MUGSHOT MONDAY


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
  • The Balm in Hot Mama was used on the apples of the cheek
  • We used shadow as a liner to give Karolina a softer look



Karolina looks totally tubular
(who remembers that saying????)  For sure!!!!

MUGSHOT MONDAY

 

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!!!

Check out Lauren’s rap sheet:




Gosh, I heart weddings!! (sniff, sniff)
