PARIS Fashion Week Recap

I love runway makeup! so creative/artistic.

Louis Vuitton- They did  a lot of shading with a bronzer, the highlight is over exaggerated and there is no color on the eye lid. 

Miu Miu- Pale skin, lower winged lashes, white liner on the water line, pale lips. 

Kris Van Assche- Focused shadow on the inner corner of eyes, contoured down the nose making it look more narrow and pale skin.

John Galliano- We see a little more color with this look, smokey eye where the pink is used as the color right below the brow blending done to the cheekbones.

Alexander McQueen - Pale skin with white highlights, love the hair almost what we did for Melody Ehsani's look book.

You Gotta love Keeping Up With The Kardashian, they are hilarious I can't wait for the new episodes set to air on November 8th, 2009. 

Anyway, my cousin loves, loves, loves kim, so for her birthday I took a pic of Mrs Kardashian and made her up! Below are the pics for the tutorial. 

STEP 1

apply rubenesque paint pot from MAC over your lid. 

STEP: 2

Take naked pigment from MAC and with a flat brush apply it all over your eyelid. 

STEP: 3

Take smut eye shadow from MAC and with a 224 brush(MAC) start at the corner of your eye and blend towards the center of your crease.

STEP: 4

To soften your eye shadow take a natural brown, Im using brown script from MAC and apply to your crease on top of the smut eye shadow.

STEP:5

Take black track and an angle brush from MAC and apply it over your top eye lid.

STEP: 6

-apply graph black eyeliner to your water line. 

-take a pencil brush , a couple swipes into smut eye shadow and follow you lower eye lid, to get the smokey look.

STEP: 7

finish it off by applying mascara or eye lashes.

Pasadena Beauty School Forum

Over the past weekend (Sun 9/20-Mon 9/21), I helped Salon Sessions be a part of the Pasadena Beauty School Forum at the Pasadena Convention Center. It was a smaller hair/makeup show, with plenty of educational classes, booths, and stage work. Mostly targeted for beauty school students. 

I remember when I was still in school, I would loooove to go to hair shows and check out other 'cool' stylists, the way they did their hair and makeup, shop for random things, take any class I can and watch stage shows. It is just a very overwhelming experience especially for a beauty school newbie. It was something a lot of students look forward to, a feeling of almost being in the real world and gave you an eye opener of other fields you can be a part of in the beauty industry. i.e. stage work, education, sales consultant, product specialist...

Salon Sessions had a booth with Croc Irons and blowdryer. Which is amazing! Heats up to 400+, has a wet to dry iron and a 1" thin iron to get closer to roots. Our salon also had an educational class hosted by Neeko and some of my peers did a little stage work.

Say hello to Laura Dimes

Soooo we finally did it... For a while I have been experimenting with one of my ever evolving- chameleon like client. Mostly with color, and subtly on the cut. Only because she has always had long hair, and for most girls it is a major attachment. And a trim means pretty much "can you just air trim it?" She has mentioned before just to cut it all off but I was super hesitant, I do not want to be the blame that occurs after someone decides to spontaneously go short. It is an emotional rollercoaster. 

So the reason why I decided to cut it all off? Well it has been a little over a year since she has mentioned several times to cut it off, so that tells me she has been "emotionally ready" and has probably been imagining herself with short cuts for a while. And also, it was for her 23rd bday!

I personally think it totally suits her.. a great way to start all over..and can help define your personal identity

Powerful group of girls!

Megan Fox and Plastic Surgery?

HAS MEGAN HAD PLASTIC SURGERY???

Its no doubt that Megan Fox is one of the most gorgeous females on earth, everything about her is just striking! everyone talks about how she has gotten plastic surgery but I don't think she has, I think she just has a great makeup artist who can bring out certain features, look at her photo below and the shading on the sides of her nose, and shading below her cheek bones to make them stand out, that definitely changes the look of her nose which causes everyone to think she has had surgery. You can do wonders with contouring. Check out my video on it here.

YSL END OF YEAR EVENT 2009 FOR HOLDAY

"The Yves Saint Laurent END-OF-YEAR 2009 make-up collection celebrates passionate colors to dazzle the year’s most festive evenings.

This led to the creation of the Aurore Boréale crystal with its unique multi-colored reflections.

For its 2009 Christmas Look, Christian Dior Parfums has collaborated for the very first time with the Swarovski House to create an exceptional Star Product using the legendary Aurore Boréale crystal : “Cristal Boréal”. The oval pendant, inspired by the shape of the neo-Louis XVI chairs that Christian Dior loved, is adorned with 52 Swarovski crystals of which 4 are Aurore Boréale.
