I did my very first New York Fashion week show!!! I had the privilege to do the Michael Kors show!!! I’ve been living in New York three years, and hadn’t done the shows yet!!! What on earth was I waiting for?!!!! It was a blast!!! The lead artist of the show was Dick Page. I heart Dick Page!!! His work is flawless!! Being on his team was an honor. My rockstar moment occurred when Dick said that my makeup was beautiful!!! I could have fainted. Here are a couple of pictures of my work from the show, enjoy!!!
It’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! Sometimes I work for food!!! I met Morgan in the hallway of my building, and had the pleasure of doing her makeup for MUGSHOT MONDAY. As a thank you, she invited me to her home for a lovely dinner.
Check out Morgan’s rap sheet:
Morgan’s skin was prepped with moisturizer
Eyelashes were curled with eyecurl 2
Minimal makeup was used to even out skin tone
Brows were filled in with brow powder
Makeup was set with a sheer veil of translucent powder
Makeup makes me happy!!!

All rise!!! It’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! One thing that I really enjoy about writing this blog, is that I get the chance to meet fantastic women from all over the world who inspire me. Ivane is one of those women…
Wheeew, this week was pretty hectic!!! I announced the winner to The CUPID CAN KISS IT Valentine’s contest, in which one lucky reader won a date with me and Gregg Giannillo to have her hair and makeup done before she hit the town with her actual V-Day date!! We all had a blast!! Check out Kelly, the winner’s, smoking hot transformation below:
In other news!! It was New York Fashion Week and I got to work on Project Runway winner Irina Shabayeva’s show. Amazing clothes!!! The collection was about the freedom of flight. A lot of the pieces had hand painted feathers. Gorgeous!!! I would love to own this collection. Here are a few shots of some of the models that I worked on at the show:
Order in the court!!! It’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! I met Stephanie on a cold Saturday afternoon. She was quiet, sweet and had amazing jewelry!! The challenge for me was to make her sparkle as much as her baubles!
Check out Stephanie’s rap sheet:
Stephanie’s skin was prepped with a soothing moisturizer
a touch of red neutralizing concealer was used to balance skin tone
Neutral lip liner outlines the lips
A couple coats of mascara were added to give her eyes a boost
All rise, it’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! It took a while for Julie and I to connect. I’ve been trying to MUG this girl for months!!! Well Lookey, Lookey I finally got my hands on her!!

First I prepped the skin with an ultra creamy moisturizer
Brows were filled in and shaped with brow powder
Cream concealer was used under the eyes to counteract darkness
White liner was used to rim the eyes

AAAhhh, the fond memories of being a kid on the playground… Remember how you’d actually ask another child if they’d like to be your friend? Back then, it wasn’t official until you asked. Dating was simple too, a boy would ask you to be his girlfriend (I still like to be asked– otherwise I think we’re just hanging out…hahaha!!) Today, I’m taking it back to the old school–Will you be my friend? DO I HAVE LIPSTICK ON MY TEETH is gearing up for some exciting changes in 2010, but those changes won’t work without friends like you!!! Let’s get to know each other!!! Let’s be friends…
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!!
Order in the court, it’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! My good friend Roxanne recently got a sassy low maintenance haircut!!! Hubba Hubba!!! We wanted to compliment her new cut with an equally snazzy makeup look that is quick and simple to achieve.
Check out Roxanne’s rap sheet:
Roxanne has great skin so we only used a dab of foundation
Liquid liner was used on the upper lid
Shimmering blush was added to the apples of the checks
Two coats of mascara were used on lashes
Chocolate shadow was used in the crease of the lid
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
Order in the court, it’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! I bonded with Meredith over a JCrew jacket!!! Meredith has been described by her friends as a chic preppy chick. In keeping with that theme, we gave our little prepster a classic polished look that will compliment any and all of her JCrew jackets!!!
Check out Meredith’s rap sheet:
Meredith’s brows were bleached with Jolen facial bleach
Brows were filled in and shaped with a blond eyebrow pencil
Skin was evened out with a creamy concealer
Velvety powder was used to tone down shine
A dab of nude lip gloss was added in the center of the lips
Bronzer was used around the hairline and in the hollows of the cheeks
Order in the court, it’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! I love it when I meet a woman who doesn’t usually wear makeup, but is open and willing to wear a look that is high glam and far from the barely there makeup look. Meet Tawana, I heart her!!!!
Check out Tawana’s rap sheet:
Tawana has a varied skin tone so I used two foundations
Brows were filled in and shaped with an eyebrow pencil
Eyes were rimmed with a kohl liner for added depth
Amethyst shadow was blended in with black to create a smokey effect
A rich plum lipstick was used on the lips with a dab of gloss
All rise, it’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! I’m always nervous when I put makeup on a makeup artist!! It’s kind of like cooking one of your mother’s recipes when you’ve invited her over for dinner.. She’ll know if you used margarine instead of real butter!!! Meet Robin, a co-worker and friend of mine at the Rachael Ray show.
Check out Robin’s rap sheet:
First I prepped the skin with an ultra creamy moisturizer
Brows were filled in and shaped with an eyebrow pencil
Its MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice. This weeks case involves a student headed back to class. Little Miss Amy is back in the books, but this year she’ll be sporting a new look. Amy wanted to pump up her eyes, but she needed a look that was easy to do in the morning.
Check out Amy’s rap sheet:
Amy hasn’t decided to shape her brows yet, so we left them natural
Skin was prepped with a light moisturizer
Liquid foundation by Face Atelier was used to even out complexion
Golden bronzer was used near hairline and on cheeks
Clear gloss was used on lips
Time for class!!
This case is closed, summer is over, and school is in session!!

