This first one was taken for the souvenir book. I'm assuming that the makeup was self applied. It's ok but too light for photography so doesn't accentuate her features.
The next one was taken for the official portrait. The hair and makeup were done by professionals that normally help out with the pageant. She thought it would be better to have her hair down but whoever did her hair forgot that she would be wearing the special anniversary crown and gave her a hairstyle that blocked the view of the crown. Not a good idea. The makeup was ok, but again not properly done for photography and I knew she would look prettier if she had the right makeup artist.
Since another photo session had been scheduled, we decided to advise her how her hair should be done to make her look more elegant and I referred her to my favorite makeup artist Beverly Kaneshige (www.makeupbybev.com) whose work I trust as she knows how to properly apply makeup for photography. She also does hair so she created a hairstyle that would make the Queen look elegant and show the crown as it should be without taking attention away from the Queen's beauty.
Proper makeup does make a difference.
