Hair & Make-up with updates

Initially we want both band members to look quite natural yet distinctive.
Make-up wise Ellie will have a light base with some illuminating highlighter so her face isn't washed out on camera, instead it will reflect the light making her skin look flawless. If we apply the make up too heavily the HD will pick it up and look overly done and not the natural effect we want. We want Ellie to wear a bold red lip, with a light coat of mascara.The makeup wants to be as minimal as possible. I will straighten Ellie's hair, adding hairspray and serum so there are no flyaways.

Similarly we will do the same to Alex, a light base all over the face to ensure that he won't look washed out on the camera. With his hair we will style it in a quiff, smoothed down with some hair gel.  Aiming for quite a polished look.

Below I will include images of the day.

Instead of using just natural light to help see when applying the makeup, we ensured we used the same lighting used in the music video. I found out I had to apply more makeup than expected due to Ellie being reasonably pale. I added more bronzer and highlighter so her skin wouldn't look washed out on camera.
