Thursday, February 4th, 2010 | Products | No Comments
Here’s the newest break-through that we are all have been waiting for,i myself is a true believer and i have big hopes that alot of people would know more about this product. I maybe working with MAC and helping it promote it but try it for 6 weeks ladies and if you ask dermatologist about this .they would normally just say its impossible. Here’s the reason MAC skin refine zone has an ingredient that’s called SODIUM MANNOSE PHOSPHATE. This key ingredient itself minimizes your pores by the time you apply it. It is now repromoted in the counter and i think if I’am correct it will be available by march. And i will be writing it again on my blog.

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

We all first met at Lindsay’s pad. I gave them trial makeup. i require that too because on the day of the wedding i want to be prepared.Foundation shade has to match well so when they take pictures the outcome is good. They had mentioned it would be an indoor wedding.And as a makeup artist i know there will be a difference with the lighting. On the day of the wedding (this is common) it turned out that they had changed there mind and decided to do an outdoor wedding. So on the spot i had to change the makeup. The foundation shade is still the same. (This is a good example why i require trial makeup, so this way Iam prepared for any changes).The day was beautiful the sun was shining. Inshort a perfect day to get married. Lindsay had a very elegant wedding dress.love it!( I dont have a picture to show everyone but she looked good in it) Kathy wore a navy blue dress which was cute! Anyways, I had a great time working with them. Id like to take this opportunity to thank you for trusting me and letting me be part of your life in some ways.
Kathy’s look i used mac eyeshadows:deep truth,carbon,crystal,vex as the highlighter. ( for everyone who has asked me which one is the highlighter VEX )
For her lips: spice pencil,freckletone, beaux
Meet Elena

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.
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!
