Your very own personal Fairy Gloss Mother! My intro vid on Youtube!

I finally got my intro video edited and up on Youtube!  I put in pics of a small selection of my non-TV/Film work.   After a few days of pulling my hair out trying to learn how to edit videos it's actually now kinda fun!  I've already filmed several new videos that are almost done with editing.  That's the most time consuming part but i'm getting faster so pretty please subscribe with Lip Gloss on top!  There's so much more to come and i'd love to hear if there's anything specific that you would like for me to cover!

Put that jackhammer away! How to easily remove waterproof eye makeup.

So many people are surprised when I tell them I wear waterproof eye makeup, especially mascara, every single day.  I love waterproof mascara (DiorShow of course!) because it's the only formulation that will keep any degree of curl to my stick straight lashes.  Plus I never look like a raccoon halfway through my day or 10 minutes into my sweat drenched workout. 

I've got this waterproof makeup application down to a science but how do you safely and easily remove it without needing a jack hammer or stretching and pulling on your delicate eyes and losing precious eye lashes??  It's super easy with the right product!  I swear by oil cleansers.  They are great for the entire face for all skin types even the most oily!  Think about it...oil cuts oil.  Not all cosmetic grade oils are created equal and just like with food, not all oils are bad for you.  These premium grade oils completely dissolve all your waterproof eye makeup products even your most bulletproof waterproof mascara.  Best of all, they emulsify with water and rinse off with no residue unlike some oily eye makeup removers especially the pads that come pre-soaked, yuck!

I used Shu Uemura Oil Cleansers for years but sadly this brand is no longer being sold in the U.S. as of summer 2010.  Boo!  *** If you come across any grab one and one for me too, haha!  Luckily I was introduced to MAC's Cleanse Off Oil last year and it's become my new fave.   All the cosmetic companies are jumping on the oil cleanser band wagon like Bobbi Brown, Origins and Lancome just to name a few.

To remove, I just dispense one pump onto a cotton ball and hold it over my eye for a few seconds and then very gently wipe off.  Repeat on the other eye, rinse off with water and finish by cleansing the rest of my face with my Clarisonic.  I've tried a lot of eye makeup removers but nothing removes as thoroughly, completely and effortlessly like these oil cleansers. Trust me, there's zero stinging, irritation or pulling/stretching on the super delicate skin around my eyes which you never want to do anyway unless you want to help speed-up the aging process! 

**I found out after I wrote this blog that Shu Uemura is still available in the U.S. on their website!  Yay! I still need to find out if your old Pro Makeup Artist cards can be used online though so stay tuned or please let me know if you know! www.shuuemura-usa.com

My Signature Style: Revealing your inner "Victoria's Secret Model"

I truly believe in every single woman lies a gorgeous, sweet yet sexy, inner Victoria's Secret Model.  Sometimes you just need the help of a pro (like me!) to help you discover her.  Trust me, she's there and she can't wait to make her big appearance! 

(Before & after of my stunning friend, Shannon who I had the privilege of doing her makeup for a wedding she was recently in.  I think she's Gweneth's long lost sister!  Obviously she's naturally beautiful but you can see how a little bit of the right makeup transforms her into The Bombshell.)                                                                                                                            

My personal favorite look and what has evolved throughout the years working as a makeup artist to become my Signature Style is best described as "The Bombshell".  My formula for creating The Bombshell is a combination of what I call the "Yin & Yang" complexion which is bronzed and hi-lighted glowy skin. It's sultry, smoldering kitty cat eyes, flirty and fringey lashes, flushed cheek and nude pink glossed lips. It's so NOT about looking overtly, in-your-face sexy. That's so NOT hot!  Save that for the girls who use Halloween as an excuse to dress up in hoochie mama costumes, haha!!  Ya know that's true, right?!  The true Bombshell is your girl next door who knows how to best play up her assets with the help of the right products to reveal her most gorgeous self. One of my greatest passions in life is to show my clients their full beauty potential and to help them see themselves in a whole new, Victoria's Secret Runway worthy way!! 

Stay tuned for my next blog post with the details on how to create this same look!  Oh the anticipation!!
