  1.   Ready for work! Cork on crease, naked lunch on lid, shadowy lady on inner and outer corners, and brule as brow bone highlight. I also alternate what colors to use on the lower lashline— you can’t tell, but I have on humid today! Also, work had a viva glam nicki so I went from nude to bold! #makeup #eyeshadow #maccosmetics #mac #makeuptalk #faceoftheday #ftod #eyesoftheday #vivaglamnicki #makeupartist #work #k3richardray (Taken with instagram)

I seriously loved the way the pictures of Julia’s set came out. Since I can’t really use these photos for my portfolio because you really can’t see the makeup, I thought I would post it here. 
Enjoy!Richard RayMakeup Artistwww.k3richardray.com
