BEAUTY: Spring Forward With Your Makeup

Read Issue 

Here in New York Metro Area we have been experiencing gorgeous spring weather. So it was easy to get in the mood the day of the photo shoot. When CeCi Johnson, Founder of CeCi New York text me that she wanted me to be a part of  CeCiStyle Magazine spring shoot I was elated. Spring, is one of my favorites seasons, beautiful weather and bloomed flowers; some of my favorites are tulips, bleeding hearts, anthurium, and alpinia purpurata.

CeCi managed once again to put together an amazing team of women to create the look. One of my bestie Melissa Paldino worked on hair, Helga Schaefer was the amazing photographer, and her assistant was a twitter friend that I finally got a chance to meet in work with, Andrea Langer.
My makeup palettes and inspiration look 
Just finished mixing foundations and highlighter colors

Giving CeCi a soft brow for this look.

Let the fun begin…luv doing the eyes.

Always a perfectionist on set

 Luv This shot Andrea!!!

*Inglot AMC Eye Shadow Shine #26

New Nail Color:Glamxurious For My Glam Girls

Excited that my custom L’OREAL Paris “GLAMXURIOUS” nail polish finally arrived. When deciding on the actual polish that I wanted to do I knew it had to have shimmer with a little pearl iridescent. Of course it had to bling just a little when the light hits it. The color I wanted the base color to look more grey and white because it looks great on all skin tones. I can’t wait to rock my custom polish.

From The Eyes Of NBA Makeup Artist: First Day at NBA All Star

written by Connecticut / New York Makeup Artist

Call time for the first day was at 3:00pm, car service picked me up and brought me over to the Amway Arena. The first day I like to go over a little early to set up, talk with the ladies in the production office just to see if there were any changes, pick up a daily run down sheet, and  talk with wardrobe. 
Make Up For Ever sponsored the makeup for our fabulous team thanks to Makeup Artist Debra Gutierrez. So after looking at the fashion selected by Niki Hall I went to the makeup room to meet up with my girls who arrived around 1pm. The girls help me set up my area then we had a quick meeting to go over the makeup looks and schedule.

The first day is always easy and quiet so after the event was over we all went out to Tier Nightclub. The party was presented by CIROC & CROWN ROYAL with special guests: Lebron, Melo, Chris Paul, Jermaine Dupri, Terrance J, & Dougie E. Fresh.

The makeup items that I selected from Make Up For Ever for the dancers to wear were: 
Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick Satin Fuchsia #36, 
Aqua Lip Lip Pencil in Fuchsia #16c 
HD Blush Microfinish Cream in Fresh Pink #3
Aqua Cream in Golden Copper #12
HD Invisible Cover Foundation
HD Microfinish Powder

VH-1 Divas; Backstage Getting Dancers Glam

http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js _uacct = “UA-3446372-1”; urchinTracker();

After talking with the talented choreographer Fatima Robinson about the makeup look during Mary J Blige and Kelly Clarkson rehearsal. Fatima shared with me what she wanted for the dancers so I knew I had to use products that was going to last the dancers all evening. I prep all their faces with Maya Water and OCC lip balm for their lips. On the eyes I selected L’OREAL Paris new Infallible 24hrs eye shadows. On the lips I used both L’OREAL Paris Colour Riche leGloss in Raspberry Splash  and Stila Cosmetics Lip Enamel lip gloss in Giggle.  
Enjoy some of the backstage shots of me getting some of the fabulous female dancers ready. I worked backstage with Celebrity Makeup Artist & Hair Stylist Leo Eley who worked on the hair and we were a great team together. I think my highlight was seeing Denzel Washington and all I can remember hearing his tone not sure what he was saying. My brain completely shut down and Denzel sound like Charlie Brown teacher…womp womp womp womp. Ladies 50 cent was also backstage on stage, he looked very handsome and actually he may have been the only guy that was dressed for the occasion, at least that I saw. Travie McCoy was such a gentlemen when he sit in my chair. Very sweet guy and thinking me with a hug and a kiss on the check, I can’t complain. I did see the handsome makeup artist Sam Fine for 30 seconds backstage. Sorry that I couldn’t have more pics for you but cameras was off limits in 90% of the area backstage and I was super busy running around.

Project Runway Makeup Collection Gets Glam At Central Park

http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js _uacct = “UA-3446372-1”; urchinTracker();

Thursday I was schedule to do makeup applications at BIBI Salon NYC in Harlem. I knew I wanted to use the L’OREAL PARIS & Project Runway exclusive makeup collection. I really love the collection a lot and have been using it on assignments. 

One of the ladies Barbara wanted something glamxurious but natural.   I selected something fun and wanted to give her a little pop to the eyes since Barbara was attending Central Park AUTUMN IN THE PARK: An Evening of Cocktails, Dinner, and Dancing.
 

On Barbara I used from the L’OREAL PARIS USA & Project Runway exclusive collection:

#415 CHARMING COCKATOO’S GAZE eye shadow palette
#225 WATCHFUL OWL’S blush
#785 SULTRY RAVEN’S POUT lipstick

(not from the Project Runway collection) 
L’OREAL PARIS COLOUR RICHE leGloss in Nude Touch *the same color I used on Jennifer Aniston for Glamour Magazine “Women of The Year”

So Barbara could touch up her lips I gave her my last L’OREAL PARIS USA leGloss in Nude Touch

Barbara and her husband also made it on Patrick Mc Mullan page that evening…how fabulous is that!!!!
