I struggle with pink. I theoretically embrace it because after all, it’s one of the primary make up colors and the favorite of many women. I should like pink, possibly even love it but even as a little girl, I refused pink clothing, pink toys, pink anything. However the above look with Raven might just… Read more »

THE PINK LIP… RAVEN LYN
I struggle with pink. I theoretically embrace it because after all, it’s one of the primary make up colors and the favorite of many women. I should like pink, possibly even love it but even as a little girl, I refused pink clothing, pink toys, pink anything. However the above look with Raven might just… Read more »
JENNY & ELLA, Look #2
While Jenny and Ella are both gorgeous with natural makeup (or no makeup for that matter!), I thought we would have some fun with one of my all time favorite red lipstick shades (Rouge Dior 999). To create Ella’s exaggerated bottom lash look, I used the under eye lash strips that I discovered on a recent beauty adventure… Read more »
JENNY & ELLA, Look #1
The first time I saw Jenny Brunt was on the cover of Allure with Kate Moss in the 90’s. Her signature shaggy pixie cut and striking blue eyes landed her two Allure covers as well as covers for Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Marie Clare and many more. She was also known for her beauty campaigns including L’oreal,… Read more »
SPRING’S SMOKEY EYE… ADRIANNE HO
It’s always a pleasure to have natural beauty Adrianne Ho, model and founder of Sweat The Style, in the studio! Inspired by Adrianne’s organic take on beauty, we did several looks that will be rolling out over the next month. To start, I created this sophisticated Spring alternative to the classic smokey eye. The burnished khaki cream… Read more »
NARS UNDERCOVER… Kate Harrison
NARS just released “Undercover”, their Summer 2016 Collection and per usual, there are a bunch of gorgeous shades. However, since it’s still technically spring, I decided to do a romantic look with a touch of 90’s grunge as a way to transition the seasons. These shimmering pink and bronzed rose shades add warmth to the complexion plus… Read more »
BUTTERFLY… Devan Nykole Mayfield
I have a thing for orange lipstick. It’s shockingly beautiful on a wide range of skintones and much easier to wear than people tend to think. From pale sherbet and neon tangerine to sophisticated sunset and intense flame, there is most likely a shade of orange that is flattering on you. The look above features… Read more »
THE ARCHITECTURAL EYE… DINARA CHETYROVA
In late March, acclaimed architect Zaha Hadid passed away. She was an incredibly accomplished, intelligent and creative person who thrilled millions of people with her highly expressive, neo-futuristic designs. The graceful twisting and sweeping fluid forms that so often marked her work inspired this simple swoosh of liner. Paired with strong brows, nude lips and… Read more »
MARC JACOBS BEAUTY x BEAUTY IS BORING, LOOK #3
To really get a sense for what this mascara can do, I decided to do a classic French look for the third look – a nude eye, groomed brows and a red lip. However, rather than the usual natural lash style that goes with this look, I applied two coats of the Velvet Noir to create… Read more »
MARC JACOBS BEAUTY x BEAUTY IS BORING, LOOK #2
For the second look in this series, I used the incredible Marc Marc’er Precision Pen in Cocoa to create a graphic version of a cat eye and paired it with brushed up brows, pink cheeks and matching pink lips. It’s a bit of a girly look so I added an additional coat of the Velvet… Read more »
