Photoshoot: Summer 09’ Beauty Page

We had a blast during our Summer 09’ photoshoot earlier this Spring to promote our Summer beauty look (for our website’s main page). The look was light, airy, and organic with splashes of vivid colors to make a strong summer statement.

Tips from Taylor:
As we get into our early thirties, it's so important to protect our skin from the harsh sun rays and use products that will help reduce the signs of aging. Try using Thi's Mineral face powder to help protect the skin. Lightly dust the face throughout the day to ensure sun protection!

Products used on Model:
Face:Mineral Face Powder # 1
Eyes: Soy Cream Eyeshadow, Fai eyeshadow, & Lush Lashes
Cheeks: Aiko
Lips: Quinn Lipstick

Behind the scenes:

From the photo images that day, it may seem that the weather was warm and cooperative. But here's a clip proving that things aren't always as they seem. Watch our courageous model Lija bare the freezing gusty winds while Lisa, Peggy, and myself work on fixing her up for a gorgeous pose! Lija - you rock!
