A Little Pampering Service Is What A Girl Need

While having a little ME TIME I’m going over my notes one last time before tomorrow beauty cluster class that I’ll be teaching in West Farms, CT. I normally go to Cool Nail Spa in Brookfield because it’s 5mins from my home. Each time I have visited here I have gotten Zoey, a very sweet girl. I can get my foot rub for hours, what’s your favorite service to get at the nail shop?

When You Have A Hell Of A Day What Do You Eat

Do you ever have a day when you come home from work in need something really good to eat because it was that kind of day? Today is that day and I’m so glad I always stock my fridge with treats. I’m not suppose to have this but today I will! My favorite is Talenti gelato Caramel Cookie Crunch, what’s yours?

This Is What I Love About Connecticut Sunday Mornings

It was so GORG out this morning that I had to go sit outside by the lake, wile enjoying a few glasses of champagne. It’s so quiet, so peaceful, just listening to the water relax me so much. This is one of my favorite past time, I wish I could spend more time out here but when the sun come out I have to go. Because of my lupus and the meds I burn really bad but I get my time in as much as I can…Look at this view!

Practicing Doing A Chunky Glitter Eye Makeup Look

 

Today I was trying out a fun glitter eye makeup look on one of my face muse, Kassie. It’s one of the makeup looks that I will be teaching at Sephora Beauty Cluster Class. I love contouring as much as the next makeup lover but I wanted this look to have one focus in that’s the eyes. I was very pleased with the flawless complexion I was able to give her thanks to the beauty blender. Oh, Don’t talk about the brows because I didn’t get there yet in this picture as well as my chip nail, hahaaaaa!

Beauty Blueprint Teaches Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists How To Get Work In The Beauty Industry

June 22,2016 | United States | 
The best part about Beauty Blueprint is that you can get information about your career without leaving home. Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists take courses but no one teaches them on how to get work.
New York, United States, June 22,2016 — Connecticut Celebrity Makeup Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis was recently in New York at MUD School speaking to young up and coming makeup artists and hair stylists about getting started in the industry. She gave the graduating class a snippet of what Beauty Blueprint, her new consulting agency, is all about. Brandy coached the MUD students on what it will take to become a successful artist in the field. There are so many bloggers showing how to create makeup looks and hair styles but their are no professional makeup artists or hair stylists who actually work in the industry showing and speaking to talent on how to get work and the industry.

Gomez-Duplessis stated that this is why she started Beauty Blueprint. She would get students graduating from a makeup school with certificate in hand but clueless on where to start, who to call, and what to do. Brandy wants others to book her consulting service even if they were in smaller towns and could not get to New York to meet with her. With all of the technology we have Gomez-Duplessis said consulting with her clients over Skype is the best way to do business, it’s still personal and intimate. The client can decide how often they would need her service. 
Brandy said when she started in the industry, she lived in New Orleans and didn’t have a manager or a publicist. She found her road on how to be a high demand makeup artist and wants to share tips, tricks, and best practices on what worked for her. I worked with so many A-List celebrities because I knew how to brand myself. So with Beauty Blueprint clients can now hire me to learn how to build themselves as a branded in demand artist or stylist.

Prom Makeup On A Budget Using Sephora Collection Makeup

Prom season is now over up here in Connecticut, my last client was one of my favorite girl’s Jennifer. It was kind of a sad moment because this is the last year that I’ll get to do her makeup.Jennifer always let me do whatever look I want when it comes to her makeup. I wanted this look to be glam with a pop of color on the lips.Plus, I wanted to keep this makeup look glam yet on a budget. On her lashes I selected Sephora Collection lashes in Hipster. Everything I selected was either long wearing and waterproof products so Jennifer would not have to worry about her makeup coming off. I wanted her to have fun and look good while doing so.
