NICKI MINAJ And LIL WAYNE Behind The Scene for High School Music Video

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

I was so happy to see that one of my favorite single High School on Nicki Minaj latest album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded-The Re-UP music video snippet has been released by Grizz Lee. Not only do I love this upbeat track but Lil Wayne is also on this single. In the video it shows Lil Wayne & Birdman happy, having a great time with Nicki. It’s a side of them that many never get to see so it just made me smile and I wanted to share this with you guys. Definitely brings back memories of when I did videos with the guys several years ago. Thanks Grizz Lee for making my day today!

Stylist Brad Goreski Gives Old Navy A Spring Upgrade

Today at the Old Navy Showroom I met up with TV Personaliy & Stylist Brad Goreski to groom him for his press event today with Old Navy. Brad is always fun to work with and I look his dapper style. Today he was rockin DSQUARED2 looking like the guys, Dean & Dan Caten. Because Brad has great hair and skin it’s always easy to style his hair and doing his makeup. To maintain his look I use: L’OREAL Paris Revitalift Miracle Blur, Stila All Day Foundation, L’OREAL Paris True Match Powder, L’OREAL Paris EverStyle Texture Tousle Creme, and Elnett Satin Hairspray.

How I Kept Brad Goreski Flawless For His Old Navy Segment on Katie Couric

It started out really ugly and I was a little disappointed because I got up to do my hair and makeup really glamxuriously for Brad Goreski. I thought I left ugly weather in Connecticut it was ugly, but by the time I got to New York it was uglier. Regardless how much Elnett satin hairspray I sprayed in my hair, it just wasn’t cute any longer. I arrived at Old Navy in SOHO and set up my area before Brad arrived. I’m a fan of Brad so I knew what products I would need to groom him for the “How To Upgrade Your Style With Old Navy” segment with Katie Couric. I selected all of my to go to men products from L’OREAL Paris and my favorite hair products. For makeup I selected Stila Cosmetics Stay All Day HD Foundation and I used L’OREAL Paris True Match Powder.
The L’OREAL Paris products I used to groom Brad Goreski with

I knew Brad had entered the store because I could hear his voice as he was greeted by the ladies from Old Navy. When they introduced Brad to me he was more fabulous than on his Bravo Reality TV Show, It’s a Brad, Brad World. He was wearing this amazing fuchsia Burberry trench coat, purple shirt, eggplant bow tie and black fleece pants. A look that only a trendy stylist like Brad could pull off…so a’ la mode.http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js_uacct = “UA-3446372-1”; urchinTracker();

Effortless L’OREAL Paris Spring Makeup At Project Runway During Fashion Week

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

Yesterday Project Runway call time for hair & makeup was 4:30am. Regardless of how early the call time is every year, I always look forward to doing makeup at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Getting booked to work New York Fashion Week always excite me. 
One of the makeup looks for the morning show was an effortless look. It was all about minimum foundation with luminous skin. No eyeliner, no powder, no contouring, no highlighting, and no lashes.
To pull of the fresh face makeup look, I used 1 drops of L’OREAL Paris Day Lotion, 1 drop of L’OREAL Paris True Match Lumi Foundation, and 1 drop of L’OREAL Paris Magic Lumi. I mixed all 3 products on my palette and I used my fingers to apply to the model face. A perfect spring look; young, soft, and fresh.

I miss Michael Kors on this season Project Runway so I decided to wear my Michael Kors vest
Backstage at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week doing makeup on one of Project Runway models
I really luv this effortless look, Magic Lumi Primer is amazing to achieving that luminous look

Sundance Day 2: How I Glammed Up L’OREAL Paris Here are all the great L’OREAL Paris makeupBeauty Blogger Kandee Johnson

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

I started my morning with a request from Anita Hill for hair & makeup at the Entertainment Weekly Magazine Lounge inside L’OREAL Paris Suite. Once done one of my favorite ladies, Mora, Director Of Public Relations came at 10:00am to escort me over to The Skylodge hotel. This will be my first time meeting and working with L’OREAL Paris beauty blogger Kandee Johnson. When I arrived to the room I was greeted by Kandee mom and her precious daughter. Kandee came out and we clicked right away…after determining we are both huggers. 
Mora shared with me what Kandee day was going to be like and the look that was needed. Since Kandee was going to be doing video with The Sundance Channel I knew I had to pop her makeup just a little. I luved, luved, luved, her face. What a great canvas to work on, I told our VP of Public Relations later that I would like for Kandee to be my muse. Because she  wears makeup very well. 
On Kandee eyes, I used a forest green shadow along with the navy lacquer liner  to create a day smokey eye
Here are all the great L’OREAL Paris makeup I used on L’OREAL Paris Beauty Blogger Kandee Johnson for Sundance 2013

First Day At Sundance Film Festival Was With Robert Redford

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

My first day of Sundance Film Festival 2013 kicked off with working with the king of Sundance, Robert Redford once again. The day started off getting dropped off to the Egyptian Theater where I will groom Mr. Redford for all of his appearances and interviews that he had lined up. After getting him ready I packed up my hair & makeup kit, then I was brought over to The Sundance House HP where the rest of his press junkets would take place. One of the Entertainment Correspondent was CNN Host Nischelle Turner who I have actually done makeup on in the past. I was so excited to see her and actually so proud of her. We were able to give each other luv for only a few minutes. Such a supported person she shared with Mr. Redford how we met and that I was a great makeup artist. How sweet.  
 
