Creative photography assignments are pretty much on the top of the list of most photographers interested in expanding their skill and exploring their range.
Ideally you may want to reach out and share the set with other experts in hopes you can combine their craft with your vision. This will not only improve your imagery and product value but will definitely make the process of production a lot easier then if you were to shoot on your own.
If you don't get lucky and are not able to receive expert help such as makeup artist, wardrobe or hairstylist do not be discouraged.
You'd be surprise to find out in photography everything goes. Makeup, beauty and hair do not depict or explain your creation. Yes, these resources are convenient and beautiful to have any day, however the creativity and reason of the story are the true fundamental components that will help drive your creation to a true work of art.
Summary
Play around with creative projects, work in uncomfortable settings on your own.
Make up and wardrobe should not be the reason for your creation.
Inspiration, creativity and story telling should be the engine of your visual concept.
