Experiencing Coco Mitchell....

What an amazing experience...okay, walking into the Night Hotel on 45Th street I see the legendary Coco Mitchell. Former Supermodel, well still a supermodel in my mind, Coco rocks it out on a shoot for new magazine (can't say yet). For makeup I went straight to glamour of course!! It was amazing I had no limits ,and boy did I go all the way. For deeper toned women you have to bring out the features by highlighting and contouring. I used cream base foundations and light on the powder for a natural skin finish. For hair, I added a hair piece for length and volume, and created soft curls for romance. I loved working with Coco, inspiring, elegant, stunning and sexy!!!!! Need I say more....

Makeup for Darius Wobil Fashion show

So I was the Key Makeup artist for this show. The designer was inspired by the 1980's, but with a modern twist.

EYES: For the eyes I really wanted them to pop! On the lid I used Copper pigment for M.A.C. I needed the crease to appear deeper than usual so I used Sophia eyeshadow from Nars Cosmetics, smoked out the lower rim with Blacktrack gel liner and set it with Carbon eyeshadow from M.A.C. Finish the eyes off with Dior Blackout Mascara (my favorite) to give volume and depth, and length.

CHEEKS: I wanted cheeks lifted and popped all at the same time, I know a bit much but so was the 1980's. I used Cargo bronzer to contour the cheekbones, with a bit of blush popped on the apple of the cheeks (Sweet as Cocoa, M.A.C).

LIPS; I needed the lips to be a deep red, in the wine family. So I used a cream base in a pod by Makeup Forever in red, I then lined the lips with a plum liner by Milani and topped the lips off with lip gloss, in the purple family.

This project was fun to do and the girls looked amazing!!

The Wise and Beautiful Shona!!

I did a before and after of Shona because, she's simply beautiful both ways. Only 17 and so wise, she's not like most models. I love her look and I enjoyed working with her. I was so inspired to take some pictures on my own:) pretty good huh?....

"Toned Skies"

Opened my eyes as my alarm went off...

dazed, but very aware of my mission...

Walked through the apartment, feeling a sense of serenity,

not really sure why.

Turn the shower handle to the right, and allowed the steam to fill the bathroom,

as I looked in the mirror, my reflection started to become vague and so did my thoughts.

Pulled back the shower curtain, now water cascading on my face, my body, water cascading.

Towel dried off, then put on the clothes that made the mood of the moment feel confirmed.

Keys, don't forget my keys, my mind telling me don't forget.....

I see myself moving, grabbing my bottle of water, putting on my bag, I see myself,

but outside of me.

I go with the feeling, I nourish it.

It makes my body feel as if I am in a drunken state, but still able to not fall off the cloud.

Exit the building, My eyes instantly rolled toward the sky like they always do...

I squint, thinking "the sky has tones of gray, but the sun still shines".

How can that be, how could the two exist at the same time? Should I expect rain?,

Or should I continue on my journey with my sunglasses...

Step, Step, Step, I feel myself walking but I only see the sky.

How beautiful.

A myriad of different tones of gray clouds, highlighted by the one sun.

How beautiful.

The contrast, the difference, the two things that shouldn't be in one sky...

I wish I could have been up there, sitting up close, and watching God's work happen

To actually be in a place where no one, questions the different.

When I looked up, I could not deny the difference, and I couldn't deny the beauty of it all...

My eyes only saw Toned Skies........
