About a week ago, my friend, Jules, used me as a model for her mom’s jewelry store. I never had such proper treatment before. And I never had that much makeup being put on to one single face…my face.
Jules, a MAC makeup artist, did a great job regardless. It was crazy! I never knew that my own dork face was capable of such impeccable hotness, all thanks to Jules and her fine makeup artistry. Here are some photos of the shoot, some of them are “actual” shoots and others were from our regular cameras mostly for fun:
Boy do I love makeup. Isn’t it great how putting a little can accentuate features? And putting lots of it on can really altar a woman’s face in drastic measures, capable of deceiving men? And speaking of men, I wonder if they–who are attracted to women that always wear caked-on powder, caked-on lipgloss, caked-on eyeshadow, and whatever other form of cosmetic they’d put on to their heart’s content–are aware of what might be underneath the cake-laden face.
After a couple of hours of shooting, I drove home with the makeup on. On my way there, some guy driving next to me stared and whistled at me, and made flattering remarks. Usually, this doesn’t happen. And this whole time, I couldn’t help but to think, “If he only knew…” If he only knew that the glossy lips, the rosey cheeks, the long lashes weren’t hereditary. If he only knew that I really don’t wear makeup unless I go out for a special occasion or that I’m with my boyfriend (sorry Matt!).
If he only knew that he was actually whistling to this:
Lol

Haha. Cake-Laden Face.
Thanks for taking the time to write something that is actually interesting (and funny). Its refreshing to see that someone is capable of cognitive thought process, and figured out how to write it down.

My, those are some hot pictures!! And the jewelry is so pretty! Is it expensive? I love your hair too btw.. it’s very Cleopatra-ish.
I agree, make up does wonders and I think most of us look completely different without make up (I know I do). But then it’s not like you have to put on a full face everyday. I usually skip the foundation and maybe just do a little blush/bronzer + eyeliner + lipBALM. I find that I rarely use lip gloss nowadays.

Those pictures are gorgeous! And I think makeup just helps defines the features that you naturally exibit! Prettiness!
I love the jewelry! Does you friend’s mom have a website?

You’re gorgeous all the time, Tiff! Your individulaity is part of your beauty.
You’re lucky to be so pretty without any makeup, and I respect that you’re secure enough to not feel the need to wear makeup. I feel so insecure without makeup on.

Tiff the pictures look great! So hot!! It’s a jewelry ad, but you could also pass for a MAC makeup model too.

I’d rather get it on with no-make-up tiff than made-up tiff… because the make up just gets in the way when you’re trying to make out and stuff

Beautiful photos! I too love make-up. And make up with COLOR. I mean bold eyeshadows and lots of blending

The pictures are beautiful! I really love the one with the bow where you’re touching your face. Make up really can accentuate your best facial features. I couldn’t live without 5 coats of volumising mascara!

Wow you look GREAT. You need to use those pictures in your next layout.

You look lovely in those pictures. And in the last picture, I laughed quite hard. You should’ve still made that face at that dude whistling at you… priceless. Haha.
