Primp and Parker

10.11.2012

I had the pleasure of dolling up a friend of my mom's. Mature makeup is always a little bit more challenging as more makeup tends to age us as we grow older. Cat already has a great look and gorgeous eyes. I wanted to accentuate her natural and beautiful features but make her feel fun and sexy as well without over doing it. Mission: Accomplished! <3

Bay area nuptials

Heres a sneak peek of Brian and Cristens wedding. I had the incredible task of 6 updos and 5 makeups with myself n these two hands! It was an amazing weekend and a gorgeous wedding that took place at Wildwood Acres in Lafayette, CA. Stay tuned for more photos!!!

Intimate Rustic Ceremony

I finally got some photos back from a bride i did who was absolutely stunning. A makeup artists dream is to get a beautiful bride with flawless skin. And she is a total doll to boot!! Kerah and her husband Stephen opted for a very small and intimate ceremony with a rustic burned down house as their backdrop in the middle of the woods! And their little pooch was the ring bearer! We did a natural brown and blush smoky eye on kerah with peach cheeks and a glossy pout. For her hair we curled and teased with Aveda's Control Force. Kerahs hair has texture but is fine and doesnt hold curl for very long. We gave her a vintage pouf and accented it with a blush rose that matched her dress. Congratulations Kerah and Stephen!

Betties and bullies

7.30.2012

Betties and bullies is a non profit Pit Bull and Bully breed charity. Their proceeds raise money to educate and raise awareness about the truth in the world of the American Pit Bull Terrier and breeds alike. On saturday we rocked the photoshoot with Scott Saw of Vixen Photography to shoot Betties and Bullies 2013 Rock-A-Bully pinup calendar. We got to doll up a ton of hotties for this!! Crazy but so much fun

Prep + Prime

7.18.2012

Seems like everyone is constantly on the search for the best eye primer. While a lot of ladies swear by Urban Decays eyeshadow primer potion, my favorite by far is mac's prep + prime. It has an amazing consistency that works well for both dry and oily skin. For oily skin, a creamy primer still means a rubbed off look at the end of a crazy work day or night out. This primer fills in all the fine lines and is flesh colored so it masks any redness, veins or hyper pigmentation. I am personally so oily that i have to wear waterproof mascara and eyeliner. This stuff ROCKS!!!
