Sisters Create Intricate Makeup Portraits Using Minimum Materials

Dallas, Texas-based sisters, Cassadie and Danika Dobson create otherworldly portraits through the use of flowers, pearls, and body paint for makeup looks and various materials such as sheets, foil, and tissue paper for photography props and “clothing.”

We have always pursued our own artistic endeavors but decided to partner up to create these makeup ideas to show that you do not always need a fancy space or expensive materials and makeup tools to create high-quality art. Each makeup look took about 45 minutes to complete and each photo session took about 30-40 minutes, with an hour of editing after. The white robe in many of the beautiful photos is simply a spare bedsheet, the baby’s breath flowers were leftover from a bouquet, the actual clothing was purchased at a local thrift store, and the purple textured backdrop is a rug from Danika’s spare room. As much as we both dream of owning a massive studio space with all of the fun props and supplies to create our body art with, there is something to be said about using the tools you already have to create masterpieces.

All of the cool makeup was done by Cassadie Dobson (createdbycassadie.com) and all of the photos were taken and edited by Danika Dobson (www.homesweetroadphotos.com)
