Photoshoot Makeup in Sidi Bennour
Makeup for a camera rather than for a room — editorial, campaign, portrait or content, at whatever distance the lens is working.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
How long it takes
Ninety minutes to two hours for the first look, then twenty to forty minutes per change depending on how the order is planned.
What fails first, and how it is prevented
Flashback. Light-reflecting particles — commonly silica, and SPF in a base or primer — are invisible in a mirror and blow out white under a flash. It is the single most common way a shoot is ruined, and it is only ever caught by testing under a flash beforehand.
What Sidi Bennour adds to it
Casablanca is where the regional traditions meet. A wedding here may run a Fassi sequence, a Rbati one, a Soussi one or a mixture, because the families come from everywhere — which makes it the one place where the negafa's running order has to be established rather than assumed.
The metal question. Whatever the garment's metal is, the palette follows it — gold calls for warm bronzes and coppers, silver for cool greys and plums.
The climate. Atlantic coastal, humid, and hot through July and August. Thin successive setting passes hold; one heavy layer slides.
Before the day
No trial, but the lighting has to be known in advance. A face built for a beauty dish and a face built for window light on an overcast Casablanca morning are different builds, and changing the light means changing the face.
Home. On location across every area, with no travel charge inside the city.
