Metal

In preparation for this shoot, I kept thinking of metal and how light reflects off it.  

 From there my mind wandered to things made of from metal, and I went straight to armor. The creative juices started flowing and I conjured up the idea of making a mask that mimicked armor. 

So that's where I started!

I used an assortment of different makeup to get the armored look. I found the most success with shimmery eye shadow, it created the metal illusion I was going for. 

 I didn't want anything to distract from the face and mask, so I kept the costume simple. I knew in the editing process I would  mute the colors, so the costume didn't play a major roll in this set. 

These last two images are edited differently, but I really liked the way they came out especially the last one.

And again, a little behind the scenes for you.
