Over the weekend I joined the HELP-PORTRAIT project, it’s a movement among photographers and industry professionals doing portraits of people that aren’t able to afford traditional family portraiture. I volunteered to do makeup for the families at the El Puente center in Brooklyn, New York. We were fortunate to work with sixty families!!! I enjoyed laughing with the kids and giving the moms makeup tips that they’ll be able to add to their daily routines!! Here are some of the photos from the event taken by Monika.

Special thanks to Shu Uemura for donating cosmetics for this event!!
I’ve never considered myself one of the cool kids. I’m the chick that’s accident prone. I’ll fall UP or DOWN the stairs!!! When I put forth an effort to be cool, I fail miserably . I tried to be cool one time in France, I was flirting with a gorgeous guy that I met in a housewares store. As I turned to say goodbye, I tripped over a chair!!! Not cool at all!!! I’d really like to be cool!! I want to be Sean Puffy Combs cool!!! Puffy’s so cool, he wears sunglasses at night!!! Hahaha!! If I wore sunglasses at night I’d definitely french kiss the concrete… Recently, I found it necessary to pop on a pair of sunglasses after the sun had set, check out the video below to see if I’m even coming close to cool….
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
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!!!!
I’d say this case is officially closed!!!
Are you or someone you know interested in having your makeup done? Have you fallen into a rut with your day to day look? Do you have a hard time choosing colors that will look great on you? Do you have a big event that you need to look fab for? If so, send me a picture and your reason why you want your face painted and you could be next on MUGSHOT MONDAY!!! All participants must reside in, or plan to visit NYC. Mail photos and info to mugshot@doihavelipstickonmyteeth.com
check back every Monday to see the transformations.
Just for you!!! Hot off the presses!!! I’m baring it all in my never-before-seen, XXX Penthouse magazine cover!!!! Check out the exclusive steamy cover right here on DIHLOMT.com!!!
Sometimes as a freelance makeup artist, I get called to do a job that sounds bananas!! The other day I got one of those calls from Penthouse (the men’s magazine)!!! GAsssssppppp!!!!
You want me to put makeup where???!!!! Hahahaha!!!
All jokes aside, the job that I did for the magazine was PG-13. I didn’t have to put makeup on anybody’s anything (aside from their faces). The models were wearing Halloween costumes for an upcoming feature in the magazine. THEY WERE FULLY CLOTHED AT ALL TIMES!!! The magazine staff was friendly, and way less horny than I had imagined them to be!! Actually, the staff members that I met were mostly women– really cool women! Yep, I know, this story isn’t the least bit scandalous! In fact, the only scandalous thing was this costume that I popped into for a few giggles!!
MMmmm!!! Do you remember Fruit Stripe gum? All that yummy sweet goodness… I could chew an entire pack of Fruit Stripe in less than fifteen minutes!!
I used to get in so much trouble as a kid for smacking on my Fruit Stripe!!! I’d irritate my dad to the point that he’d say, “stop popping that damn gum and learn how to chew!” Recently, I had the opportunity to do Fruit Stripe inspired eyeshadow on a photo shoot with photographer James Mahon!!
Ladies and gents, here’s a little something for you to chew on from the shoot!!!
PS. Smack if you like, Dad’s not around!!
Oh how i love shiny, pretty things!! So of course when I tried MAKEUP FOREVER’S FLASH COLOR No. 11, I fell in love with its patent leather quality. Its creamy texture requires a bit of attention, but ultimately the payoff is unadultareted rebellion! My inner bad gal cant wait to pair this shadow with liquid leggings for a night out dancing with the girls. In the meantime, I had the opportunity to test drive the shadow on Claudia. Here’s a behind the scenes video from that photoshoot with photographer GIANLUCA FELLINI, beneath the brooklyn bridge! Check out Jo-Jo the attack dog, but clearly, he’s not the only cutie pie in the video!!! xoxo
