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!!!
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!!!
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!!
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!!

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!!!
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!!!
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!!
Some of you may know that I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rachael Ray for the past few years. Rach fans everywhere always ask what products I’m using on Mrs. Ray!! Alright folks, here’s a list of all the goodies that I used on Rach’s April magazine cover!! I’ve even made shopping easy for you–just click the links and you too can look good enough to eat!! Yum-O!!!
Hey, Hey, Hey, it’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! Fall is upon us and we’re playing with some of the season’s hottest shades!!! What better person to show off fall’s fabness than our friend Nicole.
