Brows gone Wild!

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

What’s the deal with Brows lately?  Is it just me or are there far too many women parading around with unmanicured eyebrows? I feel some of my fellow makeup artists and I have to do double takes at untamed brows and perform cosmetic surgery before even getting to MAKEUP!! There are far too many hair removal remedies for some women to walk around with unsightly hair on their forehead!  I’m guessing they got a bad wax or razor job…but despite what’s going on they MUST get it together!

Here are a few quick tips for getting your brows right during the “I’m growing them out” period…

1. Consider changing your hairstyle for a while. Try bangs that cover the forehead, especially if you were wrecked waxing. Bangs will help shield brows until you have enough hair to start over again.

2. Use a concealer to cover the hair, especially if your brow hair is light or soft. A little bit of concealer will help to camouflage (take the edge off ) of ugly brows.

3. Use a clear brow gel and a medium bristle tooth brush to comb hairs into  place. Although hair may be thick, if you comb your brows and smooth them, they’ll have the appearance of looking groomed even though you’re long overdue.

Love & Lipstick!

Do you like my makeup?

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

Happy Hump Day LM Loves!

Today I’m coming to you with the question, how would you feel if someone told you they didn’t like your makeup? As a Makeup Artist many people will ask me if I like their makeup, and I will give my honest opinion when asked. (However there is a difference between doing makeup well, and liking/disliking a look. I share this with the people who ask me to critic their makeup). But I would never take it upon myself to go up to someone and say I don’t like your makeup #RUDE. Well, I had the awesome experience of having someone come to me and say they didn’t like a particular color I was wearing. It caught me by surprise  :/

Needless to say I didn’t ask this person for their opinion. As a matter of fact I was minding my own business, so I don’t know where this person came from…

 

 

I think it’s really important as people to express our own creativity. It’s also important to respect the choices of others, (even if we can’t see ourselves doing whatever the God-for- bidden thing the other person is doing!)

In this case I mean it’s only makeup.

Love it or Hate it, it’s artistic expression.

So for the nice lady who openly shared her opinion on my look, I said to her: “I appreciate your opinion, we all have them. But I love what I’m wearing and I think I’ll keep wearing it! Have a Nice Day!”

Vogue Italia lets us know what’s a #HauteMess!

Monday, March 12th, 2012

You know  you’ve seen it before so don’t act like it doesn’t  exists but DAMN! why does it have to be in Vogue Italia Magazine ?????? Art  imitates life every now and again and  sometime it get’s a little ugly…Well in case you missed it the March issue of Vogue Italia decided that it would take the hood  from the inner cities and place it in  it’s glossy pages and come up with  a #HAUTEMESS editorial shoot for it’s March feature.

Here’s what I had to say on Vogue Italia’s website (” ART making ridicule of culture,lifestyle again Who in Italy cares about this anyway, couldn’t the creative team come up with something dare i say creative instead of bringing more ridicule and negative depiction to someones lifestyle. Although this is in the pages of a magazine, it’s girls around my way that really do look like this #notcool “)

LM loves, let me know your opinions…
