Friday makeup

Ask me for details if needed :-) have a great weekend!

DIY blonde

Hey everyone! I dyed my own hair blonde, and I was so happy with the results. I love my hairstylist, but as a mom, you don't always have the time to get your 4 inches of roots touched up :-)

This product is from the féria line from L'oréal, and it's nice because it can bump you up to 7 levels lighter. This particular one is nice because you can control how light you go and where you want it to go. I purchased the hair color for about $4 at Ulta (normally $10, still so affordable), and was over the moon how pretty it turned out. Another great bonus about this product, was that I have sensitive skin, and this dye did not irritate me at all. The "Féria" line also makes beautiful dyes for darker hair as well, I've tried them all and they have not compromised my hair.  Make sure if you do try the platinum series, that you use a blue or purple shampoo while it's processing (it works like a toner). 

Gorgeous Jessica!

For my client Jessica, I wanted to do something a little extra special because she is a natural beauty. She works extremely hard and has just become a registered nurse. So excited for her and all her endeavors! For this look, she wanted a subtle smokey eye that would last her through the day.
The look:
Start with smokey eyes: Mary kay eye shadows : spun silk, crystalline, copper, truffle and precious pink.
Other shadow colors used: L'Oreal emerald infallible eyeshadow and Lise Watier Havanna bronzer for the crease.

I prepped the eyelids prior to this with Mary Kay's eye primer and Makeup forever HD foundation to maintain a water based lid, making it Much easier to blend my mineral based eyeshadows well and even.
Eye liner cateye look: nyx liner (smudge proof!)
Purple 24/7 urban decay liner in the inner lower lid
Skin: prepped with Dermalogica moisturizer (as per request of the client, it's what she used that morning)
Mary kay foundation primer

Used MK concealer in beige 1 and yellow. Blended it in and applied Ben nye banana powder visage under her eyes to set the concealer and highlight

Base: dinair air brush golden beige mixed with their bronzer (she wanted a more sun kissed look b/c she wore white), the peach dinair blush and the Lise Watier Havanna bronzer to contour

Set the skin: Clinique translucent powder using a puff
Used MK dark cherry blush to add to her glow

Lips: MK neutral liner with pink n' plaid by MAC and just a you h of nymphette gloss by Mac

Brows: Anastasia brow wiz combo with makeup forever "aqua brow"

Such an awesome gal! So blessed to work on such a gorgeous face


Eye lashes: duo glue with Katy perry eyelure lashes "oh honey"
