This is a look I did a few days ago, using all the colors from the Silent Treatment Wet n Wild palette that I won! I really like the palette, but; I don't know how I feel about my entire look...you know how we are our own worst critic?! I love wearing lashes now and I'm just now learning that as much as you love a pair of lashes you can only wear them about 4 times. I really love my Miss Adoro 415 lashes, I wore them so much that they look a mess, I had to throw them away-thankfully, I bought an extra pair :-) Anywho, here is the look... I'm experimenting with photo editing!

Hello, Glamour Dolls :-) I did wedding makeup over the weekend. I was really excited because I've done smaller weddings in the past and this was my first big wedding! I'm glad I made it through the day without feeling tired or sluggish. The wedding colors were gold, burgundy and white...here are a few pics of me in action and some of the work I did.  My work area...     My well-used makeup kit :-)   Working on the bride...  This is one of my dear friends, who was also a bridesmaid in the wedding. She doesn't wear foundation, so; I wanted it to be very light and natural. I used the  Mid Marigold color from the Graftobian Hd foundation palette and powder. On her eyes are: Satin Taupe, Woodwinked and Bamboo e/s by Mac. We did a light flush blush on her cheeks.. her brown contacts really made her eyes pop. The maid of honor was also a friend of mine. She wanted a natural look with some flair. I used the Sienna color from the Graftobian foundation

A friend of mine told me about Nordstrom's annual Trend show that showcases the upcoming makeup trends for the winter season... which are metallic eyes and red lips. I hadn't heard of  the Trend show before, but; I was eager to attend. It was last Saturday, it featured a mini fashion show, upcoming products from numerous makeup, skin care and perfume lines, giveaways, lots of discounts and a goody bag.   The goody bag contained samples of perfume, discounts on products and even a mini Laura Mercier brush and translucent powder!  I love this bag! The cost was very inexpensive, only $15 and the $15 could be used towards any beauty purchase. Guests had the option to get their faces done by the makeup lines featured. My friends got their faces done at Mac, they looked amazing. I'm a huge Mac fan, but; I decided to get my face done at the Bobbi Brown counter. Mini Fashion Show, those hats were fierce! I didn't take a picture of my face, but it ca

I went out a few days ago and a friend asked me to do a full face of makeup...I wasn't feeling the best but she talked me into it and I did it for her. The colors I used were a sheer pink e/s on my lid and brown in my crease...it didn't turn out the way I wanted, so; I kept blending and this is what I came up with... a neutral eye. I will do the original look over. I was in SO much pain in this pic, I still managed to smile :-) PRODUCTS USED Eyes -Elf e/s primer -no name sheer pink e/s on lid -no name brown e/s on crease -no name beige e/s as eye highlight -Elf plum liquid liner -L'oreal Voluminous mascara in black -Mac Engraved powerpoint eyeliner Face -Mac Prep + Prime face -Mac Select Cover up Concealer NC45 -Bobbi Brown corrector in Peach -Mac Studio Fix plus powder foundation C6 -Black Radiance warm berry baked blush Lips -NYX chestnut liner -Mac Viva Glam Gaga lipstick I More LOTD's to come!
