simple makeup for mommy's whos always on the go
A simple as 2 eye shadows, black eye pencil and a mascara makes a big diff. dont forget to add Blush to inhance your features and a lip pencil and lip gloss.dust a small amount of translucent powder and off you go.
Always remember even if you have kids crying and longing for your attention. try to put time for yourself even if its just 10 mins.
eye shadows - bisque and tent-a -tent(i appologize if i had spelled it wrong)
blush- gingerly
Meet Elena
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 | Makeup Tips, Products, Updates | No Comments
Elena is a college student,she is beautiful and she has this accent that you would think shes not from the here. I met her and used this new product called SCULPT by Mac. This product works well.Its a med. to full buildable coverage. As you can see the finish on elena’s makeup. I would always recommned this foundation. But to those who doesnt need the coverage at all i like the stick foundation by Mac for my photoshoots.
tip; always consider what your skin type is(dry,oily,combination) and ask your self do you really need alot of coverage. Women tend to go to full coverage just because they think it last more or stays longer. which does not. I had met alot of people who prefers to hide there beautiful skin with the heaviest coverage big no no. In all honesty it makes a young person look older. So the next time you buy foundation think twice and dont ever hesitate to ask the makeup artist and try to listen……
Id like to thank Elena for being a good model! ill be seing you soon.
Nicole’s Prom
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 | Makeup, Makeup Tips, Updates | No Comments
Nicole and i met in the counter where i work. She came in with her father. And she just has this warm smile, i instantly approached her and found out shes half japaness! great! i love to speak japaness again! their culture,their food are just amazing! Anyways, to cut everything short i got to work with her again. this time for her prom. We decided to make her eye’s dramatic and classic. So that after ten years when she looks back at her picture, you can’t tell which year it was. a good Example: eighties makeup is all bold colors with think eyebrows and red-orange lip color. Usually following trends hurts us. Yes, I gotta admit i was one of those victims. Believe me im hiding those pictures! lol. Also when i work i always ask to see the pattern of the dress. i will match the color but not too matchy2x. You just have to pick one color becoz what will happen is theres too much going on.Pick a focal point to where you want other people to notice you. (Just an advise i always tell everyone.)
I had a great time working with nicole very easy and she listened to my directions without asking me. And i love that about her. I hope to see you soon…
Lesson of the day: Big NO NO…. to Petroleum Jelly
Thursday, January 29th, 2009 | Makeup Tips, Products | No Comments
This couple of months working in a counter i have incountered clients who uses Petroleum Jelly as there moisturizer for there face. It is a big mistake. We all know it is cheap but it is not worth it if it is clogging your pores and will give you black heads later on. Do you really want that? Generally, petroleum jelly is safe to use. Rarely, however, inhaling fat-based substances (lipoids) — such as petroleum jelly or mineral oil — for prolonged periods can cause lung problems. It is still used in most of the cosmetic companies but pls choose carefully and read the ingredients you dont want paraffins into your system.
Now a days there are a lot of organic products to choose from one of my favorites is the AVEDA Hydrating Lotion.
tip 1. Always consider your skin type before buying any moisturizer. if your oily skin. ofcourse dont get the one that is oil based because it will make it worse. Dont afraid or get intimidated to ask help. The lady in the counter knows more about the product than you do.
Tip 2. When your using your foundation on top of your moisturizer always consider getting the same product line. think about it as Shampoo and Conditioner. If you used a different conditioner what happend to your hair? it contradicts its purpose. Now here you come complaining why your foundation doesnt last the whole day. Because your moisturizer has different ingredient that counter acts with your foundation. So choose carefully when buying a moisturizer and do your home work!
I hope this comes as a warning to everyone and please just leave the use of petroleum jelly to DIAPER RASH!
