Who Rocked It? Allison Williams vs Idina Menzel

las-1703-who-rocked-it

When you been in the beauty industry as long as I have, being asked for a beauty quote by any magazine is a major deal. I was so honored that I was asked about this topic, GREEN EYESHADOW. I’m such a fan of this shade for the eyes so this was an easy one to speak on. I talked about the makeup look that both actress was wearing, it’s Allison Williams vs Idina Menzel. I selected Allison Williams makeup look because it was such a great look for her. The colors were all complimentary for her complexion. Do you agree?

Guess what, I’m being interviewed today to give another beauty quote to Life & Style…GOD IS GOOD!

This Is What I Have In My Hair & Makeup Kit

Since I’m forced to stay home during Winter Storm Chris I decided to do a few things. One being pampering my skin while working on my hair & makeup kit for tomorrow video shoot with Nestle. And the other is my upcoming assignment this month for the NBA All Star Weekend.

Have you ever gotten overwhelmed with trying to do any type of cleaning & organizing? I think I’m there now, lol. So, I’ll just stay focus on tomorrow assignment first then Saturday I can focus on packing for my trip in New Orleans. It’s a total of 8 hair & makeup people so I just want to make sure I have everything my team will need.

I do want to thank Danielle at Alison Brod Marketing + Communications for sending over goodies to help me with makeup. Here is a quick video to show what they sent me.

This is what I’m bringing with me on tomorrow in another quick little video below.

A Snow Day Is Perfect For Pampering Your Skin

connecticut-makeup-artist-brandy-gomez-duplessis-in-drybar-rollersIt’s officially a snow day in Connecticut.  So ladies it’s a perfect day to pamper your skin ( and have a glass of wine) to a luxurious afternoon of indulgence instead of the quick scrub and rinse we usually do in the morning before work.

I’m giving myself a spa experience today by immersing my skin into a bevy of different skin nurturing items. It doesn’t matter if it’s from a drugstore, beauty store, or your dermatologist, I always tell my clients to love your skin by caring for it. Find the right skincare products based on your skin type from cleansers, eye creams, moisturizers, eye & face masks, and a good lip treatment to create your long lasting flawless finish.

Here is my secrets for looking this good….wait did you really think I woke up like this? See all of the products here.

Do You Like This Athletic Glam Makeup Look

 

Whenever my makeup muse Lena from Ridgefield, CT come to see me just know the makeup will be STUNNING! Any makeup look that I give her is going to be flawless. My girl was not having a good day so what do a girl do, come get her makeup done. So, I’m calling this makeup look ATHLETIC GLAM. We make for a great team I luv working with Lena because she allows me to be a makeup artist creating different looks for her even if it’s out of her comfort zone. I have been Lena’s makeup artist for a few years now. We hit it off the first time she hired me to do her makeup.

I always get asked if I really use Jane Iredale mineral makeup. Yes, everything on Lena is from Jane Iredale. It’s not about the makeup it’s about the artists, the brushes, the skincare when trying to get a beautiful look. Come see me and I’ll show you how to achieve a ATHLETIC GLAM makeup look, unless you rather I just do it for you. Well, what are you waiting for. Book me by emailing me at; brandy@bgdmakeupartistry.com I offer concierge makeup services not just in Ridgefield but all of Fairfield County and New York.

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?

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.
