Last week I received a couple of really great questions for
WHATCHAWANNAKNOW WEDNESDAY!!
Paula, wrote in and asked:
Question: If you were to buy one (just one) concealer for under eye coverage and blemishes, which one would you go for?
Answer: That’s a really tough question!!! I honestly can’t answer that question without asking a few of my own!!! What is the skin’s condition (is it oily, dry, wrinkled or smooth)? What is the skins natural undertone? What color are the dark circles and blemishes that are being covered (blue, purple, grey or red)? What’s your current makeup routine?
The answers to all of those questions would determine which concealer I would recommend. I’m not brand specific, there are several concealers out there that work beautifully. I personally have at least three concealers in rotation!! I know, you’re probably not a makeup junkie like me, and three concealers might be a little excessive so here are a few guidelines to help you pick your perfect concealer!!
If your dark circles are blue then yellow based concealers will work great
For brown blemishes use a “warmer” toned concealer
If the skin is wrinkled, try a drier formula concealer that won’t
settle into the wrinkles, but apply with a wet sponge so that it doesn’t look cakey.
If the under eye area needs moisture, try a concealer that has more emollient
Sometimes more is less (If you buy a concealer with morecoverage
you can get away with using a lot less!!
Don’t forget to prep your skin with a great moisturizer!!

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 info at doihavelipstickonmyteeth.com
check back every Monday to see the transformations.
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
Order in the court! It’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice. Have you seen Style networks show Tacky House yet? If so then I’m sure you’ve already fallen in love with design hottie Kelly Edwards.
Check out Kelly’s rap sheet:
Kelly’s brows are sparse, but i wanted to soften the color so i bleached them
Kelly was such a good sport, she let me do whatever I wanted with her!!
Check out more from Kelly here on this clip from Tacky House. I can’t take the credit for Kelly’s look on the show, but I would definitely love to work with her again!!!
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!!!
All rise, it’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! You guys know that my obsession with eyebrows is never ending!!! When met Julie I just had to get my hands on her!!
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!!!
All rise, it’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! My inbox has been flooded with questions about what makeup I used on my gender bending video “X-Files”. So I figured I’d repost that makeover as a MUGSHOT and share all of the details!!
Check out Anthony’s rap sheet:
First I prepped the skin with an ultra creamy moisturizer
Brows were lightened with facial bleach to soften the expression
Dermablend and RCMA foundations were used for a flawless coverage
What’s your fantasy? Whoooaaa hold on a second — I meant your G rated, suitable for children fantasy!!! HAHAHa!! Catch me this Saturday on USA’s show Character Fantasy. I’m making a girl’s fantasy come true!!! For all the fellas that read this blog, you won’t be disappointed –Character Fantasy is airing during the commercial breaks of Casino Royale, so there will be plenty of sexy Bond girls to hold your attention!!
All rise!! It’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice. This week we’ve got a case that was a lot of fun to tackle. Meet my friend Lauren. I’ve been doing makeup for quite a while now, and to this day, I’ve never met a bride like Lauren. Lauren was absolutely the most laid back bride I’ve ever met! On her wedding day, there were no last minute jitters and no minor details being fussed over. The bride and groom were in chill mode!!! In fact, before the wedding, the couple played bocce ball and shared a few beers with wedding guests on the beach. Consequently, that’s when my girl got sunburned!!!
After the cream soaked in a bit, I applied Shu Uemura base control in green
(this product cancels out redness and saved my life that particular day!!!!)
It’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! Bright colors are all the rage this summer, try it on your eyes, lips or even your fingertips!! Well it doesn’t get any brighter than neon!! Try it if you dare!!!
Order in the court, it’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! Karla Jones, my mother, has had a great couple of years. She’s celebrated her 61st birthday and also married the love of her life !! With such a busy schedule, Mamacita hadn’t had time to pamper herself.
Check out Karla’s rap sheet:
First I groomed her brows
creme facial bleach was used to lighten the brow color
Get ready for the drama to ensue as MTV’s reality show the City returns Tuesday night at 10:30. I recently worked with some of the ladies for this season’s promos. I nearly died from cardiac arrest swooning over the fashions that were wheeled in for the shoot!!! Ladies, if any of those Louboutins need a babysitter, they can come stay with me anytime!!!
It’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! Summer is upon us, and if you’re like me and want to look tanned without actually tanning, then this MUGSHOT is for you!!
YIPPEE, I had the pleasure of being a featured contributor on Stylecaster, one of my favorite cyber hangouts!! Check out the article for a few of my tips on making dry skin juicy!! Don’t forget to drop me a line if you have any beauty questions or need beauty advice. I’ll make sure to post the answers here on Wednesdays,

Winter, Summer, Spring and Fall, I’m a lizard!!! My skin is Sahara desert dry!! I’m constantly engaged in a battle against ash. Unfortunately ash is a formidable opponent, it has a tendency to overtake an elbow, knee or the heel of a foot at any given moment!! With that in mind, I try my darndest to be armed and ready!! I carry a travel sized bottle of lotion in my purse, and I keep a vat of bag balm on my bedside table. Recently, I ran across a soap that has shea butter as its key ingredient — Hmm, I could start my moisture strategy in the shower!!! Without any hesitation I purchased a bar of Nubian Heritage’s African Black Soap.
The soap smells fantastic. My skin felt pretty good. But holy crap, I couldn’t stand how dirty this soap made my shower!! It didnt occur to me that black soap creates black suds!! Black suds make a white tub look like a grey filthy mess!! Everything that the soap touched had a black skid mark.
Needless to say, the African Black Soap was released from active duty. I don’t have the man power to fight ash and filth!! *SIGHHHHHH* The battle continues….

Today I had the chance to go on a grown up field trip!!!! I made my way over to OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE COSMETICS, and sampled all of their goodies. It’s such a fun cosmetics line with vivid, bold colors that other lines wouldn’t dare produce. The color names are a riot!! I can’t wait until someone asks me what shade I’m wearing on my lips and I can blurt out HOOCHIE!! You think I’ll get punched in the face? Here are a few shots that I took from my excursion!!
