Fashion Week : Makeup trends…

Monday, September 12th, 2011

Has everyone been getting their Fashion Week fix? I sure have! Top Makeup Artist Tom Pecheux, says the looks on the runway are red lips. This lip color never goes away, it comes back bolder, sexier, and always on point! From all the videos I’ve watched the makeup appears to be minimalistic and the beauty is coming thru naturally. Bold lip colors in matte bold pink at
LUCA LUCA and the hair at BCBG MAxAzria ohhh lalalala gorgeous slick back with long draping waves!

I live for this!

Makeup Easy…

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

I put  together a few easy makeup tips for you to start off your day, I guarantee  you will have little to no makeup drama if you follow them. A  picture perfect beautiful face is what you’ll have  every time.

First- concealer. Concealer under the eyes works major wonders , if you’ve had a long night out or you didn’t get much sleep the night before it can  be a instant wake up underneath your eyes. Most of us aren’t so blessed to roll out the bed looking like angels, some of us had a few late night demons and need concealer.

Second- Blush. There’s a girl that works near me and I tell you  everyday this chick looks like she had the worst night ever. I tell her girl! Let me put some blush on your cheeks. It instantly brings color to her dull skin and gives her an awake glow that she needs to make her look alive during a long day. So BLUSH is a must!

3rd told you I wouldn’t keep you long. A shiny lipstick or gloss. You had to know that was coming! Something on the lips is inviting it says I took the time to think about what I look like today, the simplest of makeup products can do the most impressive job!

My Makeup Meltdown: Solved!

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

I think we’d all agree that when it comes to our impressions of one another, a persons image speaks volumes on things like personality and such, that’s why we dress according to how we want to be perceived (job interview, party, meeting the parents for the 1st time, etc). We’d also have to agree that without hair, makeup, clothes and accessories working in tandem….. you look wack! So here was my dilemma about an hours ago.  I’m about to school you cause I SWEAR  Biggies “I got a story to tell” started playing in my head after I pulled this off. Check this out:

So here I am getting dressed for what I would consider an important dinner, I’m meeting my bf’s closest friends for the 1st time. Of course I want them to like me, I’m already nervous and I just want them to see me in all of my fierce glory with beauty and brains, lol. I do my hair, I get dressed in my best, I grab my makeup box, open it and I think for about 3 seconds my brain went about as blank as what was in that box. I HAD NOTHING!!  I’m a Makeup Artist… I HAD NOTHING!!! Since I have so much makeup I like to keep things organized for when I do jobs and I realized at that moment instead of grabbing my personal makeup kit before I left home, I took the kit that had nothing but all lipsticks and blushes!!! Now that doesn’t seem so bad right?? HA! I HAD NO BRUSHES, NO EYELINER, NO MASCARA… I DIDN’T HAVE THE PRODUCTS I USE TO MAKE ME LOOK LIKE ME!

I had a 2 minute freak out session in my bf’s bathroom and then I went into auto pilot, after all I wasn’t about to be defeated. I lucked up and had my foundation in my purse, which even Safia Michelle would tell you is rare for me. I was in total MAKE IT WORK MODE. I turned my fingers into brushes and those blushes into eye shadows! I contoured my cheeks with bronzer, rolled some tissue up to apply highlighters and blush to my skin and cheeks. I used a q-tip to smudge a old discontinued blush I had into my lash line and the only mascara I had was BLUE! Ha, chile boo I made that thang work! 10 mins and a hot flash later I looked great, and I also changed my point on view on makeup application. Being put in uncomfortable situations forces us to fight or flee, so what you got??? And the boy didn’t even know I had a makeup meltdown! #GIRLPOWER!

Here’s what I used:

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

We haven’t done a celebrity swag award in quite a while…. and I’m sitting here pondering who to give it too and then….. my “ahh ha” moment hit. I’m cackeling inside How could I ever forget the Million dollar girl whos got more swag, style and personality then half of the entertainers out now.

 I met her at work surprisingly, I looked up and she was standing right in front of me looking for her products on the wall…
