Ohhhhh how I LOVE Old Hollywood glamour infused with smoldering sexy drama! Which is exactly what we had a chance to create for the issue of XO magazine. I was so excited to be on set with the UBER talented Cornelia Klimek. Every time I’ve had the opportunity to work with her, I’m always awed by her talent.
Time to talk makeup!!!! Sam’s first look is soft and feminine, with a strong brow, eyeliner and pretty lip.
Her evening look was total drama. Smokey, dramatic eye with well defined lashes. Sam has the most gorgeous lips, I just had to apply a mah-jor POP of colour- A Dior Coral!
Hot or What?? 
ohhhh, and our model Paul was smoldering as well!! I LOVE my job!! LOL

Nothing heats up a cold winters day like a steamy LOVE scene. Katie and Erik are head over heels for each other, it’s just a little bit obvious! Since I’m a romantic at heart, I just melted while I watched them.
Here’s how I created Katie’s dark smoldering look. I started with prepping Katie’s skin with a foundation primer to even out her skin and followed it with a flawless foundation that warmed her skin and gave it a radiant glow.
I applied a palette of smokey greys, subtle truffle browns, bronzy golds and matte charcoals to her eyes. I defined her eyes with a soft brown liner and smudged it for a softer look.
For an added touch of romance I applied a soft pink cheek colour and a pale pink gloss to her lips.
This vintage bohemian head band is fabulous. And I have to say that not everyone can pull off this look. But it looks totally adorable on Katie. All vintage-couture accessories were designed by www.pompandplumage.com
Cabaret Vintage Toronto styled Katie. She’s wearing a beautiful beaded shift dress, circa 1960′s paired with a vintage mink.

I had the privilege of working with so many talented women on this shoot. You are all extremely creative and inspiring.
