Love at first application... Kat Von D foundation ❤❤

It was love at first application!!! ❤❤ Even though I'm a makeup artist I struggle just like a lot of women trying to find that perfect match. Color,texture and finish play a big role in my final decision. It is a full coverage foundation so you only need 2 small pea size amounts for your entire face! If you have dry skin this may not be the right foundation due to the matte finish. You can try mixing it with a tinted moisturizer or just use it on your problem areas. I haven't tried her concealer but if its anything like the foundation, it will definitely be a future purchase! I purchased color #62, it's a bit dark but i mixed it with a lighter concealer and i do plan on getting some sun so its perfect!

#PHUCKYO BLACK EYELINER, TRY A POP OF COLOR!

Since the days of Cleopatra women have always had a very close relationship with their black eyeliner pencils. I'm not saying to get rid of it, but lets try to put it down for a brief second! Take a look at these pictures below and see what a  pop of color underneath your eyes does! Its pretty amazing!

This makeup look is very simple. Take a nude color all over your lid, black eyeliner on top and take a lilac shadow and smudged underneath your lash line.

 

 

Blue Eye Liner helps the white of your eyes look brighter and makes blue eyes stand out even more. We were always told never to match your eyeliner to the color of your eyes but PHUCK the rules! lol Makeup is suppose to be fun! Its okay to step out of the box and try something new every now and then!

 

 

 

A touch of a teal was used in the above picture. As you can see the eye makeup is kept very clean and adding a little touch of color changes the look completely! A great makeup look if your going out to happy hour with the girls right after work. Its an effortless but appreciated look that always makes a statement!

I always suggest that you use a water-proof eyeliner if your going to attempt to duplicate this look. WHY? Because it smears easier than eyeliner you use on you lid, and some of us also have a bad habit of wiping underneath our eyes.  Urban Decay has the best water-proof eyeliners.

Motives For LA LA @ Angela Meadows Salon

If you haven't heard of Angela Meadows you must be living under a rock! She is a celebrity hair stylist that has worked w/ La La, Serena & Venus Williams, Kelly Rowland and Trina just to name a few. This past Saturday she had a soft Grand Opening of her salon on the heart of South Beach and I was the featured artist doing makeup on the models and introducing MOTIVES for LA LA  to her salon alongside Diego Cash (La La's brother). Models were not only rocking MOTIVES for LA LA but also swim wear and jewelry by InstantKarmabyKL ! I had the pleasure to meet Jamaal Buster, eye lash guru to the stars, who was introducing his new eyelash line! It was a evening of glamour, fashion and beauty!

You can still be cute on a budget! There is no excuse!!

I have used this foundation for about 2 weeks now and i truly love it! It is super light weight and gives pretty good coverage considering that its a foam. I pump a little bit in my hand and just spread it all over my face like lotion and I just finish it off with a little mineral powder and I'm done!

This mascara is one of the blackest mascaras Ive tried in a very long time. FIERCE!!! It gives great volume to lashes w/out leaving them hard and brittle!

This is another fav. mascara of mine. This gives your lashes an incredible length but not too much with the volume. So i always go back and forth between this one and the one and the CARBON BLACK, just depends on my mood. LADIES please don't forget to curl your lashes!!! That's like peanut butter w/ out the jelly, hamburger w/out the fries, bagel w/out the cream cheese! A LASH CURLER is super important! PLEASE don't forget this step BEFORE  applying mascara! 

I love using this eye lash curler from Laura Mercier. I prefer this one because its plastic. The metal ones kind of scare me. I always feel like my lashes are going to come off.
