The Objective

What started as a goal to add more glam looks to her portfolio grew into a full production. Riah's Creatives set out to create a full-day beauty editorial spanning two glam directions — bold editorial color and soft, wearable glam — casting 9 models from over 70 inquiries to bring the vision to life.

The Approach

Riah scouted and cast the models, then built a full creative team: one hired MUA grew to three after two more artists offered to collaborate, plus a jewelry designer to complete the styling. Inspired by Pinterest, the shoot split into two glam directions — bold green and gold-glitter editorial looks for two models, soft glam for the rest. An assistant helped run the 9 AM–5 PM day, keeping nine models, three MUAs, and a full shoot schedule on track.

The Results

The day produced a full range of glam content, from bold editorial looks to soft everyday glam — turning a portfolio goal into a fully produced, team-led beauty editorial.
