Glow in the Dark Makeup photoshoot with Lloyd K. Barnes photography

It’s hard to find makeup that can actually glow in the dark under UV lights, so it’s vital to purchase a specialized glow in the dark makeup. Luckily I purchased a 5 colour glow in the dark makeup kit at the IMATS (International Makeup Artist Trade Show) in NYC this past April which was a life saver. The glow in the dark makeup palette can pretty much only be used when mixed with water, which makes the consistency just right and spreadable and the colours are fabulously neon and bright, which stands out in any light.

On my Brazilian model, Marina, I started off by applying her moisturizer, primer, foundation and concealer (even though it was not necessary under the black lights)… Then I started to mix up the glow in the dark colours with some water. Using a fine pointed brush, I applied the eyeshadow in many different colours then brought it up over her brows and then on her ears. I made her lips a nice bright pink and applied some false strip lashes (that I painted fluorescent pink). With some extra water saturated on a fat fluffy eyeshadow brush, I splattered the glow in the dark makeup all over the right side of her face, neck and chest for some extra fun.

Voila! Glow in the Dark makeup!! The makeup glows only in a black UV light, especially in a super dark room. Check out the pics!
