Male Model Photo-Shoot

~ Joseph Kellner ~ Leave a comment

Shooting male model is relatively easy, clean haircut, foundation, eyebrow enhancer and lip gloss. Sometime you may need some form of bronzer or blush to add color. I started off with my photo-shoot model with a clean hair design and shave. The face was washed with a moisturizing cleanser and patted dry. A light cream moisturizer was applied. A dry foundation was used for some color on the skin and face. I used MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation NW 30. And I applied the powder with my MAC No.135 flat brush. A MAC Prep and Prime Fix setting spray was used to set the makeup.

A one-step powder and foundation that gives skin a smooth and even ultra-matte finish with medium-to-full coverage, with a velvety texture that allows skin to breathe. M∙A∙C Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is long-wearing, color-true, non-caking, non-streaking and non-settling – all for 12 hours. This pressed powder foundation is available in our most inclusive range of colors. After that I also applied a dark brown eye shadow to the brows and also some lip gloss and away I went with the photography. All the products I have used and fully recommend.

The hair was cut scissor over comb and styled with Bed Head CONTROL FREAK. Use Control Freak on wet or dry hair and be sleek and smooth. Control Freak is light and grease-less. It will resist humidity and buffer the hair from mechanical heat. You get a straight-up, glossy finish. Excellent product to style men’s hair and to blow dry smooth wavy hair.

MAC Strobe Creme Is A Must For Skin During A Photo-Shoot!

This product is a must for my models when I am shooting in the sunshine. The product has a very nice glimmer to it. And when applied to the legs, arms, and chest it will give you a lovely glow. This is a must for my preparations of my Black and Brazilian models, the product will show up on darker skin and give it a beautiful sheen and highlight. But on fair skin I seen to get shadows with color and that is not what I want in my photography. I always apply this product to all my models for lovely highlights to the skin. And if you are going out at night it works perfectly for you.  I highly recommend this. Work the product in your hand about a dime size if possible and apply to the skin where you want the highlights.

If the product is to strong for you dilute with a little hand creme and then reapply. Work the product in well or it will become streaky.  If you are applying the product to the face I would recommend using a small feathered makeup brush. And only use small amounts at a time until you get the desired look you want. Blend, Blend, Blend.

I recommend the Goldlite and the Peachlite.  For dark to medium skin.

The ultimate quick fix for skin now in shades of pink (original), peach, silver, red and gold. Super-powered with potent botanicals.  It boosts the look of dull, flat or tired-looking skin with nutritious vitamins and a mega-dose of green tea. Brightens and clarifies with iridescent particles and antioxidants. Adds the softest glow to skin in sunlight to spotlight.  Give it a try.
