Hair & Fashion Show

2009-09-23T07:46:00.000-07:00

On Sunday, September 13, 2009 I had a great opportunity to be apart of a hair & fashion show. I worked with a brilliant styling team: Ms. Sha Sha, Sir Charlez, Nina K and Ms Drea.

We introduced the new "BUMP" hair by Sensationnel. We collectively did all hair styles and all makeup was done by Lady M (that's me). Majority of the models were flown in from Detroit along with the FANTASTIC designer Von Do Reese. They rocked the runway with these beautiful styles.

Here are some of the pictures from the show:

Tammy's Wedding

2009-07-02T09:25:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of working with Tammy and her bridesmaids in early June. This bridesmaid had beautiful skin. Her face with first cleansed and moisturized with cream for normal to dry skin. Mac foundation was applied on her face and alittle concealer under the eyes. Urban decay primer portion was added all over the lid as a base. Since the color of their dresses were dark chocolate I decided to stick with neutral tones (golds, browns, etc.). I used a light brown color on the lid (Milani) and a darker brown in the crease. A white matte color was applied to the brow bone as a highlight. A light bronze color was used on the cheeks and dark brown as the lip gloss. Since this bridesmaids already had long lashes mascara was used to enhance them.

This bridesmaid complained of having very oily skin as well as several blemishes on her face. I wanted to make sure all dark spots were covered and extra moisturising cream was added. Her face was first moisturized with cream and MAC foundation was applied. The eyes were primed with urban decay primer potion as a base. A light tan color was added up to the crease. Falling star (Mac color) was added into the crease and a white matte color was used as a highlight. Strip lashes was added to bring her eyes out and lined with black liner on top of eyelid. Her cheeks were accented with bronzer and on the lips she wore light rose (NYX).

This bridesmaid wanted to be alittle different and sassy. She requested a smoky eye. Her face was first cleansed and moisturized with cream and MAC foundation was applied. Eyes were primed with cream shadow secretly paint (Loreal HIP). Bronze (MAC) was applied to the lid, embark (MAC) was added to crease and era (MAC) as the highlight. A soft peach color was applied to the cheeks. Soft peach color as the lip gloss.

All clients was sprayed with a finishing spray to set their makeup (Makeup Forever) and a finishing powder was applied to complete the look.

Finished looks are pictured below:

Blink, Blink

There's nothing like adding to a total look with lashes. This lady wanted to try out individual lashes for the very first time for an upcoming wedding. Individual Ardell lashes were applied with duo glue. After wearing these lashes for about a week she received so many compliments. Now she can't stop coming back for more.

Ms Christine wanted to go out for a night on the town with her lashes. She wanted to try the soft smoky eye look. The lid color was a nice soft gray color by NYX. A darker gray was applied to the crease and a white matte color was used on the brow bone. A nude honey color was used as lip gloss.

Hi Bloggers,

This bridesmaid was moisturized with a cream for oily skin and Mac studio fix was applied as the foundation. Her eyelids were primed with urban decay primer potion as a base. Half of the eyelid color was woodwinked (Mac color) while the remainder of the eye consisted of a NYX green color. I applied in the crease area the color called embark (Mac color). The eyes was highlighted in the brow bone with a light matte color from Coastal Scents. Black eyeliner was applied to the upper part of the eyelid and eyes were completed with lashes. A Rose color was applied to the cheeks and plain lip gloss was added to the lips.

The Brides mother did not wear alot of makeup at all. She requested a natural look. I used moisturizing cream for dry skin and Mac studio fix foundation. The eyelids was primed with urban decay primer potion. A Mac bronze color was applied to the lid along with a light brown color in the crease. Era (Mac color) was used as the highlight. To brighten up her eyes a black eyeliner was applied to the waterline as well as black mascara. A light rose color was applied to her cheeks. A light red lip gloss was added to the lips.

This lovely lady is one of Staci's bridesmaids. This look was created by using Mac studio fix for foundation. I used a clinique light brown color for the base. A gold color was applied to the lid and an embark was applied to the crease. A matte color was used as the highlight and the eyes were offset with a black liner and lashes. A Rose color was applied to the cheeks and a pale pink color (NYX) was used for lip gloss.

All these ladies makeup was completed with a light finishing spritz by Makeup Forever. As well a Medium tone finishing powder by IMAN.

Here are the overall looks after these lovely ladies were fully dressed.

Staci's Wedding

2009-06-21T16:12:00.000-07:00

Hi Bloggers,

I had the pleasure of doing the makeup for Staci and her wedding party in May. The wedding took place in the heart of downtown Chicago. It was a beautiful day for a beautiful bride. The bride wanted something a little different and a look she had not worn before. I decided to give her a smoky eye look. For starters, I went with a pure white base, then applied grey over the lid. For the final layer of the look I went with black in the crease w. A touch of brown also applied to the crease was used to offset the dark colors. To accent the eye, I went with a single layer of eyelashes. A rosie pink was used as the blush for the cheeks. To complete the look I used a nude lipgloss and finishing powder to set the overall look.
