Whip Salon Launch Party Was A Glamxurious Evening

I was so excited about today, being completely booked with makeup applications at Whip Salon and having my friend Annya (makeup artist) with me was everything. Can you believe she cut all her beautiful curls?

My first client of the day was Mrs Rosanne, luv her! She came by on Friday to see me to talk about the makeup look she wanted for today. She gave me permission to give her a strong eye with lashes. My kind of lady…here are all of the Jane Iredale products I used on her. The lashes that I selected was from Red Cherry. I like the Cherry brand a lot, their natural lash band is on point. If you put them on correctly you can not see the lash band, doesn’t matter how close someone get to you.


I definitely have to give a shout out to Lancome for providing me with skincare products to use on my clients at Whip salon.


Katie was my third client this morning. She’s a high school student at Ridgefield High, today is there Homecoming so I had a few girls booked with me and I luv it! I like mixing it up because I get to do a variety of makeup looks.

It was pretty cool doing makeup on Andrea being that she’s one of the designers of the salon. Andrea was getting makeup for our launch party tonight along with her business partner Rebecca.

I wanted to give Rebecca a sultry eye with Red Cherry lashes and a sheer lip color. I contoured her just a little not to much. I think she look amazing with this type of look.

Sunday At Work Turned Out To Be A Great Hair Day

This morning before we started our day at the salon I asked Aimee if I could freshen up her makeup because I liked where she was going with it. I wanted to give Aimee a glow using the Jane Iredale Moonglow bronzer as a highlighter and contour her with the SO Bronze 3 bronzing powder. For the those dark eyes I used the Color Eye shadow Triple in Silver Lining. Aimee luv a dark liner so I traced her eyes with the mineral eyeliner pencil in Basic Black. Aimee is a fan of Kat Von D & Too Faced mascara so I knew which mascara to use on her. Jane redale Longest Lash mascara in Black Ice is very similar to Too Faced, Better Than Sex, like, it’s a tie. On her lips I finished her pout with a Lip Pencil called Berry and Lip Fixation, a lip stain called Fetish.

 

I didn’t see when Lisa entered the salon but when Liz her hair stylist brought her over to me I tell you what, I got #WHIPLASH. I was having a girl crush moment with this beautiful hair. Pics do not do any justices to what Liz did with this woman hair. It look like a blowout that belongs in Modern Salon, American Salon or Behind The Chair magazines. Lisa was a great client very appreciative of what we did for her at Whip Salon. When Lisa found out that I did makeup on Jennifer Aniston she was thrilled because Jennifer is a friend in her head like so many of us. Maybe that’s why I fell in luv with her hair because it was something I’ve seen on Jennifer.

Ended my evening by having a nice birthday dinner with the sexy Lizzie at one of my favorite restaurant in Danbury , Brio Tuscan Grille.
