Photo shoot: frilly, dreamy, vintage, & sweet...

This photo shoot was done by yours truly! The girl seen in these pictures is a future graduating senior of the C/O 2011. She was interested in getting her makeup done and having her senior pictures taken. However she didn’t want traditional senior pictures, rather pictures that reflected herself and the theme of her party, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. So, I found the perfect opportunity to shoot my own photo shoot! I love photography! Problem is that I don’t own a professional camera nor have training. But, a good friend lend me his camera and gave me a crash course.  

Giveaway announcement!

Avant Garde Look done by me :)

Hello Makeup Friends,

The website is finally up!!!! There are still some minor tweaks to be done, but I decided to put it live so that you can all see it. I am very proud of the work that I have done through the years and I am happy to now have a website that showcases this. 

We received a lot of entries for the giveaway, but unfortunately a lot of you did not read the instructions, because we got lots of Email entries, but not as many followers. I know a lot of you thought that the colors would be Pink, White and Black, but as you can see I went with a completely different color scheme.

The official Giveaway winner is blog follower Miranda!!! I have the box here ready to go and will be dropping it off at the post office later today. Congratulations!

I want to give a special thanks to Carlos, of  SBM Design Firm for his fabulous work in designing and creating the Adorned Faces website. I recommend them to any of you that are in need of a website or any marketing products.

Message to Blog Readers

Hello Makeup Friends,

I wanted to take a moment on this gorgeous Sunday afternoon to let all of you know of some exciting news.

My Portfolio website will be launched very soon! You can go to AdornedFaces.com to get a little preview.
At this point of my career as a Makeup Artist, I felt it was time to launch a website where all of you can view a compilation of my work in a more organized matter.  Anyway, I won't give it all away, but I will keep you posted on the progress and make an official announcement once the site goes live. In the meantime, make sure you save the link.

I want you to know that the Makeup by Jaday blog will continue full force. I love to share my tips and tutorials with all my readers, and therefore I will continue to do so here on this blog. Now you will have two places to get your makeup fix... the blog and the website!

Thank you for all your support and encouragement!

I leave you with these words to ponder...

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

Subtle Spring Look for the Career Woman

This look was requested by reader Miranda. She is a busy career woman and mom, and she wanted a "not so colorful spring look" that she could wear to work or a night out. To me, spring is all about glowing skin, rosy cheeks, and COLOR, but just for Miranda, I held back on the color and came up with this more subtle look. Scroll Down for Instructions.
Enjoy :)

 

Reader Requested- Modern Pinup for Spring

Hello Readers,
I know I have not posted a new look for a few weeks, but I have been so busy applying makeup on others, that I hadn't found the time to log on and post. I missed you all!
As requested by blog reader Glamorosa, here is an easy daytime pinup look. This makeup looks great and is very in for Spring and it does not have to be reserved for special events like the more dramatic looks. It's an electric blue liner, paired with a vibrant red lip. This look is very simple to achieve, just follow my instructions for the Pinup look, but use a bright liner instead and skip the lashes. Read on for Products used.

Spring Look- Pink and Violet Surprise!

This is the 2nd look for the spring series. This one is also bright and colorful, but I used a different style and color combo. I used frosty pink, violet, and deep purple, but the surprise is that I added a pop of ocean blue. I really like how all the colors look together. To finish off the look, I added a bright Pink lip stick and gloss. I have to say this is one of my favorite looks I have done in a while. I got lots of compliments on my makeup that day. Try it yourself and maybe you will get compliments too! Enjoy :)

Spring Look- Bright Greens and Blues

Spring is my favorite season, not only because of the weather, but because of the makeup. I love wearing fun colorful makeup looks. With that said, I will be doing a series of spring looks for the blog just in time for all of you to wear them out during the season.

The first look is this bright green and blue look that's a bit dramatic, but remember you can always do the same thing, but tone it down using colors that are not as strong. It honestly took just a few minutes to do the eyes, so keep reading for the instructions.
