makeup quickie: half baked chocolate

halfbakedchoc

I love the Urban Decay Naked Palette. Really, who could hate it? It’s such a staple in any makeup wearer and lovers kit and I wanted to play up the tones in some blue contact lenses I bought with a warm, neutral look. Here’s what I ended up with…

FACE

Marcelle BB Cream in Light to Medium

beautyADDICTS Double Deception Concealer in 02

Smashbox Warm Apricot blush

Smashbox Lens Soft Lights

EYES

Urban Decay eyeshadow in Half Baked (lid)

Urban Decay eyeshadow in Darkhorse (crease/lower lashline)

Tigi eyeshadow in Chocolate (outer corner to darken)

Urban Decay eyeshadow in Virgin (tear duct)

Maybelline Volum’Express The Colossal Mascara in Glam Black

Smashbox Brow Tech To Go in Brunette

LIPS

MAC Dazzleglass in Girl’s Delight

By the way, what do you think of the contacts? Yay or nay?

prom makeup: miley cyrus inspired look

Before & After

Meet Taylor. She’s an soon-to-be high school graduate and one of my long-time clients, so I was thrilled she asked me to be her makeup artist when prom time came around. Taylor came to me with the desire of a Miley Cyrus inspired makeup look, which with her stunning features and unbelievable skin was an effortless task. Her ecstatic reaction to the final look really made my day. It was so much fun to do this look for her.
