I'm part way through a portfolio shoot for a local dancer and have come up against an unusual (in that I have never seen it before) and annoying problem. The client's eye-lids don't fully open. Even if you walked up to her and pinched her butt, they'd only open about half-way, and despite my continued prompting (Read: Begging & pleading) she really didn't seem to be able to do anything about it. As a result, even though the images are reasonably well lit, in most of them, she appears to have serious racoon-eyes.
I know that some of this can be dealt with by the application of different make-up (she had on fairly dark eye make-up to coordinate with a dark costume), but it still doesn't totall solve the issue.
Has anyone ever dealt with this, and/or have suggestions for work-arounds? Is there a particular type/style of make-up that might help reduce the degree of "raccoon-ness"?
