Trying on a lil pop of color…BLUE

With one of the new Pantone Color Of The Year being Serenity, I thought I would try adding a pop of blue on my eyes using a blue eye liner. Serenity is more of a baby blue, I didn’t like the way it looked on my eye lid so I decided to try it on my lower eyes. Here are a four blue eye shadow/liner that I will be trying out.

Do You Have A Fancy Journal That You Enjoy Writing In

If you have been following me on social media then you know I am working on my books. I write every chance I get because I promised myself that I want to have the first book finished this year. The first book will be a fun self help book for girls/women, the second will be about my life as a makeup artist working with celebrities while living with lupus and the third is a beauty makeup book. You’ll always see me with a fancy journal on set, at the airport, in the park, or by the lake. So here are a few new journals that you’ll find me writing in this year. Do you have a favorite journal to write in?

Bridal Makeup:Something Blue Eye Shadow

Connecticut Bridal Makeup Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis
As a young girl, we grew up hearing “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue.” Well, that something blue will be the new trend in 2016 for brides. Bright, bold cobalt blue will be seen more at weddings in the flowers, bridesmaids’ dresses, the brides’ shoes and even bright bold eye shadows.

At a recent bridal photo shoot I decided to play with NARS Dual Intensity Eyeshadow in Giove, a navy blue eye shadow that can be used on the lid for a smokey eye. Remember when wearing a strong eye you should keep the lip color very light so I selected a nude YSL lipstick and a nude Dior lipgloss. Brides your something blue doesn’t have to be hidden anymore, it can now be worn down the aisle.

If I had to pick one beauty product to have in my makeup kit today for the Golden Globes Awards it would have to be L’OREAL Paris Infallible Pro Spray & Set Makeup Extender Setting Spray. After giving my client a glamxurious makeup look I would want her makeup to stay fresh for hours while on the red carpet and during the award show. The setting spray will keep the makeup from smudging and settling into fine lines. With all those paparazzi around who need that nightmare of bad makeup.

What’s your must have makeup item if you were attending the Golden Globes?
