MOTD: Bridal Makeup Jannett

I love doing bridal makeup and being part of a bride's special day.  Jannet contacted me 2 weeks ago regarding makeup for her wedding (she actually planned her wedding in 2 weeks!)  I always tell my brides to send me pictures of makeup styles that interest them. This really helps me get inspired and see what type of direction they would like to take.  Jannet was a super easy bride and I love the end results of her makeup.  Smokey eye, nude/pink lip perfect makeup for an evening wedding.

Here are the products that I used to create this look

• Embroylisse Lait-Crème Concentre moisturizer
• Whip Hand Cosmetics Set The Stage Makeup Primer
• Belletto Studio Airbrush Makeup Y3 Latte and Y4 Sweet Honey
• MAC Cosmetics NW25 under eye NC30 redness
• Smashbox Photo Finish 24 Hour Shadow Primer (THE BEST!)
• Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo Ebony
• Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel
• Anastasia Beverly Hills Catwalk Palette (my go-to bridal palette)
• MAC White Frost / Nylon Shadow Highlight inner corner
• MAC Chromaline Black Black for top liner
• Urban Decay Cosmetics 47/7 Glide On Eye Pencil Zero
• MAC Peachykeen Blush
• MAC Angel Lipstick with Spice Lip Pencil

I wish I would have done these before and after makeups more! I totally regret not doing them during my whole makeup career.  Oh well here's to a new start!

MOTD: L.A. Girl Cosmetics

I love incorporating brighter colors to my makeup looks especially for summer and I am so happy how this one turned out.  I actually used the L.A. Girl Cosmetic Glide On Gel Liners as an eye shadow.  I basically just scribbled Goldmine all over my lid, let it set and I was good to go.  So easy but the results are long lasting color.   I did have to use a makeup remover (my go-to remover is MAC Cleanse Off Oil) to break down the liner but at least I know that It stays on!

MOTD: Colorful look for summer

Quick MOTD post for you today using L.A. Girl Cosmetics. I am head over heals with the Gel Glide Eyeliner Pencils.  They are soft, creamy, come in a variety of colours but most importantly stays on once set (give it about 15 seconds). I am serious, this liner does not move!  I even used makeup remover to remove the Royal Blue color and it was still on until I washed my face.  If you are looking for an eyeliner that will stay in the water line and will not budge this is for you.  I've tried so many eyeliners but I really have to say this eyeliner is the best! Did I mention the eyeliner is only $5?!?! YAHOOOOO now you can collect all the colors. =)  You can thank me later. P.S. I will have swatches of the liners that I have so you can start your shopping.

Back to the look..
