Love Frenchie's Face...

Frenchie Davis is known for her beautiful voice, but I can not get over her gorgeous face!! To rock a low hair cut like she does, her face has to be absolutely stunning.....and it is:) I love the fact that she likes her make up to be clean because that's my specialty!!

She was attending GLAAD's "Bravo Top Chef Invasion", a benefit event in Los Angeles. The event was outdoors, and she would be there all day so we had to layer the makeup just enough to not be heavy up close. The look she was going for was soft and pretty, and that's what I did. Her face is an amazing canvas to begin with, so it was easy!

FACE TIME:  I used my favorite Koh Gen Do foundations to highlight and warm her complexion. I used YSL Blond Eyebrow pencil to fill in her brows, with a blend of MAC's Beguile brow mascara. For her eyes I used a light blend of Shimmertime Pigment from MAC, and warm peach eyeshadow. We decided against eyeliner to keep the look soft, but I did smudge a little NARS Galapagos eyeshadow under her bottom lashes for depth. Of course we used a pair of Demi Wispie lashes for that baby doll effect, then coated them with mascara. On her cheeks I used Radiance (Hot Pink) blush by Smashbox, blended with MAC Raisin blush. For her lips I used YSL Rouge Pur Shine in Pink Sorbet #28.

She definitely got the look she was going for...she was glowing on that carpet! xo

Fabulous Frenchie Davis...

I had the pleasure of working with talented songstress, Frenchie Davis recently for a red carpet appearance. One of my good friends, make up artist Cynthia Rivas, normally does her make up, but she was out of town, and she trusted me to her client's face. I am always happy to meet a new face:)

I remembered the name Frenchie Davis, but it wasn't until I saw her in person and chatted with her that I really remembered. This woman's voice is amazing, speaking of  her sound, she was even on "The Voice" showcasing her skills last year. Not to mention her powerful roles in classic musicals like Rent, Dreamgirls, and Ain't Misbehavin'. Now working to get her new music to her fans, you'll be hearing more from her very soon. She is super cool as well, and a force to be reckoned with! I was ecstatic to say the least.

Behind the scenes...

She LOVES makeup, so I wanted to make sure I did her, and her long time makeup artist friend Terrell Mullin, proud! We decided to go with the natural eye, bold lip combo since her dress was animal print. 

FACE TIME: I used MAC Pigment on the lid, with MAC eye shadows Swiss Chocolate and Texture in the crease. I lined her eyes with Stila's Kajal black eye pencil, and finished it off with my favorite Wispie Lashes from Ardell. Her cheek color was a combination of Smashbox blush in Smashing Flare, and Luster shimmer from NARS. Her lip was lined with YSL #7 Lip Pencil and her lip color was a red by YSL Rouge Pur Couture #1, with Milani golden gloss in her pout. Needless to say, she rocked the carpet that night!!

Much success to you Frenchie Davis, and I do hope to work with you again soon! xo
