David and Goliath Photo Shoot

What an amazing day it was in the world of makeup for me! I woke up to an early call time for the David and Goliath tee's spring/summer photo shoot with Largo based photographer Dan Gaye (studio 75). It was really a fantastic fun shoot! The makeup was awesome. We did a few different looks. Smokey eyes. Bold lips. Funky jewelry. Big hair. I love when I get to have fun with makeup looks. :)

After the shoot I zipped over to Reunion Resort in Kissimmee, Florida for the Swarovski New Collection show. It was a great event, it is always awesome and educational spending time with other artists and being at industry functions. The makeup was very pretty, pastels, spring like.

The pictures below are snaps I took of the makeup I did at the David and Goliath shoot.

I love being a freelancer.

I truly enjoy being a freelance makeup artist. It is the best possible job for me. I never know what each week is going to bring and what project is around the corner.

Today I had a photo shoot with Tampa photographer Jessica Leigh (http://www.jlpflorida.com). Our shoot was for corporate head shots for working women in the Tampa area. I met four absolutely fabulous and inspiring women who own their own businesses. It is always exciting for me to meet other like minded women!

Tomorrow I am working with Brandon based photographer Neil Lee with Smooth Photography. He is one of my favorite local photographers to work with. We always have a blast and create some serious magic! We are doing editorial type images with three ladies.

Wednesday I am shooting with Dan Gaye at Studio 75 for client David and Goliath. Once I wrap there I get to zip on over to Orlando for a fashion show with Swarovski Crystal and BMG Model and Talent. It's going to be crazy hectic but so worth it!

Peace, Love and Beauty in 2011!

Shoots.

I did makeup for a couple shoots with Sarasota based photographer Alex Stafford this past week. We first shot marketing material and corporate head shots for Physicians Regional Health Care (located in Naples, Florida). I have done makeup for several shoots with them over the past year. The second shoot I did makeup with Alex was for marketing material for Iberia Bank promoting the opening of a new location.

2011 Editorial in Vogue Espana

The satiny eye makeup on model Hind Sahli in the January issue of Vogue Espana is beautifully understated and compliments her deepened lip impeccably. Kudos to makeup artist Christine Corbel on achieving this look!

Sultry Makeup

Modern sexy makeup is all about sultry eye makeup. It is sexy and attention grabbing. This makeup look is typically achieved with a bronze, grey or black combination of eye shadows however, any combination of dark and light shadows can be used. It is important to include a full set of false eyelashes with this look as it is really the icing on this cake. It is important to blend, blend, blend when working with this look as harsh lines can really destroy the illusion of a seamless sexy makeup. When playing up the eyes keep the rest of the makeup low key…nude toned lips, sun kissed and not over bronzed cheeks, shimmer to a minimum…these is a fine line here between sexy and trashy.

Classic Beauty.

A classic makeup is about beautiful not over the top makeup with a bold lip. Your skin should be matte and even, your eyes should be defined and lined, eyebrows manicured and the apple of your cheeks flushed a shade brighter than your natural blush. Red lips are the exclamation point of this look. A red lipstick should be thought of as the little black dress in your makeup wardrobe. Take the time to find your perfect “fit” for this look.

Wedding Hair and Makeup!!

Roy Naccour and his team of stylists at J. Joseph Salon in Land O' Lakes Florida are wedding hair style geniuses. Together we created three beautiful hair and makeup looks for our Daytime premiere! You can see them live and in action this Tuesday, January 11th starting at 10 am on Daytime.

We created a classic, a romantic and a modern sexy bridal look. I will post the do's for classic and modern sexy makeup looks soon! You can see my blog about romantic makeup just below this post. :)

Here is a snap from behind the scenes (NBC studio in downtown Tampa). I will upload the video once it airs this Tuesday.

Romantic Makeup Look

Romantic makeup is used to create the lit-from-within glow. It really is all about beautiful skin and illuminated blush (important to choose a hue that mimics your natural blush…pink works best for this look). Playing with different highlighters is always a key detail not to be overlooked (applied to brow bone, temples, cheek bones, bridge of the nose). Eyes and lips are both beautiful but not over done…they should compliment one another not fight for attention.

Keddos Shoes Shoot

My last shoot of 2010 was with a German shoe company called Keddos. They have not launched in the United States yet but plan to in 2013(ish). We had a great two day shoot with the always fantastic photographer Dan Gaye from Studio 75 (www.studio75.com). The first day we shot in downtown Tampa at Curtis Hickson Park we wrapped the shoot the following day at the Tradewinds Resort in St. Pete Beach.

I did a light dusting of powder for the younger kids makeup. For the young adults I did a natural makeup look. For their Betsy line of shoes I did a sexier makeup look with a heavier eye, bold lashes and a light glossy lip. Here are a few images from the shoot.
