MUGSHOT MONDAY

 

It’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!!  I love aggressive eyebrows!!  Whenever I find a face that can handle a pair of hairy looking caterpillar brows, I’m quick to paint them on!!  Take a look at how they frame a face.

MUGSHOT MONDAY

 

It’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! When I met Joan she immediately told me that she does not like makeup!!! Uhhhooohhh!!  I knew that I had to use a very simple approach in order for her to feel good about what I’d done.  I’ve always said that the biggest transformations happen on the inside, so my challenge was to make her feel comfortable wearing (what i consider) a minimal amount of makeup without feeling overdone.

Check out Joan’s rap sheet:

  • Joan’s skin was prepped with moisturizer
  • I used a tweezerman tweezers to remove the super fine brow hairs
  • Brightening concealer was used under the eyes
  • Brows were filled in with brow powder
  • Nars Laguna bronzer was used in the hollows of the cheeks
  • Benefit georgia blush was used on the apples of the cheeks
  • Laura Mercier stardust was used to give the skin luminosity
  • Bobbi Brown orange lipstick was used with a sheer gloss on top

 

I later heard that Joan wore her makeup all day.  The biggest transformations happen on the inside!!!

Order in the court, it’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!!  I was introduced to Val by my friend Andrew.  Val and Andrew work together and occasionally attend a boxing class in the evenings.  It goes without saying that this gal knows how to throw a punch, but we wanted to give her a new look that packs a punch!!!

Check out Val’s rap sheet:

  • Val has great brows so I simply used brow gel for grooming
  • We used an eggplant shadow near the lash line
  • Lilac shadow was blended into the eggplant up to the crease
  • Highlighter was layered over a nectar colored blush



 

She’s a knockout!!!!!!
