promotional work before but retired from it a few years back and I have never really liked commercial work but think it is time I expand into that arena.
Anyway, I just thought I would share with you my first promotional job of the year! I went solo with this which was a little tedious seeing as I do not have a car to transport the poster, bowl, tablecloth, table and cups provided (luckily my BFF/Boss Derek was very generous enough to help me out) but it was still fun to do. I had to give samples of the Skyy Blue vodka premixes and get opinions on the flavors, etc.
My "uniform" was a white t-shirt with Skyy Vodka on it and I chose to wear skinny jeans with it and some kick ass heels! For my makeup, I kept it simple: I swiped on black eyeshadow, mascara (by the way, my eyelashes must be on drugs because they are so long and seemed to just lengthen overnight! Maybe my Sri Lankan genes are finally kicking in with age? Refer to my tan which I'm about to discuss...), blush, straight hair and some earrings of mine that I thought matched perfectly...and yes I actually did use foundation.
Now I do not have an inkling as to how to do proper foundation and I do not even use concealer or a base or primer - whatever the heck you do to your face prior to slapping on foundation! I talked about Revlon's PhotoReady foundation in Natural Beige in this post for a previous photo shoot and am still using the same foundation...because I honestly have not used this foundation since that photo shoot. Anyway, my question is: does it seem like it is now too light for my complexion? I am aware I have tanned significantly recently - purposely I might add, I have frequented the beach since returning to Adelaide and am proud I finally look mixed! - and so now Natural Beige looks a little like pale beige instead does it not?
If it is not at all noticeable and you think I can carry it off without looking like a ghost then I am most definitely sticking with this foundation instead of going a notch darker. Even then, I doubt I would be keen to invest money on a darker foundation...it really does not seem too obvious, right?
I know, I can be a pitiful excuse of a model. But really, models are not as glamorous as you may think...
