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.

Connecticut Celebrity Makeup Artist Glam The Ladies On The View

As everyone know Sherri Shepherd is a wig lover and finally she shared her love with The View audience and fans. I was honor to work on the models some months back when she launched her collection with Tabitha Coffey and Daisy Fuentes for LUXHAIR.

Sherri collection consist of 11 synthetic styles in different length and shades. She has short styles for conservative woman and long flirty curls for the siren. I had the pleasure of being asked to key the segment for the 5 models. I brought in my bestie Tiffany to assist me with executing the looks. Because it is a daytime talk show I wanted the ladies to look naturally pretty and not to over the top with makeup. Can you believe I didn’t use eye lashes and/ or strips. I wanted the ladies makeup to look polish like The View target audience. 
My makeup of choice was 99.5 % from L’OREAL Paris USA. I used between the True Match & True Match Lumi Foundation. I did slightly dust them with Make Up For Ever HD powder. On the eyes I used a mix of HIP eye shadows & Infallible 24hr eyes shadow and eye liner. I lightly dust their cheeks with Stila cosmetics custom color blush and L’OREAL Paris True Match Powder Blush. On the lips I opt for L’OREAL Paris Colour Riche lipsticks and leGloss. So who said beauty has to be so expensive.
Here are fun backstage pictures of me getting some of the models makeup for TV and the actually video of Sherri Wig Line.

The Makeup Room for MTV 10 On Top: Most Stylin’ Stars Of The Year

While everybody was trying to figure out which of their favorite stars were going to make MTV list. I was backstage working on the makeup looks with my fab team. Elated that MTV Networks called me back to create a makeup look for their first fashion show. I had to create makeup looks for Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola from MTV Jersey Shore, Actress Molly Tarlov from MTV Awkward, Blogger GabiFresh, Musicain Elaine Bradlet from music group Neon Trees, and 22 models who are also fans of MTV 10 On Top TV Show.

I wanted to keep the models’ faces fresh, youthful, and effortless with the makeup. For each talent, I gave them a personal glam look. For Sammi, I gave her metallic smokey eyes, a nude lip, and illuminated her skin then topped it off with bronzer, her personal favorite. On Molly, I also kept her eyes smokey but I added a little golden shimmer to make her eyes pop. I used a light pink lipstick on her lips to keep her makeup soft and playful. On Elaine, I wanted to play up her rocker persona. She’s confident, cool, and hip that translated into giving her sultry eyes. All of the talents and models were treated to flirty mink like lashes from Urban Decay called Black Velvet. Urban Decay lashes are a must for makeup artists and ladies who love flirty lashes. On my last face GabiFresh, I wanted her to look trendy and current. The bold pink lips, and bronzed skin was more her personality so I played with more color on her.

When selecting makeup products I used Stila Cosmetics HD Stay All Day Foundation & Concealer, L’OREAL Paris Infallible eye shadows and Colour Caresse by Colour Riche Lipstick. Of course her lashes, I never go anywhere without Urban Decay lashes. 

The show aired on Sunday night and for anyone that didn’t hear, Rihanna claims the leading spot for MTV “10 On Top” music and fashion review.

What’s Your Electric Fantasie from L’OREAL Paris Project Runway Collection #DRLOREAL

Last week I have such a great time doing a L’OREAL Paris event for the Project Runway Electric Fantasie Limited Edition Makeup Collection at Duane Reade. This event they actually pulled out the red carpet…literally. This season collection is to die for that I’m sure it will sell out really fast. 
Artsy Muse, Enchanted Queen, Seductive Empress, & Wise Mystic are the names of the collection. 
The collection that spoke most to me and the one that I was obsessed with is called Wise Mystic because of the lipstick and lip gloss shade. I luv the iridescent lip gloss, it looks great by itself, with the lipstick, or any lipstick shade.
Two of the invited bloggers that I got to do makeup on were  Tineey  and Style Island. Read their insight about this GLAMXURIOUS event on their blog.

Putting on The Wise Mystic Collection on Tineey…we put have on the same collection.

Stila Cosmetics HD Stay All Day Foundation & Concealer
High Definition makeup has become the new trend in the beauty industry with makeup lovers. Not sure if many woman really understand why they are buying it but they know along with BB cream they must have it. Last month Stila cosmetics came out with 16 shades of HD foundation and I must say, it’s EVERYTHING! They did very well with producing shades that will work on all skin tones. I have been using it on assignments and my talent skin always look flawless on television. I actually like the look better than airbrush makeup. So many reasons why I’m a fan of this product, one being that it comes with a full coverage concealer that is inside of the cap. No more guessing what shade of concealer to purchase and carrying extra products. The concealer cover dark circles and blemishes very well. Both the foundation and concealer has a creamy texture that is oil free and gives a flawless full coverage finish that last all day. Even though it comes with a mini foundation brush, I like using my fingers and a damp beauty blender for a natural finish. 

I do like that it looks amazing on someone who doesn’t wear much makeup if applied very light and with Stila Beauty Balm. If your a makeup junkie and/or makeup artist check out Stila HD Foundation and Concealer. It’s definitely worth having in your makeup case.
