ALL THIS TALK ABOUT COLOR

With all this talk about color, I have decided to let you all in how simple it is to add a little bit of color into your make-up looks.  Lip color is a suuuuper easy way to change your look from day to evening!  I have been obsessed lately with mango colored lips and it is a surprisingly soft color, that looks great on every skin tone.  


I did a shoot recently with real baby chicks right before Easter... perfect time for my new orange/mango lip obsession!

What do you think of the orange lip trend? You can use the colors matte or with a gloss (like I did for this look) using Make-Up Forevers Lab Shine in D20.  Gorgeous! 

  
Here are two of my favorite mango hued lipsticks. Try out some color for yourself!  
1. Milani Color Perfect Lipstick in Orange Gina, $4.99 
2. Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color SPF 12 in Soft Coral, $22


What colors are you into this season?

Secret to completely NATURAL looking lashes!

I feel like for the last 3 weeks all I have been saying to my friends is "wow, your eyelashes are so pretty!".   The next words out of there mouths have been the same thing, "I got them done at Ginger Lash in Latham".  The name is so cute right? Although, I have yet to get mine done. I did buy my mom a gift certificate for Mothers Day!  She has noooo lashes and is always asking me "can you just pop some lashes on me"?  They always look so pretty but she wishes they would last longer so I would not have to do them everyday. So when I heard about Ginger Lash and then saw her fabulous work on my friends I was like "Yup, Mothers Day Gift!".

Ginger Lash is offering a Mother's Day Full for only $60.  It is also something I recommend for special occasions, especially for brides or if you have a photo session coming up (engagement sessions or budoir session, is a great excuse to get them!).  I can't wait to get mine done when I go away on vacation in July!  I will let you know how my mom likes them and my experience before I go away in a couple of months.  I have heard and saw nothing but great reviews and I wanted to tell you guys about this awesome special because maybe you are just like me.  But, it is hard buying for the women who has everything! ha ha ha!

To get your mothers day gift before Sunday contact Faith Maus the fabulous eye candy eyelash artist (yes that is what she calls herself, I LOVE IT) at gingerlash@hotmail.com or message her on facebook.

I'll fill you guys in later blog's to see how my mom and I made out!

To making moms feel pretty!

Welcome to my new make-up blog-site!

A very warm welcome to all of you!  Thank you so much for stopping by new blog-site :) I wanted to start a blog so I could share my tips & tricks with clients, facebook/twitter followers and anyone who stumbles upon this lovely blog.  I am SO excited to start sharing with all of you my favorite products, my experiences on and off set that inspire my passion for make-up and much much more!  I say much much more because there is a lot more to make-up than make-up products.   I love make-up because I get to make people {FEEL} and look amazing!  I also say much much more because I am a women with many interests such as food, design, adventure, travel, business, fashion, technology, photography, animals and life... probably just like you! I want this to be a place where my clients can go and learn about me {and} my passion for make-up.   So I hope you LOVE it :)  I know you will! 


I am going to jump right into this blog world so here we go! 


Many people ask me which make-up products are my favorite to work with on set.  My top two are NARS & Makeup Forever.  I became obsessed with MF when they came out with the universal translucent finishing power -- HD Micro-finish Powder.  The benefits are incredible for oily skin and you need VERY LITTLE (Don't get all cray cray with the power!). It is 100%  silica microspheres so it is ultra light and it won't settle into wrinkles or look to matte and "powdery".  It is great for all skin types except dry but you wouldn't powder a dry face anyways.  I love to use it when I am getting pictures taken or going anywhere I know might be hot or humid.  It is a little expensive $15-30 depending on what size you but.  No worries though, I will do another post on where to find the same product for about $4-5 an ounce - this product sells for the equivalent of over $80 an ounce (which is ridiculous!).  Even though it is expensive, it is defiantly in my top 10 must haves for on set.

I think I am just like every other girl when it comes to how they discovered the NARS line.  Turkish Delight!  I'll never forgot when I first saw Kim Kardashian on TV.   I wanted to know how to get luscious lips just like her. I just had to have it!  Not only did it look good on her but it looked just as fabulous on me too.  The pigments are richly formulated that don't skip on the skin.  You don't need much of their lip glosses to achieve the finish you desire. Which is important to me as a make-up artist when I am on set or doing touch-ups on a bride or model.  

too my 1st blog post done & many more to come! :):)
