My Model - make-up and clothes test shots

Meet my Model

My model's name is Olivia, she is 17 years old and is studying for her A-Levels.  I have chosen to use her as my model because she has stunning facial features, amazing hair and would look good on front of a magazine cover. When people first look at her, they may think she is suits the pop genre more, however I believe her look is versatile - depending on makeup and clothing choices which I display below. She is also confident and up for a challenge which is another reason why I chose her, when completing my photoshoot she will be able to follow instructions and even offer new ideas because of her creativity. She is not shy and will be willing to adapt to different poses regardless of where the shoot is. I am confident with my choice of model and think the final photoshoot will turn out looking very aesthetically pleasing and professional.

Make Up:

Above I have displayed all the makeup I used on my model. I used primer, foundation, concealer, powder, bronzer, eyeshadow and all these brushes. I used this because I want my model's make up to look amazing and professional. The better it looks the more it will contribute to the whole look of the magazine, which is crucial.

The images above show my model experimenting with different makeup choices. The image directly above shows her with different make up on each side of her face so I could see which one looked better on her. I used purple eyeshadow because it goes with the outfit choices I present below:

Outfit 1:

         

This outfit consists of an aztec style jumper including colours such as; purple, orange, red, green, white and black. My model would be wearing grey or black sports leggings with this in order to continue the casual theme. I could add sports trainers to this look or use casual shoes like Converse. The colours in the outfit blend in with her makeup which make her look trendy and in turn will make the magazine look better, as this will also contribute to the colour scheme of the page.

Outfit 2:

  This is my second outfit choice, it consists of a lilac ski jacket which I could pair with high waisted jeans and a tight vest. I am not keen on this outfit because I think the colours are minimal and boring which would not excite the reader and make them buy the magazine. When the niche audience sees the magazine I want them to look at the clothes and think it is something they may wear, however these clothes could be quite generic and would not necessarily appeal to any specific groups of people, which is why I don't think I will use this outfit.

Outfit 3:

This is the third and final outfit choice. I am only showing the jacket because I was only experimenting with colours, as this will be the main piece of clothing. I would probably pair this with a sports bra, ripped jeans or leggings and sports trainers. This is my favourite outfit because I feel like it would really fit my magazine theme of indie because the model will be easily distinguishable, especially with this clothing, and give of a unique and independent vibe. These colours really suit my model, as do the clothes and I think the final outcome of these, when I complete my final photoshoot, will be great.
