Makeup Transformation

This week at work I had the pleasure of doing some of my co workers makeup to practice for some clients that came into the salon on Saturday for a wedding... Below is a photo of my friend Leah. I used the products our salon carries which is Jane Iredale... as you can see she has some redness so I used an under eye concealer and something that had a more matte finish because she likes heavy coverage. I did a nice simple fall look on her eyes as well.




This second photo is a bridesmaid that came in to get her makeup done... She wanted a dramatic smokey eye with some falsies... She had a darker completion so I did some grays and some purples to make her brown eyes stand out. They were really happy with how it looked. Her skin looked flawless as well. I am pretty bummed I didnt get a pic of the second brides maid though.

Fire Ball and Fairy Makeup!

Halloween was crazy... So many people came to me for makeup.. I only had time for a few. These are some photos of what I did. My sister ( who is pictured first) was "FIREBALL" for Halloween she wanted a look that was pretty intense.. something that she had never done before. I had so much fun with this look. I was really really happy with the way that it came out. It wad not hard at all. I used a reference picture but of course I made it my own. For this look I used Ben Nye "Clown White" as the primer, only because its more of a heavy base makeup and it makes the color stick way more proficiently and makes the color more intense.  We added gems for a more creative look. She even had the hair extensions to match! 







Below is my friend Aimee. She was the tooth fairy for Halloween. I wanted to do something super girly and cute because thats what I think of when I think tooth fairy. Lots of glitter and glitz! I wa happy with how this cam out. Aimee does not really ever wear tons of makeup so I wanted to do something creative but not too crazy intense. I used some glitter, pretty purples and I decided to do a cute elegant design on one side of the face with liquid liner.. I thought this was a nice touch.
