Contouring And Highlighting Beauty Class At Sephora

   This morning beauty class at Sephora was a full house. It was on contouring and highlighting, a class that everybody wants to attend. What I decided to do was show a natural look using cream and a dramatic look using powder. This way we could reach everybody makeup style who came out to the class.

Lipsticks: Are You A Pink Lady Or A Cherry Bomb

Two lipstick shades that will always be classic on the red carpet are pink and red lip colors. Pink ladies, whose pledge is to act cool, to look cool and to be cool, til death do us part-think pink!. Many sassy and expressive actress like Jennifer Lawrence and music artist Katy Perry has been seen in videos, and in magazines wearing bright pink lips. Bright pink lipsticks are fun and youthful on everyone. It’s a great color for day and night. Plus bold pink lips allows you to wear a strong eye.
Now cherry bombs scream Hello Daddy! Hello Mom! I’m your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb
Hello world I’m your wild girl, I’m your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb. Daring and sultry ladies like music artists Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera are always seen wearing there signature red lips. Bold red lips is a lipstick color that makes you feel sexy. Despite misconception, every woman can wear a bold red lipstick. It’s dramatic, it’s flirty and it calls for a double take.
L’OREAL Paris Infallible Le Rouge lipsticks Fearless Fuschia and Bold Bordeaux are two fun shades that will be great on all skintone. The Infallible Le Rouge lipsticks are bold in color, creamy, moist, and hydrating to the lips. The best part about the Infallible Le Rouge lipsticks is it offers up to 10 hours of wear without drying your lips. So Glamxuriously spoil yourself with L’Oreal Paris’ playful pinks or rich reds, whether your a Pink Lady or Cherry Bomb…. you’re worth it.
Here are others non L’OREAL Paris pink and red lip colors that I luv.

If I had to pick one beauty product to have in my makeup kit today for the Golden Globes Awards it would have to be L’OREAL Paris Infallible Pro Spray & Set Makeup Extender Setting Spray. After giving my client a glamxurious makeup look I would want her makeup to stay fresh for hours while on the red carpet and during the award show. The setting spray will keep the makeup from smudging and settling into fine lines. With all those paparazzi around who need that nightmare of bad makeup.

What’s your must have makeup item if you were attending the Golden Globes?

Makeup: Color Correcting And Contouring On Brown Skin Women

I always get asked when I’m at Sephora from boggie down brown skin clients what do I use to achieve a flawless makeup look. Color correcting is a big thing for me when I’m applying makeup on clients and on myself. On deeper skin women I do a lot of color correcting under the eyes and around the lips. It’s ok to use two shades of foundation especially around the hairline or a medium foundation and a darker powder.

Finally makeup brands are hearing brown skin women cry who needs a little color correcting and or contouring kit. At the moment my favorite four items I use daily to achieve an even skin are listed below.  First Aid Beauty Eye Duty Triple Remedy Brighten, Depuff and Smooth in Deep

Glam New Year’s Makeup Look With Glitter & Lashes

This is a fun New Year’s Eve makeup look I did 5 years ago with Tia Williams and Essence Magazine for a Shake Your Beauty segment. It’s so funny to see how my makeup artistry has grown since then. But I had such a great time at the Essence magazine office creating this glam New Year’s Eve makeup look that I had to share it with you. It’s a simple makeup look that could be done tonight especially if you luv glitter, lashes and bronzer.