Everyone always ask what do I use when I groom Robert Redford. Here are some of the L’OREAL Paris items I use:

L’OREAL PARIS Men’s Expert Hydra-Energetic Ice Cold Eye Roller
L’OREAL Paris Men’s Expert Vita Lift SPF 15 Anti-Wrinkle & Firming Moisturizer 
L’OREAL Paris RevitaLift Triple Power Deep-Acting Moisturizer
L’OREAL Paris RevitaLift Miracle Blur
L’OREAL Paris Lip Balm 
L’OREAL Paris EverStyle Texture Series Tousle Creme
L’OREAL Paris EverStyle Texture Series Beach Spray

Male Grooming: On Set For Rock Band Imagine Dragon Music Video

In November, I worked on a fun music video for indie rock band Imagine Dragon new song Radioactive that took place in Old Bethpage, NY. I was ask to only do makeup for the amazing Actor Lou Diamond Phillips. LDP as he like to be called is a childhood actor that I was a huge fan of. I’ve been watching him since 1986, some of my favorite movies and TV shows he was in was of course La Bamba, The Three Kings, Stand and Deliver, Young Guns, Courage Under Fire. In recently, Law & Order SVU, Numbers, Filly Brown, and Southland. So when makeup artist Joann Simkin told me that it was going to be the most easiest assignment I ever did she was correct. LDP was easy to groom and his makeup didn’t move so he didn’t need a lot of touch ups to say we shot outside the entire time. But it was freezing outside so that helped a lot. 
LDP kept both hairstylist Shavaughn and I entertain on set the entire time, even in the car as we headed home. I had so much respect for him because he arrived alone, no bodyguards, no entourage  no manager, nada. He was like a part of the crew that’s how you know he’s a real actor…he came to work.

I prep him with L’OREAL Paris Men’s Expert Vita Lift Anti-Wrinkle & Firming Moisturizer to hydrate his face. Than L’OREAL Paris Hydra Energetic Ice Cold Eye Roller for under eyes circles and puffiness I used Stila cosmetics Stay All Day HD Foundation & Concealer and to keep his lips moist I chose OCC Feathered Lip Balm. I dust his face with L’OREAL Paris True Match Powder then very lightly using a large powder brush I tap him with Make Up For Ever HD Powder.

A Classic Winter Bridal Makeup Look On Your Wedding Day

A winter bride, especially when there is a light snowfall, can be beautifully romantic and very fairy tale-esque. There is something elegant and magical about having a wedding amidst the natural beauty of an all-white winter with the decadence of fallen snow as a backdrop. To become this celestial winter bride, sparkle less, shimmer more and turn your winter makeup into a winter wonderland.
What’s not so fabulous is dreary and harsh winter light that can make any bride look less stunning in their pictures. Winter wedding makeup should be different from the make-up you would normally wear. To pull off that classic radiant winter makeup look it is important you have it professionally done.

Last minute touch up’s before pictures
My Darien, CT bride wanted classic makeup on her wedding day.
First, start with a luminous foundation like L’OREAL Paris Lumi True Match to give you a subtle healthy glow. You can also mix a small amount of Benefit cosmetics High Beam into your foundation to achieve a dewy radiant glow. On the eyes select, shimmers of white, silvers, and pink, for the lids only. On the lips, glossy nudes and poinsettia reds are classic winter wedding looks. Smashbox cosmetics have the best show stopping, high shine lip gloss, called Reflection High Shine. When selecting a blush color, I prefer Stila cosmetics Custom Color blush in a soft shade pink (nothing too rosy) that will make your cheeks look flushed. Their Custom Color blush reacts with your skins pH to create your customized shade that’s perfect only for you. Bronzer is always a girl best friend but it should look effortless. Stila Cosmetics Custom Color blush in Bronze is perfect for all skin tone. To finish the look, select a full flirty mink style lashes, I’m obsessed with Urban Decay Black Velvet lashes. They will play up the romantic winter bridal makeup look. Be sure to nourish and moisturize your lips daily with lip conditioner weeks before your wedding day. Sara Happ One Luxe Balm Lip Slip is the best item for the lips, I’m sure your hubby would agree.
