NOTE | Behind the Scenes with Team Cheema

Katie rockin’ the pencil thin brows plus jewels on the eyelids look. You know, just adorned in her usual Sunday’s best ;)

Just capped off an amazingly busy week of make-up with a Team Cheema photoshoot (which always makes for a fantastic ending to the week)! Our two models are faces you may find familiar from having worked with them in the past: the gorgeous Katie and the lovely Ada!

The hair and make-up prep was done at Fiorio (Yonge/St. Clair) for a good 4 hours, and then we headed off to the studio to meet up with Nads. The theme of the shoot was a 1920s/1930s theme, so a key element to the make-up look I attempted was pencil thin brows. Now, instead of having to make our lovely models sacrifice their naturally gorgeous arches, I used a combo of glue, concealer, foundation AND powder to cover the brows, so that I could re-draw them on pencil thin. Fabs aka Fabio Persico did a wicked job on hair once again; I wish I could learn from him by osmosis! I loved the overall look we achieved here, so I made sure to get a couple of snaps with my camera phone (in other words, resolution quality isn’t at its finest but you get the point!):

Closer-up view of the thinned out brows + individual jewels placed on the lashline (yes, I’m slightly biased, but I love this look!)

Awesome shoot today! Now, to catch up on emails and blogging :) Stay tuned for more pics!!

CREATIVE | Nadia Cheema Photography at Fiorio Salon

Here are a couple more pics from the shoot with Nadia this past weekend. I love the aesthetic behind this second look and our muse, Katie, is absolutely stunning. It’s definitely not a look recommended for everybody, but Katie stands out from the crowd and pulls the dark eyes and dark lips look off effortlessly.

CREATIVE | Photography by Nadia Cheema & Make-up by Rhia Amio at Fiorio Salon

I’m so excited!! Here’s a sneak preview of some photos from last night’s shoot with Nadia. The shoot took place at none other than Toronto’s finest Fiorio salon and spa by Yonge & St. Clair (I know – kinda a big deal, right?!). It was a gorgeous location and a super team that came together. This is one of several looks we did for the day. Nadia was super impressive behind the lens setting up shots and moving her body around just as much as our gorgeous model, Katie. I can’t wait to see what else Nads has up her sleeve, and of course, I’ll be sure to post them!
