Simple Edgy & Dramatic Black Make-up Look (My First Make-up Tutorial)

Hey Guys

This is my very first make-up tutorial! I hope that you guys like it. Hopefully I'll get better with each video that I do :)

I'll be showing you how to create this simple edgy & dramatic black make-up look

The Story Behind this Look:

I created this look for one of my photoshoots that I did awhile back. When I was living in Japan, I had the opportunity to work with Jyllian. She's an amazing photographer. I absolutely adore her work and she's such an inspiration to me. I hope that one day our paths will cross again and that I'll have the opportunity to work with her again. 

Check out Jyllian's work

The concept of the shoot was "Good Ballerina Gone Bad". It was an all day shoot and involved two different sessions. One during the day and one shot at night. The good ballerina is dreamy, organic and whimsical while the bad ballerina is edgy, dark and mysterious.

I did my own hair and make-up for the shoot and this look is the look that I created for the bad ballerina. We wanted something dark, edgy and mysterious...

Here are a few shots from the Good Ballerina session:
