The Retro Karissa - Part 1

We've been shooting this muse for some time now and she continues to shine and inspire.  After our last shoot with Karissa, which was Adele inspired, we decided that we really wanted a retro vibe for this one.

So, I drug out the sewing machine some fabric and bird cage netting and made this cute little pencil skirt and matching hat to get more of that retro feel. Then we had, Lance Stevens, HMUA, do her hair in a side twist. Her makeup was similiar to our last shoot with a cateye look, with long lashes and we finished the look off with rich red lips to help give it a 40's feel.

It takes more than a fun outfit to make a look work.  It takes a good model and Karissa has a seasoned feel to her that made this shoot go off without a hitch.  This shoot was done at The Mansion by Indian River Park.

Part 2 tomorrow - I whipped up a second look, a gorgeous burgundy brocade bustier and royal blue pencil skirt with an exaggerated wrap and tons of jewels.  Then Karissa took 8 yards of fabric and tied herself a very fancy evening dress for the third look.
