Style Me Pretty Wedding Makeup + Lashes
I was recently featured on Style Me Pretty for Vicki's wedding makeup. This was one of my favorite bridal looks - Celebrity Glam! Vicki was great to work with, because she trusted me and left the artistry in my hands. Before applying makeup, I always sit down with my clients to discuss their wedding details, such as the wedding theme, wedding dress, style of the hair, etc. After hearing Vicki’s story, I knew there were a few key components we needed to focus on so that her wedding makeup was flawless! When Vicki told me she wanted Celebrity Glam, I immediately thought of her eyes. In order to create bigger, more defined eyes, we decided to do a full installation of individual Novalash extensions 3 days before her wedding. http ://novalash.com/find/?s=Tymia+Yvette
I always recommend getting extensions 3+ days before the wedding so that your eyes have enough time to adjust. Since I’ve been doing lashes, I have never had a bride experience any irritation or problems with the extensions.
Before applying Vicki's makeup, she asked, “Will my makeup last ALL night, even through dancing?" This question gets asked all the time. The answer is yes! While setting powder and finishing sprays are a necessity, for longevity I like to start from the bottom up. In order to make it last, its very important that you start with hydrating your skin. For Vicki, I used Belif Aqua Bomb cream. http://www.belifcosmetic.com/english/product/detail.jsp?cid1=B&cid2=1&pid=ACM04891
I then primed her skin with Smashbox "Light" Primer http://m.sephora.com/product/P191603?icid2=Similar%20Products&productId=P191603&skuId=1349976
We wanted to make sure she looked magnificent in person, but even more impeccable in photos. A simple technique I like to do is layering. Not only does it help the makeup last, it also photographs really well. I especially like to layer powders over cream products. My go-to's for the best applications are Makeup Forever products for the eyes. http://www.makeupforever.com/us/en-us/make-up/eyes And Nars products for the cheeks. http://www.narscosmetics.com/USA/cheeks
To complete Vicki's unforgettable, celebrity glam look, I kept the intensity on her eyes and created a soft lip using a mixture of Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid lipsticks and glosses. http://www.anastasiabeverlyhills.com/liquid-lipstick.html

3 Classic Ways To Revive Your Makeup For A Night Out
A dramatic eye is not always created by packing on layers of eyeshadow. It can be as simple as taking a dark colored liner, even your traditional black or brown liner, and lining the top and bottom of your lid. Then take a small stiff brush or even your finger and lightly smudge out the liner. Finish it off with 2 to 3 coats of a voluminous mascara to add drama to the lashes. Step 3 is to naturally contour and highlight your face shape. This step can be done by finding the areas on the face that recede, and placing your bronzer color in those areas. You can also substitute bronzer for a face powder that's 2 shades darker than your complexion. Highlighting is all about finding the areas on the face that come forward. Lightly dust a highlighting powder to make these areas more prominent. You can even use an eyeshadow! An eyeshadow that is an earth tone with some shimmer that is medium to light in color will do the trick. Check out the entire blog post on She Knows here!
New Year, New Color, New You!
The Christmahanakwanzika day (or maybe for some, the Noholidaycelbutory day) is finally over. But don't pack your glitter liners and sparkly highlighters away too quickly! The New Year is approaching and what better way to bring in the New Year than on trend and in style. If you haven't heard, the Pantone 2014 Fashion Color Report has declared Radiant Orchid the official color of the new year.
When it comes to Pantone, they have been the leading fashion color authority for the last 20 years. They're the reason you accented your living room with emerald green last year, bought that bright tangerine pillow for your couch in 2012, and wore your favorite red-pink honeysuckle lipstick with everything in 2011.
Here's some tips and techniques on how to create fun and trendy makeup this New Year's Eve. Even if you don't celebrate the holidays, you still have to be in trend for 2014 right?!? So pay attention;)
Maybe you're finishing up the final accents on your New Year's Eve outfit OR you want to get a jump start on the trend and impress your friends. Either way, why not go all out with a dramatic makeup look!
Let's start with the eyes :)
A sultry and flirty purple smokey eye is just what you need to stand out in the crowd. Young Punk by MAC is a beautiful black shadow with flecks of purple and pink sparkle. Highlight the inner corner of your smokey eye with NYX's Loose Pearl Eyeshadow in Light Purple.

Traditionally, most smokey eyes are accompanied with a soft nude lip. But since it's the New Year, be bold and do a purple lip to complement the eye. Both Darling and By Starlight from Melt Cosmetics prove to be perfect for the occasion. Line your lips with MAC's Vino or NYX's Purple rain lip liner.
Its a lot of color on the eyes and lip so make sure to balance your face out with great contouring and highlighting for the skin. Lorac's TANtalizer Contour and Highlighter duo is great for most shades and gets the job done.

No look is complete without lashes! Try Ardell's Demi Wispies Lashes for even more drama to the eyes.
