Hi Everyone, 

I'm starting this blog as a personal journal of my life as a Makeup Artist. I will post updates as to my progress in this ever so large industry. I invite all who visit this site to leave a comment, whether it is about the site, a service or consultation, please write what you feel. Thank you.

 Pale gray and taupe eye shadows are a gentle alternative to traditional black smoky eyes. For a more striking look, add a touch of shimmer to the gray or pair beige with a darker brown shadow in the crease. 

Liquid Bronzer

If your regular foundation looks too pale for your skin - this tends to happen in the summer - Customize the shade with liquid bronzer. Pour the usual amount of foundation into your palm, add a drop or tow of bronzer and then swirl them together with your finger. Swipe it on your jawline to make sure the shade isn't too dark before applying it all over. 

Fill in brows with shimmer cream shadow - it looks more like real hair then pencil or powder does.

How to fight shine?

Powder is a sticky mess in the summer, and blotting papers only work if you remember to tuck them in your purse. A better idea: Mix a drop of mattifying gel into your foundation. "My favorites are the men's formulas, because they're made for us greasy bastards, try Shiseido Men's Antishine refresher gel.
