Hi Bellas,

Have you ever heard that certain clothes make you feel powerful?  Let's say a power suit, or maybe a red power tie for men?  Well there are certain makeup looks that make me feel powerful - red lips in particular.  Red is such a classic color choice, but it's also bold and brave at the same time.  Lately, I've been obsessed with rocking Make Up For Ever new Artist Rouge lipsticks including my new favorite red lippy.  Check it out!


Hi Bellas,

Happy Monday.  I thought I'd start the week with an inspirational post to get us started on the right foot.  Last week, I attended the Essence and Johnson and Johnson Path to Power:  Lessons in Self-Care event in Atlanta.  It was an awesome event and just the thing I needed to learn how to better take care of myself while succeeding in business any my personal life.  For important life lessons, check this post out!

Hi Bellas,

Who doesn't love new lip colors. Anytime I get new colors to try, I feel like it's a brand new outfit, a brand new look.  Now that we're transitioning out of summer, I really want to switch up my lip game from all the nude pinks into some bold fun colors.  Make Up For Ever's new line of Artist Roue lipsticks are literally to die for.  If you're a lipstick junkie, please check this out.

Hi Bellas,

I wanted to share with you another client before and after.  I love when my clients want to have a little bit of fun with makeup.  I had an Asian client who came to me because she trusted me to work on her Asian features.  It was her birthday and she wanted something outside of her norm.  We went for a fun smokey look.  It's funny because growing up, I heard so many things that you shouldn't do with Asian makeup - don't apply dark colors, don't apply too much eyeliner...well in this post I show you that sometimes you should break those rules.  Check it out!

Hi Bellas,

So I wanted to share with you an awesome makeup find.  I was at Marshalls last week and I happened to find some Kat Von D Shade and Light Blushes in the aisle near the check out counter, score!  They were deeply discounted and in perfect condition.  I wanted to share my find with you as well as my thoughts on the blushes so you can see whether or not they're worth checking out.


Hi Bellas,

Who's ready for another makeup video?  Today i'm showing you another makeover.  I'm glamming up my lovely niece.  I was so excited to glam her up and work on her beautiful deep, rich skin tone.  In this video, I give you tons of tips on how to apply makeup on deeper skin tones.  Check it out!

Hi Bellas,

Who doesn't love a before and after?  I'm catching up on posting pictures of clients i've done in recent months.  Today i'm showing a very pretty natural makeover on an Asian client.  Oftentimes I do book my Asian clients because as an Asian makeup artist, they trust that I can work with their ethnic features where interestingly enough we still may have different eye shapes.  I think that all makeup artists should be able to work with all faces.  It's all about challenging yourself.  Check out the before and after!
