Hi Bellas,

It's almost 2011, are you excited?  I'm so ready to take on a whole new year with new opportunities for growth and improvement.  But first of all, there's one little event we need to get through first...New Years Party!  I wanted to share with you all some of the hair, makeup, and clothing choices I'm debating on for tomorrow.  Let me know what you all think!

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another bridal post.  This time around, I had a client that came to wanting to get her makeup done for her friend's wedding.  She was a bridesmaid and wanted to make sure she looked great too.  Interestingly enough, she didn't go with the artist the bride hired.  Instead, she picked me because she had seen my work online and liked it.  I've also done a lot of Asian Bride (she's half Asian, half Caucasian) and she wanted someone who could match her skin.  


Hi Bellas,

For those of you that celebrate Christmas, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday this weekend.  I went home to visit my parents in Orlando, and it was nice to have a few days of relaxation and family time.  This year, I tried to film a Christmas look, but for some reason it didn't save.  At least I got pictures!


Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another quick look of the day. Today's look was actually inspired by super awesome celebrity makeup artist Sam Fine. He is definitely a huge source of inspiration for me. If you're on twitter you should definitely try and follow him. He gives lots of great tips for aspiring and pro makeup artists alike.  Pictured is his DVD below, which is definitely on my Christmas list.

Hi Bellas,

I'm finally back with another video!  Sorry for the delay.  I was getting over a virus and busy with school, work and the holidays.  This is a holiday tutorial featuring the Josie Maran Eye Love You Palette as well as Brush Lab brushes.  FYI Maran is pronounced Mer-In, lol, I said it wrong a few times.  I actually wore this look for Thanksgiving.  You'll definitely want to check out this post to see a Holiday look that will work all year long, as well as a chance to win one of 3 amazing Josie Maran Eyeshadow Palettes!

Atlanta Makeup Artist

Hi Bellas,

Today is the last feature on my Caress Girls Night Out Looks.  I'll show you my look for the night and believe me, it took about 10 minutes to do.  When I go out with my girls, I'm usually the last one ready. That's because I want to make sure and do everyone's makeup first since I can knock mine out quick.  When I'm in a pinch for time, I always go for a neutral smokey eye.

Hey Guys,

I need your help.  I am directing makeup for a shoot here in Atlanta on Sunday November 14th from 9:30 am to 6pm.  One of my makeup artist assistants isn't able to make it.  If you are an aspiring makeup artist looking for great hands on experience, I'm looking for you!  I prefer someone with a complete kit and some experience.  This is an unpaid opportunity but you will get amazing hands on experience and the chance to have your work published on a major web site.  If you're interested or know someone who is, please have them email me at makeupbyren@yahoo.com asap.  Thanks guys!

Hi Bellas,

Sorry about no post yesterday.  If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know that I was swamped yesterday.  I had an amazing opportunity to work with Celebrity Makeup Artist AJ Crimson to prep clients for the Soul Train Awards, eek!  I'll make sure and do a complete post on my experience later.  Needless to say, it was an extremely busy day and I didn't get a chance to get a post up - no worries, because I'm back with another tutorial!  One day I happened to come upon an old blog post while searching for a post for one of my readers.  I saw the look and thought, hmmm I liked that one!  I decided to do a tutorial for it :)

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another Halloween makeover! This is a look I did on one of my clients for a Halloween party. It's funny because this time of the year is the only time I really get male clients, lol. He wanted to be a very gruesome looking dead zombie. Here's an inspiration pic that the client sent me. He wanted to have the gore of this clown from zombieland, minus the clown makeup.

Hi Bellas,

I've been meaning to write this review for a long time.  It's not everyday that I review a salon but I definitely want to share with you this find.  We actually found it by chance.  After spending a Saturday afternoon in Midtown Atlanta to see that Salvador Dali exhibit at our local High Museum, we passed by this little salon.  My friend looked it up online and after seeing positive reviews, we decided to give it a chance.

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another look from my Caress Girls Night Out Event.  I love doing makeup on my best friend Alex...she's always willing to try something new and she's definitely not afraid of color or lashes!  She was wearing all black so I could pull out pretty much any color combo with her.  In the end, we decided to go for sultry purples...I love the way the color looks on her skin tone.  I think i'm definitely going to try and recreate this look because the color combination was gorgeous!


Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another Halloween tutorial.  This look was requested by one of my viewers - Lady Bug Makeup.  I wanted to choose another look which you all could actually recreate with what you have at home.  It's a super simple look to pull off, and it's also very wearable.  I know that Lady Bug costumes are very popular out there and I hope this helps one of you!

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another Halloween tutorial. This look is a costume idea that I actually wore with my girls two years ago. I don't know about you all, but my friends and I love to do original and fun group costume ideas.

In this tutorial, I feature a look from the 70's rock star group KISS. It's a super easy look to do, with minimal materials, and you'll definitely get a huge reaction out of it.

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another video!  Today i'll be showing a brand new traincase.  I like to review several different styles so that you all can see all of the options out there.  This applies to professionals who need to transport makeup or even beauty junkies who need somewhere to store their products.  If you like pink and zebra stripes, this one's for you!