It’s that time again, MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice. This weeks case involves a California gal named Karen. Karen loves makeup, and was willing to try just about anything. However, her main concerns are redness and the lack of radiance to her skin. Here’s what we did to hook Karen up:
Check out Karen’s rap sheet:
Eyebrows were bleached to lift color so that I could subtly change their shape
Skin was prepped with Shu Uemura base control in green to counteract redness
Liquid foundation was mixed with highlighter to create a dewy finish
Peachy blush with shimmer was used on the apples of the cheeks
Golden bronzer was used near hairline
Pink based lip color and gloss were used on lips
I love dewy skin!!
Karen got a cute hair cut from Carrie Fernow (320)492-2329 and left glowing! This case is closed!!
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….
Have you ever worked with someone that you want to punch in the face? You know, that person that makes you want to get Ike Turner-ish!! Be honest!! There’s someone at the gig that you’d like to make feel the pain!!! HAHAHA!!! Well that was NOT the case when I worked with Reshma Shetty from the show Royal Pains. Working with Reshma was painless!!! She’s the kinda girl that you want to hang out with!!! Check out Reshma on the season finale of Royal Pains tonite at 10 on USA.

As a kid, I would sit in front of the TV and nerd out, watching Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. That show made me want to become one with nature… Imagine me as a feral child roaming the jungle like Tarzan, raised by wolves, swinging from vines —okay you’re right, that’s pretty far fetched for a girl that’s mildly afraid of dogs!! I wouldn’t last a second in the jungle!! But for some reason I have this dying desire to go on safari. The closest that I’ve gotten so far was a recent work trip to California’s wine country. We visited Safariwest which is a wildlife preserve on over 400 acres with hundreds of exotic animals in a natural habitat. Here are the pictures from that trip:
We’ve already established that I would’ve failed as a feral child! The lack of plumbing and air conditioning in the jungle would have definitely been a deal breaker for me. So to satisfy my inner jungle girl I put a fresh zebra striped Konad on my nails. ROOOOaaaaarrr.
The votes have been tallied for DIHLOMT’s first MUGSHOT MONDAY case that went to trial!!! You, the jury, have decided that the best way to shake up Kelly’s makeup routine is by applying a sizzling hot red lip!!!!! Thanks to everyone who cast their votes!! Are you in a makeup rut? click here and you could be the next MUGSHOT MONDAY!!!
I’M ON DRUGS
For the past month, I’ve been hitting the Latisse pretty hard. Latisse is a prescription drug used to make your lashes grow. My goal is to reach Betty Boopdom (check out July 14th post for a visual!). It took a few weeks, but I feel like the little buggers have grown a bit!!
Lately, I’ve noticed a few changes in my eyes, so I called my doctor to make sure everything was alright. Here’s our conversation:
Optimum results occur by week 16. Check back in a few weeks to see if I’ve reached Betty Boopdom. Thanks again to Dr. Spencer for the Latisse! Click here if you want your lashes to grow.
