MUGSHOT MONDAY

 

Order in the court, it’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! This week we’re featuring Portia.  When I met Portia, I knew that I wanted to give her a layered nude effect that would bring out her skin tone.  We decided to play with textures and sheen to keep her looking youthful and fresh, while adding some ooomphhh!  

slide0013

 

 

Check out Portia’s rap sheet:

  • First I groomed her brows
  • I used a heavy cream moisturizer to prep the skin
  • I used liquid foundation mixed with golden highlighter on skin
  • A tiny bit of creamy concealer was used in the under eye area
  • Nars Laguna bronzer was used on cheekbones and hairline
  • Sheer golden gloss was used on the lips
  • A pair of strip lashes were added to emphasize eyes

 

 

 

Quick tip: If your body is tan , make sure that your foundation on the outer regions of your face matches your neck and arms.  Or use a bronzer to even out your skin.

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:

FIVE MINUTES TO FUNKINESS


I should’ve been a rapper!!  Unfortunately, my rhyming skills are very basic.  I liken them to a Dr. Seuss riddle, “cat in the hat and all of that.”  Go figure, my rap career was over before it began!!! Nevertheless, my love for hip hop music has not waned.  Check out what happens when makeup and music collide in the hip hop inspired video below.  P.S.  Let me know if you too are afflicted with dance face…
