Monday, May 7th, 2012

For all of you Pin-up girls and Rockabilly fans your favorite burlesque pinup model  Dita Von Teese has launched  a makeup collection with the  German makeup brand Art Deco.

The collection entitled “Dita Von Teese Classics” has an array of your favorite classic makeup colors including a red lipstick, and beige, brown, and black eye shadow palatte. This color combo was popular in the 50′s and 60′s but is still popular Today.

I love this makeup look, it’s so retro but it never gets old. Women of all races and colors can find  beauty in this classic look. It just makes you feel girlie and sexy!  The packaging  is way cute with a cartoon-esque image of Dita on the compact.  ArtDeco is sold in 350 Department Stores Worldwide.

Rihanna and other Celebs do ‘No makeup’, Is this a trend?

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012

Hey ladies

Have you all seen the photos of celebs trotting around without makeup?  I’m not going to front  I know I’ve been there, — ugly clothes, head scarf, hiding underneath a hat barefaced, — but the difference is I don’t have  cameras following me around to feel ashamed. So when I saw this on a  few of my fav makeup girls I have to ask, what statement are they trying make?

Solange started it last week when she attended a gala and appeared to be  dare I say…all dressed up and MAKEUP LESS. I said hold up I know you are gorgeous and all,  but where are you going wearing this beautiful dress and nothing on your face?!!

I am all for a ‘no makeup’ makeup look. These women and you my LM loves are all beautiful no matter what, but this just looks unfinished… I love you Solange but you got me with this one!

More celebs makeup less and proud!

Paula Patton in this month’s issue of People Magazine. She looks gorgeous, but no makeup…

Rihanna, no makeup… but I know she doesn’t care.

What are your thoughts?

Loves, are you wearing makeup every time you leave the house? Are you bold enough to try the ‘No Makeup’ trend at public events?

LM and Tween Girl Style Magazine

Monday, April 30th, 2012

Early this month LM had the great opportunity to do makeup and hair for the new and cool glossie
Tween Girl Style Magazine. Myself and makeup artist Whitney Parker had a fun time on set with our beautiful teen models who were fun and excited to be apart of the magazines Bright and Colorful Fashion Issue. Stylist Tina Jackson dressed the girls in the boldest and most fun colors of the season, and amazing photographer Nicole Mitchum photographed the girls in the best outdoor light. Shot in Lakeland, Florida at the Silver Moon Drive-in theater the shoot was modern girl  fun with a old an old school atmosphere.  It was really hot the day of the shoot so with  the makeup we focused on giving the models beautiful smooth skin and soft and girlie hairstyles.
Check out the behind the scenes video and to see how our fun work came to life!

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!
