MUGSHOT MONDAY

 

Hey, Hey, It’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice.  Today’s case was a challenge.  I happened to be working with Nico Malvaldi, a photographer who adores film noir.  Nico wanted me to do a french femme fatale look on the model that we were working with.  I realized early on that she didn’t have the typical bone structure that I’ve always associated with the look.  Ohhhhh  I love a challenge.

Here’s the rap sheet:

  • I started with a cream foundation to even out all skin discoloration
  • I used an intense plum shadow by MAC called beauty marked
    to smoke out the eye area
  • the lip line was extended with MAC magenta lip liner
  • hot pink lipstick was then applied on top of the liner





Check out our femme fatale in action!!!!

WHATCHAWANNAKNOW WEDNESDAY

 

 

This week’s question for WHATCHAWANNAKNOW WEDNESDAY, is actually one that I have to answer by observation and not experience.

 

Question:  The weather has been so hot that I’m only wearing a limited amount of makeup  (if any) What can i use for my hair to make sure that my hairstyle doesn’t wilt also????

 

Answer: I’m not a hair expert, but I’ve been on plenty of photo shoots with a bunch of fantastic hairstylists!!! One thing that I recognize so many of them using is Elnett hairspray.  I cant remember that last time I’ve worked with someone who wasn’t using Elnett–especially since you don’t have to go abroad to get it anymore…  Anywhoooo,  the folks over at Elnett are sending you a personal stash of the gold stuff to keep your hair looking hot in this heat!!!  That’s not all– Elnett is also sending one randomly selected Facebook fan (click here) a can of the gold stuff!!  If you haven’t clicked the “like” button yet, what are you waiting for!?!?!!

 


OMG!!  Kourtney Kardashian is serious about her Elnett!!!

Maybe she’s grabbing some for sisters Kim and Khloe too…

MUGSHOT MONDAY


Order in the court!  It’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice.  I got an email recently from Karolina complaining that whenever she wears eyeliner, she feels like she’s starring in a bad 80’s movie.  It was my goal to bring that eyeliner into the new millennium!!

Check out Karolina’s rap sheet:

  • Karolina’s skin has been reacting to the humidity,
    so we used a tiny bit of moisturizer.
  • Giorgio Armani foundation was used in 4.5 and 6.5
  • Benefit’s hoola bronzer was used on checks, forehead, and the bridge of the nose
  • The Balm in Hot Mama was used on the apples of the cheek
  • We used shadow as a liner to give Karolina a softer look



Karolina looks totally tubular
(who remembers that saying????)  For sure!!!!

THREE THINGS I LEARNED ABOUT BEING ON TV

 

You have no idea how exciting it was for me to have the chance to do a makeover on TV!!  The experience was pretty freakin’ fantastic!!!  I’d spent the last three years doing makeup behind the scenes at the Rachael Ray show, but had never had the opportunity to work my magic on camera!!!   Lucky for me, the extremely awesome folks over at USA’s show Character Fantasy gave me a shot!!!

 

 


Here are 3 things that I learned about being on the tellie!!!

 

1.  A little clinical strength antiperspirant never hurt nobody!!  Out of nowhere, I started sweating like a dieter in a donut shop (thanks for that one David).  Had I not double-downed on the deodorant, it would’ve been pit stain city!!!!

 

2.  Spanx are your friend!!  A great look starts with a good foundation garment.  Just like a great makeup look starts with a great foundation.  Its all relative!!!

 

3.  Invest in the dress!!  Most of my stylist friends usually say invest in shoes and hanbags, because those items can make a cheap outfit look expensive.  Well in TV land, your feet may not show, and more than likely, you wont have your handbag on your shoulder!!  I broke the bank for these lovelies, but they never saw any air time!!!

I had a blast doing Character Fantasy!!

Big hugs to all involved!!!

FUNNY GIRL

 

Have you ever met someone that makes you laugh so hard a snot bubble comes out of your nose? Well that’s what happened to me when I worked with comedian Amy Schumer.  Amy had me laughing like a hyena when I did her makeup for Cosmopolitan.  That girl is wrong on so many different levels!!!  I seriously couldn’t believe some of the stuff that came out of her mouth!!!

WHATCHAWANNAKNOW WEDNESDAY

 

 

This week’s quesion for WHATCHAWANNAKNOW WEDNESDAY, comes from an uber talented and crafty gal.  Miss Carla is about to become Mrs. Carla!!  CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

 

Carla’s Question:  I just got engaged(!) and was wondering if you could recommend the ultimate, waterproof?, longlasting, makeup essentials for the big day. Don’t want to look like a hot mess towards the end of the night. ..or do I?

 

Answer:  There are quite a few waterproof products out there that are awesome.  I love Makeup Forever’s Aqua Eyes liners for weddings.  Couple that with your favorite waterproof mascara and you won’t have to worry about those dreaded runny eyes!!!  Uuughh ohhh, I’m probably gonna sound like a commercial, but Makeup Forever also has a great waterproof foundation called mat velvet matifying foundation, it’s a budge-proof formula that gives the skin a velvety matte finish.   After the makeup is completed, I like to spray Ben Nye’s Final Seal or Kryolan’s Fixer Spray, over the face.  Both of these sprays extend the life of the makeup and will prevent you from looking like a hot mess by the end of the night!!


Check out, Carla’s site, She makes the cutest Fancypacks!!!

I rock mine faithfully!!!
