I teamed up with friend and photographer Stephanie Gschwandtner from Passion Rebel to shoot Zime Shabalala's lifestyle portfolio for Grace Model Management. The brief was natural street style with clean minimal makeup, wavy hair and relaxed personality.

This is what we came up with:
SKIN
Zime's skin had no major issues regarding dryness or excess oil. My main focus in this application was to create an even and healthy skin with that inner glowing radiance.

Prep + Prime Essencial Oils - M.A.C. R505.00

Eye Renewal Cream - KiKi Beauty R290.00
Eye Shadow Keeper - INGLOT R369.00

FACE
Zime has slight darkening and discolouration around her mouth and eye area that required some colour correcting. I upped the glow factor by mixing liquid highlighter into the foundation. The foundation was a medium to a full coverage formulation recreating a natural 'no-makeup' finish.

EYES
Zime has amazing natural brows and I didn't want to over-define them but rather fill in the gaps. For the eyes I wanted to enhance her natural eye shape with a dark brown matte smoky shadow and highlight on the brow-bone and inner corner of the eye. This was paired with a smudged out black liner and generous layers of mascara.

LIPS
Zime has the most incredible full lips with an even light colouring. I enhanced this by applying a matte lip pencil in a matching shade, topped off with a dab of metallic liquid lipstick.

HAIR
To complete the "girl-next-door/ street style" I gently combed through a shine oil, defined the curls in sections and set the look with a over all hold spray.
