Prom: Neutral

Hey Beauty Fanatics!

I'm back with a neutral prom look. This could also be used as an everyday neutral. This is the same model that I used in the prom shoot, but this time I did her makeup for her own prom. We decided to go with a neutral look since her dress was a deep satin purple. Since we wanted all the attention to go to her dress, I played down the eyes, but created a simple, yet eye-popping look.

What I used:

FACE
-Smashbox Photofinish Primer
-Revlon Colorstay for Combination/Oily Skin in Golden Beige
-Bare Escentuals Tinted Mineral Veil

Cheeks
-MAC Fun & Games Beauty Powder Blush (HK Collection)

Eyes
-Urban Decay Primer Potion
-MAC Naked Lunch ES (all over lid & brow bone)
-MAC Woodwinked ES (outer v, crease, outer 1/3 lower lashline)
-MAC Vanilla Pigment (tear duct)
-Loreal Hip Cream Liner in Black
-MAC Engraved Eyeliner (lower lashline)
-Lashblast Mascara in Black

Lips
-MAC C-Thru Lipglass

That's it! Pretty simple!

Stay tuned for the other prom look that I did that same day. It's another neutral look , but on tanned skin.

Hope you liked it!

Photoshoot: Prom

Hey Beauty Fanatics!

I'm back with another shoot. This time we did a prom shoot! I know a lot of schools have already had prom, but this will work for graduation or any other special events. This is a great one because since, the model was younger, I toned down the makeup without losing some color. So, if you don't like too much makeup or are a teen, this will work for you. I mainly worked to cover some redness and blemishes, but she had beautiful skin to begin with and was so much fun to work with!










Here's what I used:

FACE
-Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
-Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation in Ivory (to conceal)
-Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation in Medium Beige
-Bare Escentuals Tinted Mineral Veil

Cheeks
-NARS Orgasm Blush
-Physician Formula Bronzer in Baked Tan

Eyes
-Urban Decay Primer Potion
-Loreal Hip Duo Eyeshadow in Sculpted (pink shade all over lid)
-Loreal Hip Duo Eyeshadow in Wicked (purple shade on outer v & crease)
-MAC Vanilla Pigment (inner tear duct)
-Loreal Hip Cream Liner in Black
-Too Faced Lash Injection Mascara in Black

Lips
-NYX Lipliner in Natural
-MAC Mouthwatering Lip Glass

Hope you liked it!

Photoshoot: Smokey Silver

Hey Beauty Fanatics!

So, this is the 2nd part of the shoot as promised. This one is a more fun smokey silver look. This smokey eye could even work for the daytime. If you want something more dramatic, you could always add more black to it to deepen the crease and outer v. This would even be great for prom if you still have that coming up.

Here's what I used:

FACE

-Smashbox Photofinish Primer

-Makeup Forever Matte + Liquid Foundation

-Bare Escentuals Tinted Mineral Veil

CHEEKS

-Nars Orgasm Blush

EYES

-Urban Decay Primer Potion

-NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Yogurt (Base)

-NYX Silver ES (all over the lid)

-NYX Platinum ES (crease & lower lash line)

-MAC Carbon ES (outer v, crease, & outer 1/3 lash line)

-MAC Vanilla Pigment (inner tear duct area)

-NYX Highlight ES (highlight)

-Loreal Hip Cream Liner in black

-Too Faced Lash Injection Mascara in black

LIPS

-NYX Lipliner in Natural

-MAC Lipglass in Mouthwatering

And that's all folks!

Hope you liked it!

Photoshoot: Summer Neutral

Hey Beauty Fanatics!

It's been a while!!! But, I'm back. I'm trying really hard to get all the makeup jobs in that I can before school starts, which is why my posts are going slowly. But, I'm trying my best to get the looks out for you. So, thank you for being patient.

This was a shoot that I did. We were going for a very, subtle, summery, neutral look. I didn't have to do much with the model since she's already gorgeous as you'll see. If you don't want to wear too much makeup or just want something that will accentuate in a very subtle way, this is it. This is one part of the shoot that we did. The other will be up very soon. So, please look out for it!

Here's what I used:
FACE

-Smashbox Photo Finish Primer

-Makeup Forever Matte + Liquid Foundation

-Bare Escentuals Tinted Mineral Veil

-Physician's Formula Baked Tan Bronzer

EYES

-Urban Decay Primer Potion

-Physicians Formula Baked Sands Eyeshadow Bronze (all over lid)

-MAC Cocomotion Pigment (all over lid layered on eyeshadow above)

-Physicians Formula Baked Sands Eyeshadow Cream (highlight)

-Random Dark Brown Eyeshadow (used wet to line upper & lower lash lines)

-Too Faced Lash Injection Mascara

Lips

-NYX Lipliner in Natural (to line and fill in lips)

-Bare Escentuals Lips Gloss in Warm Radiance

That's it for an extremely summery, natural glow!

Hope you liked it!

Graduation Look

Hey Beauty Fanatics!

Here's a graduation look that I did over the weekend. If you keep up with my blog, she should look familiar. Here are some pictures of the beautiful Donna and her beautiful mom. The makeup done on Donna is a simple look that adds natural color to her face. It's not too bare, but not too dramatic. Wanted something that would add just a pop of color. This works especially well with brown eyes. On mom, we also wanted to do a look that was natural and lightened up her eyes. She doesn't usually wear too much makeup so this was perfect for her since it was very neutral.

Here's what I used:

On the graduate
Face

-Clinique Moisture Surge

-Smashbox Photo Finish Primer

-Bare Escentuals Foundation in Tan

-Bare Escentuals Tinted Mineral Veil

Cheeks

Night Teal

Hey Beauty Fanatics!

Things have been so hectic lately, which is why I haven't been able to post as often as I would like to. But, I'm back and I'm going to try to keep the posts coming as often and quickly as I can.

Now to the look! This Night Teal look is one that is great for a night out on the town, a bachelorette party (it's that time again!), or clubbing. It's a more dramatic, colorful look for those of you who love color or are just wanting to try something new. Again, it's a really simple look without a million different colors to have to deal with.

Here we go! Tada...

Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation in Natural Tan for Dry/Normal Skin

Bare Escentuals Tinted Mineral Veil

My Website

Hey Beauty Fanatics!

I'm so sorry that it has been a while. I have been involved in so many different projects. I have been getting everything in place for school, which I start in mid June, I've been doing consults for different occasions, helping with end of the year things for the kids, and wait for it....working on getting a website together.

I'm so excited because it will give me a chance to include an online portfolio, my blog, and information about my business and me. That way, I can get the word out to the world. I would like to specialize in weddings, proms, and special occasions. So, my work will reflect that. I have 2 graduations and 2 weddings coming up. As soon as I get those in, I'll post them.

I'm doing my best and working with my cousin to get my website live for everyone to see.

Please let me know what kind of looks you'd like to see so that I can get those posted.
