Top Three : MAC Blushes

Hey lovelies!
Here are my top 3 MAC powder blush picks!

(Clockwise L-R) Dollymix, Margin, Fleur Power

What MAC says:

Dollymix - Pure candy pink
Margin - Peach with golden shimmer
Fleur Power - Soft bright pinkish-coral

My Thoughts:

MAC blushes in general are great products. Color range,pigmentation and longevity wise,these babies are just amazing!

Dollymix is a bright hot pink with a slight shimmer (undetectable on skin!) which makes for a great flush on the cheeks when applied with a light hand. Margin is a shimmery "dirty" peach that can be incredibly flattering on a variety of skintones! Screams J.Lo! And then there's Fleur Power. It's a lovely coral-pink with a hint of shimmer, great for a bright pop of color on the cheeks.

And there you have it! I highly recommend these blushes. Love, love these!

Stay tuned for more of my "Top Threes" ;-)

Hostess with the Mostess

Last Friday, I did my former high school classmate Kj Castillo's make up. She hosted FEU-NRMF's Med Night for this year. Kj had nice skin so I only applied a light layer of liquid foundation to even out her skin tone. I did a smoky eye on her as per her request and I went ahead and enhanced her other features with a bit of contouring and highlighting, soft brows, a lovely pair of falsies,coral cheeks and a nice pink lip care of MAC's Pink Nouveau.

Congratulations on your first hosting gig!;-)

Stay lovely.

Maquillage Professionnel Days 9 & 10: Bridal

For Days 9 and 10,we learned about bridal makeup!

Day 9 was my personal favorite! As you may already know, I am such a big fan of the natural-beauty enhancing-glowing-from-within- super fresh look! I was feeling a bit down that day 'cause I wasn't able to bring in my own model plus I found out that I left my camera at home!

I had to "rent" an in-house model from the school so that also meant that I had to pay for her modeling services. But oh well, Tim Gunn taught me well... I had to MAKE IT WORK! I was lucky enough to have worked with Zubi, Maquillage Professionnel's official guinea pig! She works there as a full time model. All of our instructors do their demo work on her because she has the ideal face shape, bone structure, eye and lip shape... Basically she's the perfect canvas! So, lucky me! ;-)

Photos of her bridal look coming up!

My glowing "bride"

On our 10th day, we did an Arabian inspired bridal look. Something a lot more dramatic and intense, with the use of really vibrant colors. The eyes were the focal point of the whole look, heavily lined with black kohl pencil. I loved creating this look on my former football teammate, April. I think the makeup suited her facial features perfectly. Very sultry and very Kim K!
