Purple Rain Tutorial

LOVE this picture and had such a fun time doing the look. Can't you just hear Prince in the background =)? Oh dear, am I old??? More requests that were sent in by you coming up!!!

Hot Pink Tutorial

So I KNOW this one isn't my best work as far as camera savyness. It is blurry but I can't help but LOVE that it actually shows the true COLOR!!!! SO, what I am thinking is I will practice a bunch, get better and I can still use the camera for close ups. Sorry about the blurry but hope you love the pinks, I do =).

Spring Has Sprung

There is something about Spring. The sun starts to peak out from behind cold dark clouds. The grass starts getting greener and life starts popping out just about everywhere. I love to find inspiration from nature and right now is the BEST time to find color. Look at flowers, butterflies, and sunsets. What inspires you color wise? Do a look and send in a picture of how you are welcoming in Spring!!! Melodi requested a springy look and I was inspired, this time, by the 2009 Dior Spring collection.

Starlet Series Hilary Duff

Megan wanted to see this look inspired by Hilary Duff and we decided...at midnight...to do it. Why not, right ; ). I love the smokey browns and the lashes. Megan was a good sport to let Kev take some pictures of her afterward. Quite the model, eh? =)

Love that the most perfect backdrop we have EvEr found turned out to be a SHOWER curtain. Isn't it gorgeous????

Starlet Series Kim Kardashian Take 2

Starlet Series Kim Kardashian Take 1

Here is Kim on the cover of a Vegas Mag looking GoRgEoUs!!!!! I have gotten TONS of requests for this diva so here you go!!! =) Although I was inspired by this photo I just used it as "inspiration" and threw in some typical Kim touches, i.e. dramatic smokey liner and glossy nude lips. There will be two more looks I will do of hers so stay tuned!!! Are you guys doing these look? Send 'em IN!!!!!! =)

Products Used:
MAC pencil in Fascinating (white) along top lashline
Kohl's Shadow "Ice"on inner 3/4 of lid (I add more of this in the video calling it "silver")
MAC shadow "Vanilla" on brow bone
MAC pigment in "Melon" just in the center of lid
Coastal Scents Matte 88 Pallette bottom row 2nd from left (I refer to this as the reddish brown color)
Kohl's shadow in "Candied Walnut" over that
THEN to darken that take the 88 Pallette last row 2nd from bottom (SuPeR dark brown) to intensify crease
I use my Wet n Wild black liner to do water line and set that with MAC "Cabon" shadow
To contour I use Wedge from MAC and have NO idea why I keep saying Era!!!!!
MAC blush in "Tippy"
Lash Blast for Mascara
MAC lip liner in "Ginger Root"
MAC lipstick in "Fabby"
MAC lipstick in "Myth" just in the center of the bottom lip
MAC gloss in Viva Glam 6 (Fergie limited edition)

Starlet Series...Penelope Cruz

I can't even tell you how much I aDoRe this look!!!!! The eyes were just stunning and I honestly couldn't stop sneaking glances in the mirror =). Weird, I know, but the eyes are so FIERCE and I did double lashes this time (a first for me). I think I could have done the crease a bit stronger but I am seeing this WAY after the fact. I would suggest deepening the crease with a dark brown, Handwritten by MAC would be great!!! I would love to see some pictures of you guys after you've given it a go!!!

Sham'Rockin Eyes

Here's something for you for good old St. Patty's Day. After I showed it to my friend she was convinced it had to be named your "Get Lucky Look", oh Hollie =). So wear this look on the 17th to avoid getting pinched.....or to GET pinched ; ).

Perfect False Lashes

I am in LOVE with false lashes!!! Here I demonstrate how to get those buggers to stay on without going all "wonky" on ya. I think watching a lot of tutorials has helped me learn how to perfect the art but PRACTICE is key!!!! Keep on practicing and it will be easier than putting on mascara...unless you have problems putting on mascara. If that's the case, think of something else that's easy for ya =).

Beauty On A Budget

Here's a request from Brittney regarding stretching your dollar for great looks.

Keep the requests coming. Coming up? A rockin false lash tutorial.

Smokey Grey & Black

Here is an ultra dramatic black and silver smokey eye. The color that is "in question" from the Kohl's pallette is on the bottom row, 5th from the left. Work it girls!!!!!!

Lady Hawk

So, I am loving this look. It's crazy and fun. If you watch TV's So You Think You Can Dance, this is inspired by a choreographer Sonja Teyeh. She is great and this is my take on her hair since I will not be shaving the sides anytime soon =). Let me know if you want a tutorial on it!

Holiday Greens

Merry Christmas!!! Here's a holiday look to rock at a Christmas party =). Have FuN!!!

Were It In Color...

This is going to be fun!!! I want to do some tutorials where I take a B&W photo and put my spin on what I think it would look like were it in color. I've mostly looked at well known people like Bridgette Bardot (above) so we kind of already know somewhat the feel of their personal look. It could be fun to do random photos too!!! Do you want to play too? You can participate by sending me a photo or choosing one yourself and sending me the B&W then one of you doing that look. Ready? Set? GO!!!

1920's Goth

Jennifer Lopez

I know we are supposed to be doing soft looks (and that the image above looks like I just ate a bug) but I saw this picture of Jennifer Lopez and LoVeD it!!!! Plus I got booked for a fashion show that day and wanted to look a little dramatic =). The show was AwEsOmE btw and you can see pictures on Facebook at my Doll By Jen page.

Mature Makeup!

Ladies, here it is. My video on mature makeup. Some tips and tricks to live by. This is a slightly dramatic look (and rather quickly done). Our next video will be a very light natural look.

Katy Perry #2

Lauren Conrad Tutorial

So glad that I was FiNaLlY able to get to this request. (Singing voice) I looooovvvveeee Lauren Conraaaaad!!!!!! I think she is so stinkin cute and very down to Earth. Her makeup is very simple but the liner can sometimes be tricky and just comes with practice. I'll do another one that isn't so typical of her that I've found. Meaning her makeup wasn't just natural with winged liner...cooomin up!
