Yaby Cosmetics

Well, I'm back from the Makeup Show in Chicago. What an amazing event! I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Liz, creator of Yaby Cosmetics. Makeup products designed by a makeup artist for makeup artists. Designed for film and photography, the highly pigmented Yaby cosmetics are made for easy travel and perfect for on location.  

As a solution for make artists in all sectors of the industry, Yaby carries palettes that provide convenience and are highly customizable. Each palette features a built in stainless steel mixing palette, magnetic base, shock absorbing foam inserts with easy to clean surface, as well as the highly in demand freestyle palette. 

With a wide range of colors, Yaby eliminates the need for numerous, bulky packaging. It's the perfect way for an artist to condense his/her makeup kit.  

The eye shadow palette holds 40 highly pigmented shadows that can be applied sheer yet allow for buildable coverage. You can purchase pre-selected palettes, or pick and choose the colors you want. The magnetic base makes for quick and easy color changes.  

The freestyle palette is perfect for those working on multi-day projects with the same clients. Select their personalized colors and place blush, powder, shadows, lip color, concealers, etc. in the custom freestyle palette. Stick on a label with the client's name and viola! You have your client's products ready for each day of the shoot. No need to try to remember what colors where used or trying to stuff it all in a Ziploc bag.  

I personally adore the powder foundations, but am slowly falling in love with the liquid ones. Two drops, and you've got enough for a full face. Amazing stuff!  

Check out Yaby at IMATS in L.A. June 25th and 26th!!

The highs and lows of a wedding budget

The "dirty" word: If you have ever planned a wedding or have been around someone planning a wedding, there is one single word that makes even the most level-headed bride cringe. Budget. There, I said it. Cut and dry. Now that it's out in the open, let's discuss exactly why that word brings out the inner bridezilla. To start off with, ask any number of brides what their budget is, and I guarantee you will get just as many answers. Budgets can range from under $2,000 on up and past $200,000. It doesn't mean that any amount is better than another. Every wedding has a budget because every couple draws the dollar line somewhere. A budget just defines what you have to spend. Period. Nothing more, nothing less. A bigger budget doesn't make any one bride better than another, nor any wedding less important. So in short, every bride is a budget bride no matter the dollar amount. When you think of it that way, it can wrangle in the green-eyed...

Planning a Destination Wedding

Destination weddings have become increasingly more common. With a touch of added romance, zesty adventure and of course the sultry GETAWAY, a destination wedding can be just that little special touch you're looking for. Planning and organizing a wedding in another city, state or country can be overwhelming and downright nerve-wracking. Trusting wedding professionals is scary enough, but depending on those not within reach can be quite intimidating.  As quoted from theKnot.com in their Destination Wedding Basics: Top 13 Destination Wedding Tips, the Knot highly suggests  to "Bring pros you trust from home to handle critical aspects such as the wedding photography, hair and makeup, and design (lighting, flowers)." There are so many things that can go wrong; no-show vendors, inferior skills, misunderstandings due to a language barrier, makeup artists not familiar with your skin type, strange and unregulated cosmetic products, and of course, fear of the unknown...

Do I need a trial makeup consultation for my wedding?

This question comes up quite often so I decided to give you my thoughts. Do I need a trial makeup consultation for my wedding? In one simple word, no . I realize there are some makeup artists out there who will not, for whatever reason, provide wedding day makeup for a bride without first having a consultation. I am not one of those artists. Perhaps it stems from working in the film and print industry (outside of bridal) where I have learned to hone my skills and listen to what the client wants. Whether it's a model, photographer or producer requesting a specific look, I am confident in my ability to provide exactly what they envision for their project. My clients are pleased and everyone walks away satisfied with the results. My years of experience working as a makeup artist in Florida has given me a long history of wedding day makeup for destination brides. Very few of these brides are able to make all but the most required trips to plan their wedding day. Trying to schedule in ...
