This was a beauty spec shoot on July 24th, 2026. I wanted to do a shoot that featured the products of some brands that I would like to work for. For the lighting, I wanted to use direct, hard lighting to show the spectral details of the makeup and skin. For the color palette and color grading, I did complimentary colors of teal\/green against warm skin tones. I had an amazing model and makeup artist. This was shot at my Miami production studio, Know Good Studio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Production team:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Model – Brook Wolmart – CGM Models<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Makeup and hair – Shani Gottlieb – Agency Gerard Artists<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studio – Know Good Studio www.knowgoodmiami.com <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Photographer – Josh Eskridge www.josheskridge.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note from the makeup artist, Shani Gottlieb: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year I\u2019ve been really inspired by the return of bold, colorful eye makeup. I\u2019ve been pulling inspiration from Y2K beauty and the iconic makeup trends of the 2000s but giving them a modern editorial feel. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nBrook has such a unique look with her light green eyes and dark brunette hair – we wanted to create a cool, wearable editorial makeup look that still felt timeless. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nI used cool gray eyeliner from Urban Decay which really pulled coolness along with soft blues and greens from the Made By Mitchell cream palettes to enhance her eye color and add dimension. To keep everything balanced and more wearable I paired the statement eyes M.ph Le skin and Mutha Pucker Up Lip Plump in Almond Mom for a fresh finish<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This was a beauty spec shoot on July 24th, 2026.
