What's in my Makeup Kit??

Have you ever wondered what I pack into my Makeup Kit?  Many times when I'm on a job site, someone will glance over at my makeup kit in awe at the oodles of stuff I carry.  Yes, I tend to bring everything and believe me, if I could fit it, you'd find the kitchen sink in there as well.  I'm one of those "what if" kind of people.  I even carry an entire extra wardrobe in my car at all times...you just never know....
Here are a few selected items from my arsenal of beauty products (makeup kit)! 

My choice foundation is airbrush makeup but I still carry along a supply of some other foundations.  I adore Face Atelier Ultra Foundation.  It's a silicone base liquid makeup and is available in a wide array of colors but can be easily customized to a perfectly matching shade for any skin tone.


I adore Yaby Cosmetics Blush Palettes. Available in two sets of shades, Inner Glow (neutrals) and Blush Out Loud (brights). The palettes are the perfect size for my kit and a little goes a long way!


 My powder of choice is Invisible Difference Finishing Powder by Temptu. Virtually disappearing on the skin's surface, it creates a photo finish look by minimizing the pores without adding weight. Ideal for all skin types.

I prefer to use Make Up For Ever's Aqua Liners for both eyes and lips. They glide on smoothly and hold up under sweat, tears and water. MUFE has fantastic color choices.

I prefer a powder for filling in eyebrows. Anastasia Beverly Hills makes a smudge-proof eyebrow powder that is lightweight yet provides sheer to medium coverage. It's available in five two-tone shades for maximum blending. Used with an angled brush, one can achieve precise application.


Well, that's just a few of choice items from my makeup kit.  I'm always adding to it and looking for new and better products.  I'll be sure to post any new products that I think may be of interest to you.

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 ...
