Gold & Brown eyes

Today I freelanced at MAC and since it’s been awhile, I always like to check MAC’s website to see what the current looks are so that I am prepared to match whatever collection it is that they are selling at the time. Since it’s Holiday season, I knew there would be some really pretty looks. My inspiration was this look…Click Here!

Of course this is just my interpretation since I don’t have all of the colors.

Eyes:

For the gold, I actually packed on chrome yellow and then put alittle bit of Woodwinked on top. Made an awesome gold-ish yellow…I probably could have used Goldmine but it wouldn’t have turned out as bright. It was actually brighter in person. I then mulch on the rest of my lid and then used Nehru in my crease. As my highlight, I used Ricepaper. And of course, I lined with graphblack fluidline.  Underneath, I lined with Smoulder and then used my #219 brush to smudge mulch into my lower lash line.

Cheeks:

I used Tenderling blush and alittle bit of Trace Gold to contour my cheeks. And

Lips:

Whirl lipliner, Viva Glam V and then Love Nectar Lustreglass.

Kelly’s Wedding

I did Kelly’s makeup this morning for her wedding! I can’t wait to see her pictures!!! One of my favorite Photographers, Kathy is taking them so to know that I have to wait a few weeks..well let’s just say the anticipation is KILLING me! Here are just two pictures that I took before I left! Her colors are Black and Pink and she LOVES a smokey eye! And the girls skin is FLAWLESS!

Kelly is so much fun to be around! If I didn’t have to work tonight at MAC, then I would totally be partying it up at her reception! Congratulations Kelly & Chris!

The colors I used on Lindy

I’m kind of slack when it comes to posting what colors I used on clients and I shouldn’t be! After posting Lindy’s halloween pics last night, I have received several emails asking what colors I used so here they are. I promise to do better in the future! :)

Eyes:

Lid: Whistle eyeshadow from Barbie loves MAC collection

Crease: Playful eyeshadow from Barbie loves MAC collection (the bright pink), Twinks eyeshadow which runs through entire crease and suspicion eyeshadow blended into the outer corner.

Brow Bone: Photo Realism from the Makeup art Cosmetics collection quad Photo Realism.  **I can’t get enough of this gold!!! **

I lined her eyes with Blacktrack Fluidline on top and then lined her inner waterline with Fascinating eye kohl. I then took my #219 brush and smudged the Twinks eyeshadow underneath to complete her smoky look. I also used the Photo realism in her inner corner to highlight her eyes.

Face:

Studio Fix Fluid for her foundation, Select cover-up as her concealer and then lightly dusted a Mineralized skin finish Natural to finish her off.

Cheeks: I used Dollymix powder blush

Lips:

Liner: Pink Treat creamstick Liner

Lipstick: Aloof

Dazzleglass: Baby Sparks

 

 

 

Lindy the “Playboy” Bunny

I did my friend Lindy’s makeup tonight for Halloween and she was going as a Playboy bunny. Her costume was a baby pink so we went for a pink smoldering look! It turned out awesome but of course she’s gorgeous so it wasn’t too hard to do!

Rachel’s Bridal Portraits

Here are the professional pictures as promised! Patty Hallman was Rachel’s Photographer and was generous enough to give me some photos of her Bridals and the wedding day for my professional use! I LOVE Patty’s work! Go check her out here!!!

The makeup is actually different in her Bridal Portraits then in her wedding photos. We went for more gold’s  and a little more drama for the Bridal’s and kept it a little more natural for her wedding day! I am so pleased with how they both turned out!!!

Congratulations Rachel and Jamaine!!!
