Earlier this month on my way to Vermont I had a great time chatting with Kerri, Editor of GalTime about some of my favorite beauty secrets. Every makeup artists have their own personal beauty secret they use on set to help make their job easy. I shared with GalTime, 3 of mines. Here is one and read what my other two beauty secrets are on GalTime. I hope you love them, maybe your be able to use them on yourself.
We all have a beauty “trick” or two that we can’t live without.
Maybe your favorite hand lotion doubles as a flyaway tamer, or you use clear mascara to tame unruly brows. (I like using clear makeup primer on the backs of my hands. It minimizes pores and fine lines, making them look younger!)
Here are three more red-carpet tested, insider “secrets” to call your own, courtesy of celebrity makeup artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis.
Don’t Sweat It: Who needs blotting papers when you have recycled brown napkins? Gomez-Duplessis never leaves home without them.
“When I lived in New Orleans and worked outside on set, I needed something that was going to absorb the sweat/oil on my clients’ faces. I didn’t want to keep adding loose, translucent powder every five minutes, and blotting sheets weren’t working against the humid weather. These napkins are free and won’t irritate sensitive skin.”
I started my day earlier in Chelsea doing makeup at designer Cesar Galindo show for New York Fashion Week. I end my day on the Upper East Side doing bridal makeup at L’OREAL Paris Cathedral with Tiffany who is also a L’OREAL Paris Makeup Artist. The event was from 5-8pm and the register brides received a makeup consultant, complimentary bridal makeup application, and a goody bag from L’OREAL Paris. It’s always a treat when brides from Connecticut attend my events in New York.
For a softer eye I lined her eyes with L’OREAL Paris Infallible 24hr Eye Shadow In Eternal Black.
The L’OREAL Paris products I used to create the look. The only thing missing is the L’OREAL Paris Voluminous Power Volume 24hr mascara that the bride get to keep.

It was a sad day for me because it’s the last day of Mercedes Benz & New York Fashion Week. But one of my many highlights was that I was able to work with the talented Ashunta Sheriff. Ashunta was the key makeup artist for Cesar Galindo Spring 2013 Collection. Today show was held at The Mohawk Group. A leading flooring design company that carpeted the runway for Cesar Galindo’s show.
The look that Ashunta selected for today show was fresh, and clean with a strong custom purple lip that she made and was inspired by her nail shade. No eye liner, lashes, lip liner, and contouring, such a refreshing makeup look. The foundation I used on both models were Stila Cosmetics Stay All Day Concealer & Foundation. For the cheeks I used Stila Cosmetics Custom Blush in Pink. On their lashes I selected L’OREAL Paris Voluminious Volume Power 24hr mascara.
