Around And Around

My week of red carpets...

On Monday I made up Sophia Bush for the premiere of Green Hornet.

Her lashes are stunning!  I used DiorShow Extase mascara with Ardell individual lashes.

Wednesday I made up Chloë Sevigny for the premiere of Big Love.  

The orangey red shade on her lips is MAC Lady Danger.

Sunday night I made up Thor actress Jaimie Alexander for the InStyle Golden Globes party. 

Her powdery pink lips are NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Roman Holiday.

I hope this gives you some fun ideas for your own makeup!

Dancin Down On Sunset Strip

November was a whirlwind of work and then right before Thanksgiving I got my tonsils out.  I'm still recuperating from that now, unfortunately.  In fact,  I had to cancel a shoot today.  I haven't done that in years!

I've got a cool editorial in the new issue of i-D magazine featuring Nadine Coyle from Girls Aloud.  I don't have the scans yet, so for now here's a picture of me and Alice Hawkins (amazing friend and photographer from the shoot) raising hell (yeah right!) at the Rainbow. :)

Back in action soon!

Jah Provide The Bread

On Thursday I did Corinne Bailey Rae's makeup for her performance on The Tonight Show. Check it out!

I get a lot of requests for makeup and beauty tips for women with darker skin tones, so here are some notes on the products I used to create the look.

For the complexion I used Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in #9 with a drop of #11 to keep the color warm.

I highlighted the apples of her cheeks with NARS Blush in Lovejoy

Her bold shadow shades were from the Chanel Eye Shadow Quad Murano

I lined her eyes with MAC Eye Kohl in Smolder

I then coated her lashes with MAC Opulash mascara, which is one of my new favorites...

On her lips I used NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Bahama

and topped it off with Chanel Hydramax + Active Lip Care to keep the lips hydrated and slightly glossy...

I finished off the look with a light dusting of MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder along the t-zone to prevent shine, but keep the skin looking fresh!

Hopefully these ideas inspire you with your own looks!

We're Not The Same

Hi guys! Sorry this blog is so dead lately, but I have lots of fun things coming up that I can't wait to share with you and have you be a part of!

Back in February I went to New York to do makeup for the Ting Tings as a part of the new Tommy Hilfiger Loud campaign.

Here's a cool behind the scenes video...



and here's the final commercial!



As you can probably tell, that job was a lot of fun! :)
