The Thalia Strates Look Book
I am definitely a lover of all things fashion and the great thing with my job is that I get to do hair and makeup and be surrounded by fashion all day long.

Last week I was shooting an editorial for Elle and they wanted a 70's inspired look purely because 70's fashion is back in a big way so the makeup had to match. There are also so many take's on 70's makeup but we went with a more luxurious look and all I used was 2 eye shadows!
