This is the last of a series of four based on the seasons, Spring! Our lovely model
Michelle Tate made this look effortless with her flaming red hair and porcelain skin. Casey of
Greyline Photography used some new techniques that she learned at the After Dark conference. Here you can see the series together:

I started by airbrushing Michelle's skin with my
Belletto airbrush system. I then defined her brows with Anastasia Brow Wiz pencil. I used several different shades of green eyeshadow to get this look. I used a couple from my Sleek Palettes until I got the right look. I added Makeup Forever diamond powder on top for shimmer. In order to make her eyes look bigger, I added lashes on top and bottom. But the bottom lashes I placed lower than her actual eye and filled the gap with white cream from my Makeup Forever Flash palette and set it with white eyeshadow. I used Illamasque cream blush and the lip was achieved by using the coral color from the flash palette.
