I love metallics in makeup, especially when the plan is to process all in B&W. This was from a story I did a few years ago for an British magazine, I'll try and dig out the team credits and post in comments below if anybody is interested in knowing more? lmk
Lighting
Key light - Bare head with a little spun over the top, positioned really high up.
Fill light - small white brolly low down on minimum power.
My plan was to not have catch lights in the eyes, so you focus on the lip of the eyes not the eyes themselves. I always use a fill light even if its on minimum power, I find it always helps with the skin and black blocking in the hair.
