Radio Personality Downtown Lesli Brown 102.9 fm


Downtown Lesli Brown from 102.9FM had her launch party on Saturday night for her magazine call “DA COST”. When she told me in February 08′ that she wanted to start her magazine she was surprise that I didn’t knock her down. I embraced her love & passion and said just tell me what you need me to do.




As many know my friendship with Lesli and her family especially with one her older sister’s…Natalie Martin. Her two request were for me to do her makeup for the launch party. Her next request is for me to do writing and submit pictures. I can and will do that as well. So when she called me two weeks later with the date, I locked in my books and told her I will be there. Once I lock a date in my book I will show up doesn’t matter where I am, in state or out of state.

Because I closed the studio and because I was going to attend her party I asked Lesli to come to my home that evening so I can get ready and not arrive to late. If I was to go to her house I wouldn’t make it in time.
Lesli is so easy to do she has great skin and amazing features that it feels like painting a perfect canvas. She has great skin like Shontel Sheri (Miss Sassy) that she can wear any makeup look I put on her. Normally, Lesli is all over the place. She has lots of energy and this evening she was quiet. I knew she was nervous she didn’t want anything to eat or drink. Her phone was blowing up like crazy with questions from the venue, people asking to get on the guest list and all the other calls you get when throwing a party.



Shontel and I arrived to the event a little after 11pm. We had a great time and Lesli really went all out. She had the red carpet upon arriving, a photographer to take pictures at the door, outside 2 large TV’s playing music videos, her front door girls were very pleasant and professional. When I arrived Lesli made sure our drinks were taking care of. Almost 90% of the people came in white as the host requested.




Shontell (Miss Sassy) met some of hernew fans that evening. Her boss was also at the party so that was funny she ran into him earlier I believe at the Hornets game with her BF.





Miss Ashley Jinky from Old School 106.7 was also there she has been popping up everywhere lately. But it’s always good to see her. She is such a sweet girl.

I am so proud of Lesli…I wish her much success.

Jazz Singer Stephanie Jordan


Jazz Singer Stephanie Jordan performed on Saturday at Jazz Fest for 3:45pm. I met Stephanie Jordan last year at the NBA All-Star. She was one of the celeb music artist that I was scheduled to do makeup on. Stephanie and I hit it off like right away. We have a lot in common with being in the entertainment industry and not having a manager, a publicist, (well Stephanie has Vincent Sylvain )and an assistant like many people do. We handle all of our own business and still being true to our talent. So every time she hires me we always have a lot to talk about. So we have became good friends and I have met so many of her nice family members.

Since we talk a lot we decided to start the makeup application early. What I like about Stephanie style is that she is always GLAM, ELEGANT and CLASSIC with her hair, makeup, dresses and jewelry. Now she calls me the QUEEN of BLING, but yesterday Stephanie wore this amazing swarovski crystal bracelet and earrings. LOVED IT!!! So you know my mouth dropped when I saw it. All my money always goes on expensive handbags, jewelry, and property. I’ll treat myself to shoes sometimes and I am not big on having a fancy car. My favorite car would be an AUDI TT. I know right the Queen of BLING. So when I saw all that bling I knew I had to make her eye make pop. Last year I gave I thought great eyes and when she showed me the article in the paper the makeup looked good but I had to do something really bold to the eyes for this year Jazz Fest performance.



Stephanie has been looking at a lot of old Hollywood look so I thought red lips…a no brainer but I wanted to give her a BGD eye. When Stephanie started to show me everything I got quiet and had to think of a look that would be great on stage, for pictures and a look that is Stephanie. What I love about working with Stephanie is that she never tells me what to do or say “Oh this is not how I wear my makeup”. She understands the different type of makeup applications; everyday makeup, photo makeup, stage make, black-n-white makeup, etc…Because she has nice lashes I just gave her a few instead of doing a strip or a full set of lashes.



I took about 1 hour and some minutes to finish her up. We had a few interruptions everybody was stopping by and calling so I think I finished her up and a good time.


If anybody see pics please send them to me. I’ll be back home in a few days.

VIP SERIES:BGD HOST AT W HOTEL


I just wanted to thank everyone that came out to the first W. HOTEL VIP SERIES that I helped host with my friends. I also would like to thank the staff at the W. Hotel for selecting me and viewing me as one of New Orleans top VIP people. I didn’t eat before boarding the plane, didn’t eat on the way to the event, and didn’t eat at the event. So, all I had was shots, that Jakki, Lane and the bartender made. I had the special EARTH DAY drink which was really good and something I put together using Grey Goose and pineapple juice and a splash of lemon & lime. It was really refreshing that I think I had one way to many at the end of the night. It was suppose to be done with at 8:30pm but we had so much fun that we left a little after 11pm.

Just know as MISS SASSY said, I had so many moments that I don’t remember half of it. I think I was so happy to have friends there and to have a great time with everyone. It’s usually hard to put groups together but this group nobody was side eyeing anyone, being mean, needing extra attention, and all the typical BS. So, I was relaxed and just had my crew who I love. A few couldn’t make it but we had a FAB time and drinks for everybody. I wish I could post all 200 pics but here are some.

Florida Brides

I just booked two Florida weddings for this year!! Last weekend bride Katie was from West Palm Beach, Florida. So, I have to get the body right if I stay a day or two to hit the beach;) I don't have all the details just yet but both brides of course will be getting the Queen Package. I don't know who their wedding planners are but I would like to work with wedding planner Shannon Wilson. I like her style and the weddings she does. So hopefully I will get to work with her one day. I know Florida has so many more great wedding planners so I would like to work with them all. The two brides I have are located in South Beach and West Palm Beach. I guess the women in Florida love my style of makeup. Last year I did really well in Tampa doing makeup. I was booked all day with full makeup application. Tampa is very nice very clean and the women are really into fashion.

Counting down my days before I head back to Florida.

Girls Night Tonight

Tonight Miss Sassy and I will be getting together after I get off. I don’t have to go in today until 11:30 am. This is a really late time for me on Saturday so my day has started off very good. I get to take a long shower, walk around the house not rushing, eat, work out, and blog with you guys. Miss Sassy and I will catch the end of the French Quarter Festival. We don’t have nothing really plan but just walking around, drinking and almost play tourists. Erin Carter my hairstylist mentioned to me last night that she would like to join us so we’ll see.

Enjoy your day today

Get The NARS Earthy Smoky Look

written by Makeup Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis

On the runways, makeup artists traded in the usual black for softer shades like brown, teal, and gray, for a rich, smoldering look that perfectly matches edgy-classic fashions. NARS created this earthy smoky look that is easy to do. This look can be great for a day or evening look.

For a smoldering combo of sultry browns, apply copper shadow to the lids, the inner corners, and at the base of the lower lash lines. Follow with a twig-tone shadow in the creases, blended up towards the brow bones using a smudge brush.

TRY NARS DUO EYESHADOW in Isolde (frosted ginger/ shimmering copper) or NARS SINGLE EYE SHADOW in Fez (velvety cocoa)

Use a nude pink blush to bring out bone structure, brushing the color just beneath the cheekbones. The low-key shade will give the face color, without overpowering the eyes. Highlight temples with a sheer, golden shade of blush or highlighter.

TRY NARS Blush Dolce Vita or NARS Blush Albatross

Prime lips with a vitamin-enriched lip treatment and line them with a nude liner, blending the color towards the center of the lips. Finish with a layer of gloss in a shiny shade of pinky-nude.

TRY NARS Lip liner Pencil Jilted Lover and NARS Lip Gloss Female Trouble
