Makeup for Outdoor Pre-Wedding Photography – Ting

Posted by manja on October 6, 2011

Well, after her makeup trial, finally, it was the day of the pre-wedding photoshoot. And, vintage is definitely in… for this shoot! 🙂

Ting’s first outfit was a gold cheongsam… very befitting her Old Shanghai themed photoshoot.

To complement her outfit, I gave her a classic updo, and accessorized it with a red rose. Her makeup was done in a 1920s nostalgic style with ruby red lips and fuchsia-pink on the eyelids and cheeks.

Her second outfit was a chili-red midi-length dress, which matched her classic vintage-designed red luggage bag. In keeping with her Nostalgic Traveller theme, I gave her a half-updo, accessorized with white roses.

We decided that it would be more impactful to contrast the colour of her hair accessories with her outfit, instead of everything being in the same colour. Now don’t you think the effect is more exciting and striking? 😉

Her third look was vintage lace… a very romantic Victorian-style ivory wedding gown! 🙂

And to go with it, soft and romantic makeup. For her hair, I gave her a half-updo and pinned on her classic mantilla veil in the traditional way namely around the top and sides of her hair, to emphasize its pretty lace border.

Later, I gave her an updo, and accessorized it with a vintage knitted lace hairband.

I must say I had lots of fun creating so many vintage looks for one shoot! 😉
