2018

Now that the holiday season is here, its time to brighten things up! Rock red lipstick! f you have difficulty well defining a darker lipstick and have difficulty in painting on a straight darker line, try combining a red powder shadow which will help stop the bleeding, last longer and complete the look.

My favorite is Citrus Brush which is a Sephora brand. I also use it to spray pencil’s (after I resharpen them) and even eye shadow (after wiping them) to make double sure there won’t be a trace of bacteria or germs.

My favorite brush cleaner which I also use to spray pencils and often products for sterilization is Sephora’s Citrus Brush Cleaner.

Still have a few openings!

Halloween is approaching and I am looking forward to working with my special effects makeup and transforming my clients into their chosen character for the evening. Don’t wait till last minute to book your appointment!

Before going to your appointment to have your eyebrows waxed,do your research of what shape will work best with your face. Cut out a few examples from magazines and bring them for reference. Too often than not, I see eyebrows with unnatural shapes for which I have to correct.

My favorite eye makeup remover is Neutrogena extra gentle eye makeup remover pads. It is gentle and won’t burn your eyes as I have found with most other brands. I also suggest that you don’t use the regular makeup remover wipes for your eyes.

Always fun to get in the holiday spirit using your makeup pallet. Yesterday I had a great time painting a client for a 4th of July party. Red, white and blue, striping on the eyes and a star on the top of the cheek completed the look.

I don’t wish to sound redundant but I can’t emphasize strongly enough how important it is to consistently use sun block on your face. I had three clients this past week who believe their foundation has enough protection to protect their faces from the sun. Unfortunately, it is not! I highly recommend a higher level of sun screen and always carry a tube with you as in the heat it will need to be reapplied during the day.

For the past several years I have been invited to be a guest speaker at the Make-up Designory School, known as MUD. I enjoy sharing my experience and advising students how to approach the business and achieve their goals. As a token of their appreciation, they give me a few of their products to try. My favorite is their black eye liner pencil and I just placed a new order for my kit. Needless to say, I’ve tried every brand on the market and highly recommend the MUD product.
