Saturday Sept 11, I did a wedding makeup for a beautiful bride named Lia. I had an artist friend of mine come to help me with job. The bride was very easy going and was a pleasure to work with. The bridemaids were great. This was a dream job.
Not only did I get to work with some great clients, they also fed me coffee and AMAZING homemade amond cookies!!!

Tamara (MUA) and I first worked on the Mothers of the Bride and Groom. They had just got back from the salon and in great spirts. Then we worked on the 3 Brides maids and finaly the blushing bride! They were a stunning group of women.

All the best of luck to the happy couple!

If you are intrested in covering your brows for drag, a Halloween costume or just to hide a part of your brows to change the shape.... try these tips!

Here are a few different ways that you can cover your eye brows.

Soaping: Damped a bar of soap. Use your cosmetic spatula to scrape some product up and apply to over your brow in the direction of hair growth until your eyebrows are flat.  Make sure that all hair is covered under a thin layer of soap. Let dry.  Apply concealer, foundation, powder and your done!

Glue Stick: Use a washable glue stick, running it in the opposit direction of the hair.  Once the finer hairs are covered, run the stick over in the direction of hair growth.  Let dry. Scrape some  glue off and place it over the entire area, covering any loose hairs. Let dry. Add your concealer, foundation, powder and your done! (This method was used for the pictures in this blog!)

Derma Wax: Apply wax over the eye brows in the direction of hair growth. Smooth out wax with a spatula making sure there are no bumps and edges are thinned out. Apply a sealer over the waxed eye brow area. Let dry. Appy concealer, foundation, powder and your done!
(Derma Wax is used by morticians to make cadavers look fine for an open caset funeral.)

Nose & Scar Putty: Comes in light, med and dark shades. Apply the wax over the brow in the direction of the hair growth. Smooth out wax with a spatula making sure there are no bumps. Apply a sealer over the waxed eye brow area. Let dry. Apply concealer, foundation, powder and your done!

Tip: When using any of the wax applications, you can apply Spirit Gum (cosmetice glue) to the eyebrow to stick it down and make it smooth. to prep it then apply the wax over. DON'T forget to buy Spirit Gum remover!!!

Saturday Aug 1st I did a makeup trial for a bride and her mother. Her wedding is in September and she wanted to try looks for her wedding. She presented me with a look that she already had done on her before, and another magazine of a model with pink makeup. Since she saw what the other makeup looked like we did the pink makeup.

We played around for a big getting the right foundadtion for her. I used Makeup Forever HD Foundation #15 along with the HD setting powder. Using MAC Sushi Flower, in the crease with  MAC Expensive Pink on the centre of the eyelid, and MAC Naked Lunch in the iner corner and as a brow highlight. It was a light pink look with a custom pink lipstick.

She was glowing!

Her mother had lovley sandy (Inner corner) to deep brown (outter corner) transition eyeshadow with a tawny blush and coral custom lip stick.

Congrats to Tery & Bill for getting hitched on Saturday July 3. It was a beautiful wedding.

Tery looked breathtaking. 

I was hired to do the wedding makeup. That included ceremony makeup for the bride, Mother of bride, mother of groom, two brides mades and one of her aunts. Lots and lots of touch ups for all, and a change of makeup for the reception. It went very well! I had a great time doing it and the most important thing - The bride was happy! :o)

My best amiga stoped by after work yesterday to get her makeup done. She is in the bridal party for a wedding that I will be working on this Saturday. After my recomendation, she picked up Makeup for Ever HD Foundation from Sephora. We chatted, giggled and got down to work. This is the look we came up with.

This look is for the wedding ceremony. In her words Lucy Lui eye makeup useing MAC Maked Lunch, Shroom, White Frost and a brown color I can't remember at this time. ( I will post the color when I have my Palette infront of me.) MAC cream based rose blush on the cheeks toped with MAC Earth to Earth blush to set the cream blush. Ben Nye's Contour #1 was used to contour her face and noes. The lips were created with MAC's Lure lip liner and a home made  lipstick mixed with Mac's Eaden Rocks and another color I have in a ramdom lip palette. I added a touch of highlight in the middle of the lip useing Naked lunch eye shadow. Also used for highlighting the face is MAC's Shell cream makeup. There will be false lashes used for the day.

For the reception, I will replace the brown color in the outter V with MAC Sushi Flower. Everything else will remain the same.

Last night after I put Nathan down to sleep I felt a little creative. There was some makeup that I bought at the latest Estee Lauder/MAC sale that I didn't use yet. So, I thought it would be fun to try them out...
But no. I didn't end up using any new items in this look.

This first look reminds me to the different shades of green grass. It's a cool layered effect.
It made my green eyes look more brown.
