No time for Fake ones!

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

money chick

“I got no time for fake ones i’m getting my hustle on with the real ones form East to West coast  we spread love son  and while you haters talk ish we count bank figures…” yeah baby you know what it is ! So in case you are anything like me you are going to be on your next hustle or chilling  on February 14th and here’s some cool  tips on what to do. Go make some money or spend some money  on who you  help stimulate the economy and quit complaining you don’t have a boo or cash. Beside you know what you like and chances are you won’t disappoint yourself and if you do well then that’s another blog post.   Number 2 Instead of getting your cry on get your fly on put on some clothes get drenched in a hot a$$ outfit and beautiful makeup don’t get dressed in Kleenex that’s lame. Most people are NOT in relationships all that we see on TV and in videos is ACTING, scripts, lines it’s fake so don’t be in the house looking all whack and depressed because what you see is not real.  Third go chill with your friends they’re cool you love them don’t you? Or why are they your friends.  Books are nice if you are so hell bent on finding love find it in a new book or music, something of substance that way you create a love for something special and new to you. And lastly be thankful because even though you may be another V-day chilling with your cat or dog   at least you’re alive a lotta people didn’t make it to 2010 (RIP Alexander MqQueen). I hate to get all deep but that’s just me, get a new perspective on your love for life and that should inspire you to treat everyday like Valentine’s Day.

Let’s do a Photo Shoot?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

I had the great opportunity to do a sexy boudoir photo shoot over the weekend and no I was not the model : ). Can I just say much fun and  very “personal” this process is . I worked with a great crew of people that worked very hard and professionally to keep our model in good spirits as well as making her as comfortable and beautiful as possible. It was fun. So in case you haven’t heard of such a thing it is basically a sexy lingerie or even nudish type shoot so Makeup Artist bring out the big guns for this one. I mean body makeup, oil, all that sparkle and beauty dust we love to use but photographers are like “NO SHINE” lol u know what I’m talking about. This makeup is Glamour Sexy, with innocence and sex appeal all in one, because truth be told many of the models for this type of shoot are everyday women who are presenting these photos as umm mmm “gifts”. So they have to look just as perfect as “actual models” and that’s where great makeup skills definitely come to play. These women of course want to look like themselves but themselves on “Beauty Steroids” i like to call it and who can blame them we all want to look hot as hell for our significant other. So when you do get called up for a job like this here’s a list of things you want to have in your kit:

I like this one by Burt’s Bees the scent is soft  but Citrusy, the shine is beautiful and illuminating very nice.

burts beesYou’ll need every part of your model hydrated and supple looking this will give a beautiful glow to skin and when the photographer has the perfect lighting her skin will glisten like the sun.
#2 Body makeup

mac-hd-02 I love MAC’s Face& Body, it is water based, sheer and buildable, and it won’t rub off on clothes or the leather chaise. It’s perfect for covering spider veins, skin imperfections, and discolorations without looking heavy, you still want your models naturalness to come thru.
#3 Bronzer, this one by Stila i love you can actually mix this in with your face and body and it will really look sweet.

stila-bronzer-de-75120709 I love bronzer it is perfect for shoots like these, it gives your model a healthy look and texture, warm and inviting. I know sometimes women will get a fake tan or even lay out to get a little color this is a great idea. In the photos you will look better as you won’t look washed out or dull. Some women like the look of very pale, I don’t it looks sick unless that is like your look and you have bright tats and dark hair. Otherwise pack the Bronze on baby!
#4 Shimmer YAY! Dior has some of the best shimmer powders!, this one has the gold, pink and a frosty white. Beautiful!

5045_Diorskin_shimmer star_rose diamond We makeup artist love us some shimmer baby and this is the time  to Shimmer that bad girl out!
Anything GOLD, PINK,SILVER,BRONZE, all that. Make your model very comfortable as you will be putting this shimmer in a few conspicuous places, which will make for beautiful highlighting in the photo.
And lastly lots of gloss!

bobbi brown lipgloss as in LIPGLOSS yes honey, she’s going to be puckering,pouting and poking those lips out so make sure those lips are on point. CLEAR, or any color she likes with a radiant high shine will do and Bobbi Brown has the perfect “non-sticky” can you believe that lipgloss for exactly the look we need!
