When I received a text last month from the fabulous Lifestyle Blogger Nash of FABULATINA about doing her makeup for her 40th Birthday Bash I was so elated. Whenever Nash call for makeup that means she’s doing something glamxurious.
I met Nash years back when she was with L’OREAL Paris and I was on the L’OREAL Paris Pro Makeup Team. I would do her makeup in her office before attending any big L’OREAL Paris event.
After leaving L’OREAL Paris and starting FABULATINA, Nash hired me for a fun photo shoot with Theodora & Callum. So, I guess your wondering what makeup did I use on a FABULOUS girl like Nashelly Messina? I made sure I had the best lashes & highlighter! See for yourself.
The favorite part of my job is making women happy and feeling good about themselves. Last weekend each girl booked me to give them a glamxurious makeup look for their special events. With each of the girls I gave them all a custom makeup look. Only a few beauty items I duplicated but overall I used different products. Being at Sephora I have so many goodies to choose from that it’s a makeup artist dream job. Here is a list of items that I used, I’m sure I’m forgetting a few things. Hope you see something that you can use for your next glam makeup look.
Yesterday at work the most fabulous packaged arrived to our Sephora store. Inside was a product box with a brand book from Estee Lauder. Estee Edit by Estee Lauder is a new makeup and skincare collection that will be launching in Sephora and on sephora.com March 15th. It is an 82 item collection of mostly makeup with a few skincare items. The hip packaging will be chrome with cobalt spray paint splatter on the outer packaging for this collection only as Estee Lauder is not veering away from it’s signature blue.

This is how things often go when you set out to buy makeup brushes: You arrive at a beauty store intending to purchase one or two brushes. You see that there are hundreds to choose from and say to yourself, “I must need them all!” You proceed to spend a lot of money. Months pass and you’ve yet to use ninety percent of what you bought. Burn. The truth is, unless you’re a professional makeup artist or studying to be one, you can get away owning far fewer brushes than you may think. With this in mind, we tapped Sephora Senior Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis to note the seven makeup brushes you need. She kindly shared her favorite brands, too. Whether you’re opting for a basic look or a glam one, these brushes should have you covered.

1.PREP-Massage an eye cream around orbital bone. Let absorb prior to applying color corrector.
