A day in the life...

I have been truly blessed to work in the field that I love with such amazing clients. I love what I do, so it's never really like work to me. Here is quick look at my week with Vivica Fox. We start out working on her new TV show "Mr. Box Office" where she plays a hot and spicy teacher. I like to keep her make up look conservative for the show. Not too much shimmer or trendy make up because it wouldn't read well on camera anyway. We always pop up her lip, because that brightens her face when the rest of her look is more calm in color.

 Here is a look we did for the episode about school uniforms. The red lip added just enough to finish pretty!

 If I'm not shooting and working on the show, Vivica has me travel with her when she's promoting that show and any other projects she may be working on. Here she is backstage at KTLA getting ready to talk about "Prank My Mom" her new show on Lifetime, as well as "Mr. Box Office". As you can see, the look I gave her here is more fresh faced and clean.

Thankfully, I have a full plate...and my schedule changes week to week. I never know who I'll be working with or for what until the day of sometimes. There is not much down time, but when there is I can blog, and write, and shop for the newest products that make my clients look and feel their best! 

On the set of MBO....

Every week I am excited to do make up for a new TV show called Mr. Box Office. I work with Vivica Fox, but the show's cast is full of big names and it's always a good time on set. Check out some behind the scenes shots as they get ready to prep for camera.

Mr. Box Office comes on every Saturday and Sunday in LA on KTLA, but check your local listings for times and dates! If you need a good laugh and that old sitcom charm, be sure to tune in:)

Viv's Killer Look...

After checking several blogs...Vivica Fox wow'd the masses with her look on the red carpet for Byron Allen's Entertainment Studio's Daytime Emmy Launch event in Beverly Hills. Vivica was in attendance for the new show she landed on one of Byron's networks called "Mr. Box Office". Check out some behind the scenes shots of how we got the look that killed!

 We wanted to go with something edgy to match her new short hair, and we did! I talked her into a bright orange lipstick from MAC called Morange, to make the statement. I used Mahogany lip pencil from MAC to line her lips, then I went with a YSL Golden Gloss in a bright red in the pout. The makeup look was actually pretty natural, as not to take away from the lip, but we did intensify the eyes with my favorite Stila eyeliner in Kajal. I added slight contour and color to her cheeks using MAC Raisin blush and NARS New Orleans pressed powder. Her eyeshadow was a shimmery gold from a YSL summer palette they no longer make. This look definitely was a winner!
