I Love Doing Face Charts For My Clients

Had a great time with my client Rebekkah Lavalley today at Whip Salon. I luv how her face looked and right after I felt like playing with a face chart. I haven’t done a face charts in months it’s time that I start doing them again cuz I’m getting rusty. I used all of Jane Iredale makeup on her to create this look. I always like when my clients come in and say give me bold eyes. So I did just that, I gave her soap opera eyes my favorite kind.

Do you like when your makeup artist give you a face chart?

Friday Was Really A Sexy Day At Work

Can I just say that today was EVERYTHING! I was so busy with so many different services that I was definitely fulfilled with it all. I wish that I had two more hands to help capture my day today. I luv when I get booked for a variety of services; pretty pouts, sultry eyes, eye brow shaping, glam makeup, lashes, and makeup lessons.

One of my clients today was Rosemarie who came in to do a makeup lesson with me. I actually enjoy my Makeup Lessons & What’s In Your Bag services because I really get to learn my clients. I get to look into their makeup bags to see what makeup goodies they like. Rosemarie and I had such a great time I don’t even know how we finished it on time. 

All of the skincare & makeup I used on Rosemarie.

It’s 6pm so let the Holiday Stroll begin, the stroll was from 6pm-8pm. We had a great turn out, Art Meets Makeup Artistry. I met a lot of great people tonight, kids, teens ladies, & men. I wish I had time to capture pics of artist Allison Meyler the other person who was a part of this cool art event with me. #HERESJOHNNY

Here is Allison abstract work that will remain up for viewing at Whip Salon this month…luv

Smooth Luxurious Eye Shadow For The Holidays

This is my favorite time of year because during the holiday season I love to play with a lot of bold colors and shimmery products. It’s the perfect time to have fun with your makeup. One of my new favorite item this year is Jane Iredale Eye Shere Liquid Eye Shadow.

What I like about these liquid eye shadows is that it’s a fast drying long wearing shadow that will last all day. The texture is very smooth and easy to apply. Once dry the shadows will not crease or smear so you don’t have to worry about touching up the vibrant colors. They come in 4 beautiful shades: Brown Silk, Champagne Silk, Peach Silk & Teal Silk.

So don’t just let your jewelry be the only thing that bling, bring shimmer lids into your holiday look.

Private Holiday Shopping Event At Lucy’s Westport

Today was a fun filled day for me. I spent half the day at Whip Salon and the other half at Lucy’s Westport. Lucy’s had a fancy private holiday shopping event for their customers at the Westport location from 4pm-8pm. Their customers were treated to hors d’oeuvres, wine, sparkling water, and a celebrity makeup artist-moi!

Lisa & Patrice were excellent hosts to their guest. Their staff was just as lovely engaging and being personal shoppers for their customers. My partner for the afternoon was makeup artist Daisy. She helped me out with pampering the ladies with makeup. We had such a nice time in Westport, luv all of the fashonista we met. Anytime a woman would come out in that horrible weather she must luv fashion. But if you saw the fab clothing that Lucy’s sell your understand why the event was successful. If your just starting your holiday shopping definitely make a trip to do your shopping for that fancy lady in your life at Lucy’s Westport & Ridgefield. Below you will find pics from the event.

Last night at Whip Salon it was a girls night out feeling. We had a group of Ridgefield ladies book the salon for both hair & makeup. They were attending The Fresh Air Fund’s Fall Benefit at Pier 60, Chelsea Piers in New York. It was definitely a glam evening of fabulous fashion, bling jewelry & lots of sexy shoes. Here’s a peek inside of the Ridgefield women getting ready for a night out on the town to the big apple.

Wendy has become my muse…she let’s me do fun makeup looks on her.

I had so much fun with Linda. She always wanted a smokey makeup look so I gave her a soft smokey eye. By New Year’s she will be ready for one of my glamxurious looks.

Fun Day At Work With The Mannequin Challenge 

Today was so much fun at work as we attempt to try the Mannequin Challenge. It’s a lot of work trying to get everyone to stand still. We could not stop laughing, moving, and blinking. We decided this will be a practice run in later go all out once we get my girl Amy, the marketing genius involved. Johnny and I came up with this idea 💡 to get all the staff including some of our clients in the next one. The only client in the one we did today is Maria Reyes, she was so excited about getting in the one we did today. Take a look but understand the next one with be HOTTTT!!

Oribe Gives Me Sexy Hair Everytime

Most of you know that makeup brings me happiness, but hair is another obsession for me. When I’m on set, at fashion shows & photo shoots in New York many of the talented hair stylists use Oribe. That’s how I fell in love with Oribe, their signature scent would fill the room like no other. The signature scent Cote d’Azur, will awakens you with hints of citrus-soaked Italian bergamot, pink lemons, white peach, cassis and muguet, balanced with Aomori apples and leafy greens. Cedarwood, white amber and musk lend their soft woody notes, while Cuba’s national flower, la mariposa blanca, creates a sensual and invigorating experience throughout the day.

Two of my New York ladies, my client Zulema Arroyo-Farley, Founder & Executive Director of Artz Cure Sarcoma & Founder/Hair Stylist of  Dry & Dash Mia Orzo luv Oribe hair products just as much as myself. Whenever we are on set together Oribe is always being used. Oribe is a luxury hair products that gives anyone who uses it GREAT HAIR! The genius (Daniel Kaner, Oribe Canales & Tev Finger) behind the brand really understand women. They understand how important hair is to us women. So I treated my hair to everything I was able to put in my hair. The Gold Lust Collection gives the hair so much brilliance and shine, see for yourself.  To me, if you treat your hair to a great piece of jewelry, shoes, & handbag but not luxury hair products then your not complete.

What’s In Your Makeup Bag

Today my first “What’s In Your Makeup Bag” at Whip Salon was with Amy Conciatori Colamaria. She came in with her basket full of makeup & makeup brushes! Amy had some goodies, I was impressed. After going through her makeup bag we threw out some old things and I taught Amy how to use the products that she had by applying a full makeup application on her. I gave her lots of tips & tricks for her to use when she’s home doing her own makeup. What a fun 1 hour spent  with Amy. She’s awesome luv her energy/personality. Lots of Prosecco & laughter within that hour that I had a blast with her. Through the laughter Amy managed to write down a lot of the customize tips that I gave her for her under eyes challenge. I can’t wait to hear the feedback when Amy return to see if she walked away with learning at least 3  things.

Thanks Amy for booking an appointment with me, you are a GREAT STUDENT!
