Busy, Busy!!
The last few weeks have been busy (not that I am complaining), and I have such great news to blog about!!
My Spring Schedule is filling up quickly with photo shoots, weddings, and makeup classes-all things that I love doing, and can't do enough of! Next week the "Arnold Classic" will be in town, and many fitness models are requesting services!!
The last weekend in January, I conducted a skincare/makeup class for Kalie, a 13 year old girl just beginning her love for makeup! She was such a doll and I very much enjoyed working together. Two hours after beginning the lesson, I felt as though I have known her and her family for decades. Lessons are one of my favorite things to conduct-really teaching clients what colors work, how to make great selections in product, and chatting skincare make my heart skip a beat!
The lesson went so well that this Friday I am going back to work with her Aunt and a friend of their family! Most of my clients are referrals, this just happened to be a closer referral than typical :)
Valentine's Day weekend I worked my tail off "working the makeup" on the 168 Film Project short film "Perspective". Two days of shooting, gorilla style for a total of 26 hours of work! That's a great deal of makeup in 2 days! Look for photos from the funny and quick-witted Jeff Glasser of Nightwing Photography!
Now the fun stuff...Over this past weekend, I worked my magic with Eric Mull, a fashion and commercial print photographer out of Cleveland. I was asked to not only rock the makeup, but also style the hair and fashion-a two-fold compliment!! The shoot went even better than I could have asked for, and I worked with 5 AMAZING models, including Indianapolis Colts Cheerleader Tessa C! She is a true DOLL and a gem of a canvas!
I can't wait to showcase the photos from Eric. While shooting, he showcased a few of the snaps, and we really outdid ourselves-we had great canvases and props to work with (amazing models), but really brought our A-game in our respective arts!
Until next blog, keep your lipgloss on and reach for the stars!

MAC, Dior, Chanel, Oh My!!
Spring is quickly approaching, although it may not feel like it here in Ohio! The trends are out, and my excitement for the Spring Collections of many are in full swing.
Colors to keep your eye on, and on your eyes...corals, pinks (primarily fuchsias), lilacs and plums, as well as any shade of GOLD! The Spring Forecast is soft, romantic, and airy but full of color!
Not everyone can rock the above trends, but everyone can wear a shade from each palette. But for those who want to be uber-trendy, check out the following pairings:
Yellow Shadow contoured with Plum Shadow, Sheer Gold Shadow with Fuchsia Lips, Coral and Lilac Shadow blended to look like sherbet! MMMMMM!
Color not your thing, punch up your look with eyeliner! Slate will give a fresh new look to any face-soft, yet dramatic. Don't forget about Plum Eyeliner-especially if you have hazel or brown eyes-you will be amazed at the "WOW" factor the first time you wear Plums! The new Navy liners aren't your mother's 80's eyeliner...Navy provides definition, sophistication, and a touch of chic to any look!
Just a few of my favorite liners:
MAC Fluidline in Macroviolet $15.00
Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof Eyeliner in Navy $22.00
Smashbox Waterproof Shadow Liner Duo in Slate $25.00
More trends and staples to come!
XOXO

Blogger...
I should have known that my passion for makeup would lead to be more than a hobby...as a child, I would sit and draw face shapes just to "contour" with my mother's makeup. Holding down my baby brother to put makeup on him should have told everyone else the same thing...I was destined to do something with makeup.
So, here we are years later-I still have an addiction to makeup, color, and fashion. Now, I am fortunate enough to be paid to "play" with my habits!
In my mind, a new lipstick can change a woman's day, style, and self-esteem.
With my new blog, I will update with tips, tricks, trends, and photos of new styles and looks. Plus, this is a great way for me to showcase my work to the people who matter the most to me!
Enjoy!
