Black Eye day...

You don't expect to have to black the eye of your model everyday, some jobs demand it, it's actually quite fun watching the makeup artist, in this case Nigel Hughes, slowly build up the black eye, then add the dental cotton wool pads to make the jaw and cheek look swollen, a touch more bruising around the mouth and job done, it all gets a bit more serious during the shoot, you start to think about the real implications of what you're doing the job for. In this case it's for domestic violence awareness, we're doing drug and alcohol abuse shots too. I'll post more images once the jobs are finished.
