Gold

BA-NA-NAS ! Yup PAYLESS Christian Siriano Shoes .. Super Jolly ! $59.00 Bucks too , its a steal ! He has other cute shoes & bags that are also in this line .. But these were the favs!

Its almost as good as when Vivienne Westwood teamed up with Nine West ..

Its a MUST !

Ok so here's whats killing me .. Fresh Face with Deep vintage reminiscent of the roaring 20's style lips ! UHHHH to Die for !
Fresh Face is as follows ~
Foundation= (liquid is best option for everyday )
Blush = Matte bronzer is a fave for all skin types
Brows = Plz fill em in ,Slightly is ok !
Lashes= Mascara is not only the best thing invented , its a Must for this look (blacker the better)
Eyeliner =optional , it shouldn't be something that takes center stage !
So have fun with this vintage Vamp styling !

This is a great set of brushes ! If you need a complete set with quality hair .. these are them
Sigma Cosmetics is a great up & coming line ! For $79.00 its a steal ! It comes with the essential 6 plus additional backup brushes !

Trying to conceal ..

Kat Von D 's Tattoo concealer is one of the best when it comes to covering up that tattoo you got on your 18th Bday, but now your 28 & getting married tattoo ! If anybody would know what it takes to color balance a tat it would be her ! Even though she makes her living off of those tattoos haha ! Kinda of funny that now she makes money on covering them up too .. Give it try !

Fresh Faced !

Some times the best products are already in your kitchen cabinet !

Exfoliating the skin is a great way to stay youthful & hydrated , especially in the late summer months.. Try this at home

Equal parts : Olive Oil , Honey & sugar (raw preferably) Sound yummy already ! ..Oil breaks down the natural oils that the skin build to fight off "free Radicals " in the enviroment , Sugar helps break through the layers of dead skin & honey seals in the moisture ! Try & let me know what you think !

Wanna make an impression

When Building a new Portfolio, you want to make a great impression. Not only with your skill but with your artistic imagination .. Play with back ground & textures !

A great idea is to vamp up different styles of lips. Glitter, candy or even play with shades of pigment .. this adds nice pop & flare to your up & coming portfolio!

I always like to look on Ebay (http://www.ebay.com/) for bulk rhinestones ..you wanna make sure you are using flat back stones with Duo adhesive or Spirit Gum (which can be found on http://www.cinemasecrets.com/ or your local Halloween store) ..Sometimes you don't even need adhesive if the lips are moist with color (but play it safe & use it ).. have fun & send me your pics so I can post !
