Bye Bye Binders
Back in the day (Ok, really just up until a month ago), I was working off a binder system.
INSPIRATION BINDERS.
Lots of people keep these – Or at least they’re pretty common with creative types. Personally, if I came across makeup that I loved in a magazine, I would rip out the page and slide it in to a clear plastic sleeve and put it in one of the many binders that would take up way too much space around my room. It was a system that served me well for a time, but after almost a year of ‘inspiration binder’ keeping…Things got a little out of control.
I also got a little bit lazy, and towards the end I would rip pages out of magazines and never put them inside the binders at all. Then there were occasions where I’d find myself sorting through these binders for a reference, and I’d end up removing pages while shaking my head trying to figure out why I even thought I liked some of the images in the first place.
In any case, that antiquated system is DONE. I’m over it.
The timing couldn’t be better since just the other day, photographer and friend, the fabulous Miss Marley Kate put me on to something much more efficient. Gone are the days of tearing out pages from books and magazines! A little site called Image Spark is changing the game and making it much easier to organize and refer to images that may inspire you.
Now all I have to do is upload the images that I like to my very own reference library. I can even create moodboards for specific styles that I want to separate from the rest of the pack. If you use firefox, there is also a plug-in that takes things one step further by allowing you to click on any image you come across while perusing the web, and automatically uploads it to your Image Spark library.
The best part is that the site is still pretty young, which means that it’s still possible to get a user name that actually is your name.
Check out Image Spark and search for me under (what else?), Jillian.
More Nathaline @ Wilhelmina
Here are a few more pictures of Nathaline @ Wilhelmina.
For this shoot I created a look for her, using boot black liquid liner applied in the crease with a dusting of black shadow applied with an angled liner brush to set. Nude lips were created using Bare Venus (limited edition and no longer available), and her cheeks were contoured using powder blush in Blushbaby. All from MAC.
