ahhhhh... YAWN! GOOD MORNING!
Welcome to DAY 3!
Just to clarify....I do wear makeup. Not a ton, but I do. And sometimes a lot, like at my sister's wedding or a special occasion.
This blog is meant to spark a discussion within you and for us bring out the natural beauty within us all. I thought would be fun to do pics in the morning, right when I wake up, with no makeup, no brush to the hair and just that "fresh outta bed look." It's all in the name of thought provoking fun.
In reality, models and actresses get out of bed with no makeup and crazy hair in the morning too... I wonder what they look like? Especially the glamour ones, who usually wear a TON of makeup? Not being negative about their style. Just curious.
However, I DO love that more actresses, musicians and reality stars are taking off their makeup and going "natural" for 1 or 2 photo shoots. But even then, they still have foundation on covering up spots and blending their skin tone. AND then a talented photographer and talented editor.
I don't. At least not in this blog. And especially not this morning. hhehehhehehehe
Let's take a look at today's pictures!
DAY 3

I appreciate you trying to connect with your audience more by using more "normal" people. If you consider a celebrity (with thousands of dollars of make up products and skin treatments at their disposal) "normal."
What if you actually got REAL normal people to model your makeup? I wonder if it would sell? Just wondering.
Maybe you could do a "BE THE NEXT COVER GIRL MODEL" contest and advertise at gyms, Starbucks, and elementary schools?
Eh, just an idea. Take it and run with it!
Thanks for your time,
Noelle "normal lady" Veldhouse
P.S. I am NOT implying that I would want the next Cover Girl model job. No thanks, but thank you for the offer. I'm too busy already, my assistant would NOT be happy for me to take on more jobs. Girl Power. Natural Beauty Girl Power.
My Day 3 version:
Drew is cool, so not to knock her, but this pose was very unnatural and took a while for me to get it.... but I'm not a model. Models are probably very used to it. It's awkward.
If I'm touching the side of my face and my collar bone at the same time, it is because I spent too much time in the sun yesterday and my sunburn itches. Or I'm watching a disaster happen in slow motion. Like watching my toddler in a museum... pull.. down a....oh...NO..not. a.11th.century. Itailian. vase. onto. the. museum. tile. floor...... And then my face looks more like this:
1. Yes, I drew it.
2. Thank you, I know I'm quite talented in PAINT.
3. Like her shirt?
LIGHT:
Drew actually has 2 catch lights in her eyes. (Remember the white flashy light in a person's eyes?) I see an umbrella and then a small soft box right next to it. Again, same set up w/ my speedlight, white flash through umbrella and..... pulled in one of the bright lamps again for some extra side light. However, my lamps are just household lamps and not bright enough or strong enough to really show up in my picture. I did put a garage light/work light down on the floor shining up for more light, but it wasn't enough. And, the bottom light gave me less of a chin shadow and thus, you can see more detail on my neck/chin.
Drew's pic is really warm and my pic was shot with flash, so it needs to be warmed up post process.
Editing I really, really, really, really wanna do:
1. Oh, first, I really wanna liquify (shave some weight off) my chin/neck area a little to give it more definition.
2. Would love to warm it up. A lot.
3. Smooth out my skin to make it more even. Also, patch fix my spots/blelmishes to help have beautiful skin.... BUT NO EDITING!
DARN YOU no editing rule! Zigga-Zig -Ahhhhh....
Have a SUPER great day!
SEEK YOUR NATURAL BEAUTY.
It is found within.
It is found within.
Smiles, love and laughter,
Noelle...aka. Natural Beauty Spice
