Makeup Monday: Coverage-on-the-Run

Need some type of coverage, but don't have enough time?  For everyday wear, try a tinted moisturizer.  The name is self-explanatory; it's a moisturizer that is tinted the color of various skin tones. It provides moisture as a moisturizer and coverage as a foundation.  It's two steps cut down to one.  Tinted moisturizers come in various shades to provide just the right coverage for you.  It's perfect for the on-the-go woman who can use the coverage, but can't afford the time.

Robert Dahey Photography Photoshoot

Yesterday I had the opportunity to do makeup for a test shoot at Wheel Works studio in downtown.  Pretty crazy, but very exciting.  This shoot was also an opportunity for aspiring hair stylists to use inspiration into their hair creations.  There were lots of people involved from models, hairstylists, wardrobe stylists, makeup artists, assistants, and photographers to pull off a successful shoot.  We all contributed our talents to add some work to our portfolios.

Robert Dahey is a true photographic genius.  He has such a great eye and has inspired me to get more involved in fashion makeup.  To top it off, he truly is a really nice guy.  This was the first time working with Robert, and I hope to work with him more on future projects. 

I'd have to say working with all the talented people was a wonderful experience.  Everyone was very professional and nice.  I think fashion is definitely a niche I would like to pursue!

Some behind-the-scenes photos from my personal camera, actual photos soon to come.

Makeup Monday: Color Wash

Why not experiment with your eye makeup and add some color?  Try this.  Choose a color of your liking, I recommend a light shimmer color to start with if you're not used to wearing shadows with color, and cover the entire lid from lashline to browline. Apply an eye primer like Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion before you apply the eyeshadow to keep the color lasting longer.  You can choose to line just the upper lashline and finish off with mascara applying on both upper and lower lashes.  Pair your lips with a natural shade of lipstick.  Your look will be fresh, playful and "colorful".
