Makeup Girl | Ala Moana Center

 

I was at Ala Moana Center and came upon a MAC Cosmetics expo with live models being painted by makeup artists. They were under a canopy with flat and rather dim lighting, so I used a little fill flash to help the colors pop. Mac was trying to make the painted model appear to be part of an oil painting, i.e., blend with the backdrop. I think they got very close.
