Hi Bellas,

I wanted to share with you another client from my most recent Makeup Bar I participated in.  Tonya was so easy to make over.  She had gorgeous skin and a great eye shape to work with.  I used Jennifer Hudson as my makeup inspiration and went with her signature smokey silver eye with a touch of brown.

For her look, I used a combination of Yaby and MAC shadows.  Remember, when doing photography makeup, it's okay to go a little heavier than you would with everyday makeup to account for bright lighting.  This is especially true when it comes to blush.

Here are a few shots I took prior to the shoot.

Hi Bellas,

I wanted to share with you one of my clients that I made over during a Makeup Bar done a few months ago.  For those of you who don't know, a makeup bar is an event where a group of women come together with cocktails, conversation and mini makeovers and photoshoots.  I work with an assistant to quickly make over a group of women and make them feel like a celebrity for a night. I have several clients which I'll be showing you but today I'll feature Tia.

Tia had a picture out of an ad of Essence Magazine where the model had a very glowy look with a very subtle smokey eye with gold and pink accents.  I loved the way it turned out...very clean and fresh looking.

Here's a shot of her that I took prior to the photoshoot...the colors are more accurate here.

That's it for now, Ciao Bellas!

Hi Bellas!


I wanted to show you some pics of a Makeup Bar I did a few weeks ago. I enlisted fellow blogger Joy from RockStarMuA to come out and assist. It was a lot of fun but tiring too! This makeup bar had a vixen theme...the girls took a lot of picture in lingerie as gifts to their boos for Valentines Day. I couldn't show too many of the pics out of respect to their privacy, he he.

Check out the setup:



Before the madness



After - this is what happens when you're trying to hurry and do multiple ladies at once!



Check out the tat I did. I cropped the picture to give some deceny to the shot. What you can't see is that I did two of these tats...one on each booby! The stencil is an ink transfer filled in with Temptu Dura Color. Looks real huh?




Here I am filling in the tattoo.



Here's one of the ladies I did. She informed me from the beginning that she doesn't like makeup, lol. I knew that was going to be a challenge. I convinced her to go with a smokey look using grays instead of black to tone it down. One thing she told me which I thought was funny was "Did you notice that there are two dark lines on my nose?" He he, I told her "Yup, it's to contour your nose." Fun times.


Here I am touching her up after a costume change. She was wayyyy taller than me so I made her stoop down and balance on my shoulders lol.






I only have one of the shots to show you cuz a lot of the poses were lingerie shots...trying to keep this blog PG!




Here's another before and after. I had worked on this client before at another makeup bar. She wanted some fun color this time. My fav! I really worked on her skin to give her a new canvas.



What you couldn't see were her shoes...tres mignon!






This is a shot of me and joy after the job...tired! lol



Till next time, Ciao Bellas!
