mascara-imagesEvery woman wants long, full, and luscious eye lashes. Every morning you can find us sitting at our vanities, in the bathroom mirrors, or even in our cars putting coats of mascara trying to get the perfect lashes. Mascara is one of those makeup items that women go through many of to find that right one to give them volume, length and curl they want. Here are 5 mascaras that I like to use when I want to give my clients flirty sexy lashes.

 

Fall Makeup Look For A College Girl

img_1272

What a treat for me, Lena stopped by to see me. She needed a new fall makeup look that she can wear while on campus. At Whip Salon, I offer a service call Whip Signature. It’s a natural makeup look for someone who doesn’t like to wear foundation but prefer BB Cream’s & Tinted Moisturizer. I decided to give Lena a makeup look that she can do while at school. I selected colors that would compliment her skin as well as colors that are in the fall season. I used all Jane Iredale Mineral makeup on her. What do you think about this look?

Fall Makeup Colors That Was Seen On The Runways At Fashion Week

whip-salon-makeup-creative-director-brandy-gomez-duplessis-at-new-york-fashion-weekBy now you’ve heard New York Fashion Week, Spring 2017 wrapped up last week. So many beautiful models and clothes graced the runways but I always look forward to the jaw-dropping hair and makeup. The outrageous the look the better because I get so inspired to try those gorgeous makeup looks on my clients. Some of the rich colors that I loved backstage this year were burnished bronze, copper, burgundy, and gold. These colors are perfect as we head into the Fall season. What I like about those colors is that they look really nice on all skin tones, complementing everyone’s hue.

One of the makeup looks that I did at New York Fashion Week I’m excited about bringing it back to my clients at Whip Salon. Being that I am the Makeup Creative Director, my job is to teach the team of makeup artists how to recreate the looks so that women can wear everyday.

To help you get started with the current makeup trends I selected eye shadows colors that will get you runway ready. Better you can just book an appointment with me and I can give you a customized Whip Fashion Week Makeup Look.

Pamper Your Lips With Fresh Sugar Cream Lip Treatment

Fresh Sugar Cream Lip Treatment is not just another lip gloss that will leave your lips popping. It’s a lip treatment that will leave your lips nourish and smooth while giving you 6hrs of moisture. Don’t expect a basic shine on your lips, Sugar Cream Lip Treatments will give you a tint of color with a touch of a soft iridescence glow.

fresh-sugar-cream-lip-treatment

The Sugar Cream Lip Treatment are creamy colors that is inspired by watercolor paint and the whipped texture is like a decadent dessert, creme fraiche. A texture that Fresh co-founder wanted with these Sugar Cream Lip Treatment.

The reason why your lips will be so soft is because of the ingredients. It has sugar, a natural humectant, antioxidant-rich vitamins E and C, and a blend of oil to give you smooth lips. Being housed in a metal paint tubes it makes it so easy to carry in your purse especially during the fall and winter time, when your lips will definitely need it.

Makeup Monday: Jane Iredale Snappy Brush Wand

My new makeup tool obsession is from Jane Iredale it’s such an innovative synthetic fiber makeup brush that any girl on the go would love. The Snappy Brush Wand  has three interchangeable magnetic brushes to use with eyes & lips. I luv that the brush can fit easily in your handbag and a tiny clutch. It’s so easy, just snap on the brush head you wish to use and switch as needed.

If your a makeup junkie you will be just as obsessed as I am when I first laid eyes on this fab makeup brush.

 

How To Get This Fun Bold Lip Color

This look was suppose to be about a Nightime Smokey Eye at Sephora Beauty Class but I wanted Jen to really push the look by giving her a fun lip color. I selected Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Plan 9, a opaque deep sea foam green lipstick. Because, it’s a opaque shade I selected Kat Von D Metal Crush Eye shadow in Iggy, a metallic mermaid green shade. I scraped a little of the shadow out on a cotton round in had Jen use her ring finger to dab the product on the middle part of the lip to get a high pigmented metallic lip. What a rebellious look…
