Before I left for Asia I had a shoot with Because Magazine (the wonderful online sister of Tank).

I had been planning with Kay to do it for months, so by the time the shoot came around I was sooo excited to see it all come together.  Kay Montano is one of the most talented Make-Up Artists in the world.  I first worked with her for a shoot last year and we have stayed in touch since then.  I love her work, she truly is an artist.  She's sympathetic to the uniqueness of each face and to me that (and a steady hand) is the most important skill for a Make-Up Artist to have.  I really enjoy working with her because I can completely relax (I'm normally a total control freak) and let her work her magic.  Necklace from Venice and Dress Peter Pilotto.

So together Kay and me designed a series of make-up looks inspired by the beauty looks from the AW12 shows, that would become tutorials for Because.  This is the first of the series, it is inspired by the blue eye trend.  I hope you enjoy it!  You can see the original piece on Because HERE!
