I recently had the opportunity to work on a Diva magazine editorial and cover shoot featuring Beth Ditto of the band The Gossip. Diva Magazine is a UK magazine publication that contracted work to us here in Portland Oregon because Beth lives in this beautiful city.
The Shoot
We started the shoot at a loft in The Pearl where Beth met the crew, consisting of me on makeup, Lindsay Avenetti on hair, Jason Quigley taking photos and his assistant on hand. Beth showed up on a rainy Monday morning to be pampered and primped before we headed out to the Forestry Center to shoot on location. Once we arrived on location the staff was buzzing about having Beth grace their presence as they giggled and asked for her autograph. She was such a good sport through the entire shoot, cracking jokes in her adorable little southern drawl. I can still hear her shouting “y’all” at us as we touched up her lip gloss and fussed with her hair.
The Look
I asked Beth what she wanted for her “cover look.” She informed me she wanted something a bit mod, so I used KeelieNicole Lush Gel Liner in “black out” to create a cat eye effect framing her eye. She wanted a punch of bright color, so I added a line along her bottom lashes of KeelieNicole purple “rave” eyeshadow for a pop of color. I finished off her lips with Supergloss in “Grape” a color which she was very in to. The look turned out perfect: Simple and mod with punches of bright color.
In all, it was a fun and productive shoot that I am excited to see the results of. Keep your eyes peeled on the Borders magazine shelves for a copy of Diva Magazine featuring Beth Ditto!
Thanks to Jason Quigley for supplying the “at work” photograph.

An artists touch…
When people find out what I do for a living one of the first things they say is “I wish you could come over every morning and put my makeup on.” When I first started in this career I would just laugh and our conversation would go on. After hearing the same comment for about the 100th time an idea clicked. I can’t be at 100 ladies houses each morning doing makeup, but I can put out a product that allows them to get the same results. That is what I based my cosmetics off of. Each foundation formula or lipstick shade was picked with my kit in mind. They are the tools that I most often use, the shades I most often go to, and the secrets that I pull out here and there to make the look “just right.” KeelieNicole is about taking the professional artists makeup kit and turning it into a user friendly version of the same thing that you can use in your very own home. Through my blog I will explain how you can use some of the products to get the same picture perfect look that I achieved on TV and in print.
