Blue Again?


I guess it's no secret by now that I love blue. What can I say? I have a soft spot for blue eyeshadows. Here we have a blue smokey eye. Remember to keep the rest of your makeup light and natural when wearing blue so that you don't end up looking like you time traveled from the 80s. :)

Navy and White Look

Here is another easy makeup look that you can try to do yourself. You just need a Navy Blue eyeliner -I used Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Binge- a dark blue eyeshadow, and shimmery white eyeshadow. Those are the only three colors I used to create this look. I also used a blue mascara on the bottom lashes and a black one on the top lashes. Remember, it's all about blending to create that smoldered effect.
P.S. Navy blue is a great color for brown eyes. It brings out the warmth in the color.

Prom Look- Valentina

May is the month of Proms all around South Florida. Girls want to look extra special on this day and they buy a beautiful dress, get their hair done, and finally they want a gorgeous makeup look so that they can look flawless in all their pictures.
Here we have an example of prom makeup. Valentina just attended her Senior Prom this past weekend and she hired me to do her makeup. She wanted to look like herself, but with a little bit of drama.We decided to go for a gold, bronze, and brown smokey eye and pink nude lips. I used highlighters and bronzers to give a youthful "glow from within" look to her skin. Here is her final look:

Lash Extensions

Lash extensions are false lashes that are applied one by one to the eye. When done correctly and with the right (permanent) glue, they can last anywhere from a few days to even a few weeks, depending on how you take care of them. I dont recommend you try this at home because the professional glue is hard to use and very irritating to the eye. Go to a licensed makeup artist or skin care specialist if you want lash extensions because we have been properly trained.Beware of some salons that use hair extension glue to apply the individual lashes promising they will last for a long time, this is really dangerous and can even cause you to loose your natural lashes and you can get eye infections (yuck.) Scroll down for pictures and more information.

I've got the Blues :)



Royal blue is such a fun color to wear! Blue brightens the whites of your eyes and distracts from any redness you might have on your face. Scroll down to view the products I used so that you can recreate this look.

Earth Tones with a Twist

This is a casual look that was taken up a notch by adding glitter to the lower lash line. I guess I have a glitter liner obsession at the moment. Glitter is just so much fun!

GC Wedding...Mother of the Bride

For this look, I took my inspiration from the beautiful champagne color dress. The client wanted to emphasize the eyes with a sexy smokey eye. False lashes added the final touch of drama.
