Smashbox Reign Collection, Wedding Shoot

So here is the 2nd video from the wedding makeup series. As always, the makeup is not wedding specific – you can use these looks anytime you want to look fab!

This was part of a big fashion shoot, and the look was huge. The dress had a grecian feel to it, so that was the inspiration for the hair and makeup.

All products used were from the Smashbox Reign Collection, which I love love love!
I will also be posting a photo tutorial as soon as the pics are back.

There was a ton of info to try to get across in a very short time, so sit back, take a load off, and enjoy!

Hope you love it!

A Little Red Carpet Looove!

Julie Hewett Cosmetics sent me this to have a look at. I’d love to be able to say I did it, but this time I didn’t.

This picture was taken on the red carpet in Madrid at the premier of Rachel’s movie “Agora”
The look the artist used on Rachel Weisz is both completely gorgeous, and completely do-able. (I was going to link her IMDB page, but figured all that text was a bit boring, so we might as well enjoy more pictures of the lovely RW instead…)

She had on a sassy little red dress that night, which got me thinking about those Christmas parties where a red dress is super fun to wear. You can totally do this makeup yourself, and then go rock that mistletoe!

Check it out:

So here are the products that the artist used:

– Rachel’s Makeup Artist used Hue Color Rue Burgundy to achieve this easy-on-the-eyes smoky brown look. Use your fingertips to smudge all over your eyelid – wear alone or lightly layer an amethyst colored powder shadow on top.

– A special Make-up Artist trick – draw in between your upper lashes with Soot Eye Pencil to really smoke it out. This helps to avoid that pesky “white space” between your mascara and eyeliner. Build voluminous lashes by using several layers of Rose Scented Mascara – starting at the root of the lash and “wiggling” your way up to the tip.

– Apply a light layer of Lulu Bijou Lipstick onto your pout. Lulu gives that perfect punch of sheer cool red that isn’t too pink or too brown, and layered on top of Organic Camellia Ruby your smile is sure to dazzle everyone!

– Just a hint of a petal pink flush will complement this intense look – use Bud of Rose on just the apples of your cheeks, or if you like a dewier look, Jami Cheekie will give you a glowing pink flush.

Now there is also an online discount happening at Julie Hewett until October 31st.
Go to www.JulieHewett.net to do your shopping, and at the checkout enter the code Autumn15

Love that!!!

P.S I cut and pasted most of this – didn’t figure it out for you myself, but used their details instead!

Wedding Makeup Tutorial #1

So we decided to do a series of video and photo essays that guide a bride into how to approach her hair and makeup with regard to the style of dress she has chosen, and then have Kelly Cappelli direct her in how to move in her dress to get the best pictures.

All of the info in this series is fabulous for those of us not getting married too! Beautiful makeup, gorgeous hair ideas (afterall – the holiday season is almost here!) and cool ways to move when the cameras are around…..

This one features an eyeshadow palette called Soiree, and a beautiful lip called Bibo from the amazing Julie Hewett line www.JulieHewett.net

Hope you enjoy it!
