Simone Smith style...

My client Simone has amazing skin! So amazing, that I only do her eyes when she has me do her make up. I also put a little YSL #2 Bronzer on her to give her a nice glow, but that is it! She is simple when it comes to her beauty regimen, but she knows what she wants. Here are a few looks that we've done that has her stealing the show without a full face of make up on. Remember my motto...Less is More!

Here we did a nice natural eye, but it was a bit smokier in the outer corners. I lined her water line with Stila Kajal Eye Liner for an added edge, but her lip was Bobby Brown's Rich Color Gloss in Melon 2 (as seen below in the orange jacket)

For this look, we kept the eyes very natural since we knew we were going to pop the lip. On her eyes I used my favorite YSL palette with the gold, and MAC Coquette in the crease with a little Arena for warmth. Her lip was a combination of Jordana Lipstick in Rasberry and YSL #2 Golden Gloss on top.

On this day, she wanted to keep it in the pink family so I did a natural eye using MAC Expensive Pink eye shadow, Blackberry in her crease, Brown Down under her lash line, and MAC Prrr Lip gloss.

The way she wears her make up is a true testament to natural beauty, and the fact that you don't have to do a whole lot with your face to make a statement. Just enhancing those features that you want to "pop" is a great way to look polished and pretty without putting a million things on. Way to go Simone! xo

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!

Stacey...in a dash:)

Stacey Dash is keeping herself busy these days, so that means I am too! Here's a quick look at what she's doing...We were shooting the other day and I gave her a light day makeup look that was natural and that would last all day. All I had to keep touching up was her lips and her blush as she loves color in her face. We spent most of the time outside, so the look was very fresh and dewy. Check out some behind the scenes shots of our fun day.

Check out the pants:)

Her favorite lip color right now is Chanel's Coquette. It provides her the color she needs in a sheer form, so it just looks like a natural mouth. It's a great color for the summer, with a dab of YSL Golden Gloss in the pout:) xo
