Nautical Styled Shoot: Rachel | Duluth, MN Makeup Artist

Last weekend I collaborated with Vain Salon and Mad Chicken Studio, some of my very favorite talented people in the business, on a creative photo shoot with Rachel as our astounding model.  I had the concept of doing a very summer feeling makeup look featuring nautical inspired details.  This is what I came up with and seeing as it has a prominent “red, white, and blue” color palette I thought no better day to post than the 4th of July, Independence Day.  Below you will find all the products  I used to achieve this nautical/patriotic makeup look.
