Created Effortless Makeup During Market Week For Donna Karan International

During Donna Karan International Market Week I created a different makeup look each day. It's always easy to execute the looks that I have in my creative head when working with gorgeous canvas. 

Today's look was inspired by my love for exotic locations like Capri. An island in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the Sorrentine Peninsula, on the south side of the Gulf of Naples in the Campania region of Italy. 

I love to see beautiful women made up but effortless makeup is best. So I selected products from L'OREAL Paris, Stila Cosmetics, and Nicka K New York. This is my twist on a modern day Capri Girl visting New York, wear Donna Karan, rocking Paul Andrew sexy shoes.

My makeup palette for today's look. I wanted rich warm brown  and coral colors so I selected makeup items from L'OREAL Paris, Stila cosmetics and Nicka K New York to create the makeup looks for Donna Karan Market Week.

Mother's Day Is Everyday For Me

All mothers say they have the best kids, but I really do. Yesterday evening I had a horrible day with my iphone going into recovery mode and I thought I lost everything from contacts, calendar, 4200 pics and videos. I was up all evening until 6am to get everything back. I now have everything synced and backed up on iCLOUD. 

I'm just getting home from an early morning assignment in my kids went out in the yard to cut a few plants to place around the house for me. The kids usually tease me calling me Lisa Vanderpump because I'm always walking around making this beautiful arrangements for the house. That's one of the things I love about my home is that I have a yard filled with amazing plants/ flowers. It makes me happy on my off days to pick a few to bring in the house. So my babies did just that, how thoughtful of them. I think I may have future florists in the house. Here is one of the arrangements they did for the kitchen...CUTE :)))

Inside The Life Of A Makeup Artist On Makeup Monday

A great way to kick off Makeup Monday is having Connecticut (Danbury, Bethel, Brookfield, Ridgefield, New Milford, Newtown, and Redding) newspaper The News Time come over to my home to interview me about, what else...makeup makeup makeup! I had a fun time with Sybil chatting it up about summer makeup, everyday makeup, and makeup for mature woman. Sybil wanted to catch me in my daily routine of doing my hair and makeup in my room. Can't wait to see what pictures Cheryl the photographer end up using for the article.

Anita Hill Movie Premiere In New York

Just received an email from Director Freida Mock about the upcoming NY Human Rights Watch Festival Premiere, Opening Night on June 14th. 

I worked with Anita Hill earlier this year at Sundance Film Festival doing both her hair & makeup inside the EW Lounge & L'OREAL Paris suite. Each day  I was able to create a different makeup look for her using all L'OREAL Paris makeup & hair products. 

Look forward to seeing both Freida & Anita again!

Project Runway: Backstage Getting Models Glamxurious With L'OREAL Paris

Just getting back from working at Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. So on this season of Project Runway 11, I was only able to work on the finale during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. As usual our call time was at 4am so I never sleep, I stay up after working because I’m commuting from Connecticut that I have to drive in. Before leaving I got the house ready for the big Nor'easter that we, the Tri-State were getting later this afternoon. So if I get stuck in the city the kids would have food & heat.

I was very excited about this seeing designer Sammy B because I got to work with her a year ago in Harlem for Harlem's Fashion Row photo shoot. Like many people who meet & work with her, I fell in luv with Sammy B. I was also excited about meeting two other designers, Stanley Hudson & Michelle Lesniak Franklin. I was praying that I get to do the makeup for their models. Stanley collection was very old era meet new era classy women. Stanley had these rings that had my names written all over them. Michelle clothing mesmerize me that I couldn't even do my work, I kept looking at the all her models that kept coming in. I was Christmas shopping in my head. I ended up with getting two of Patricia models in one of Stanley model.

Hanging Out With My Favorite French Girl...Garance Doré

I always enjoy going to @GaranceDoré home to do her makeup. She's elegant, funny, and luv to chat makeup. Upon my arrival she was doing her own nails. Once her nails dry she wanted to give me a proper greeting which means a hug and cheek to cheek bisou. I unpack all my L'OREAL Paris makeup goodies, and asked about what fab event she was getting herself into so I'll know how to prep her face. 

I decided to keep her makeup look clean & natural. Today it was all about showing her skin. I couldn't wait to use some of L'OREAL Paris new items on her like my favorite; Revitalift Miracle Blur and True Match Super-Blendable Crayon Concealer. Of course I reached for my oldies but goodies: HiP high intensity pigments Concentrated Shadow Duos in Shady, HiP high intensity pigments Bright Shadow Duos in Flare, and Glam bronze pressed bronzing powder. All done...magnifique!!!

Photo time...just finished doing Garance Dore makeup...effortless. One day I will beat that face, I just don't know when, lol.

Destination Wedding At The Ritz Carlton New Orleans

Everybody always forget the groom on the wedding day, put I  knew my groom would need a  little help, he is in New Orleans. If he partied like I think he did the night before then L'OREAL Paris Men Expert Eye Roller would be needed.

A Glam Day With The Ladies Of WNBA

It's always a fun time when I get to do hair & makeup with the ladies of WNBA & ESPN. What's special about working with the ladies is that don't do hair & makeup everyday. But when they do they enjoy it in they appreciate the makeup looks that I give them. What I uv is how flawless the ladies skin is, it's like a perfect canvas. 

WNBA Basketball Player Swin Cash can I say SUPERMODEL, she is gorgeous and she luv makeup so I had a great time painting her. ESPN Anchor Hannah Storm is another fun and glamxurious canvas that I could paint everyday. Not only is she pretty but she's a sweetheart. Very easy to talk to and very receptive about what makeup colors I selected for her. My favorite, WNBA President Laurel J Richie is striking with great skin that I never have to use a lot of makeup on her. I enjoy giving her what I call a signature look that I like to do on her. I always keep her hair in a classic style noting to fussy.

Because the ladies are busy and don't have the time to keep touching up I like using long wearing makeup items so they don't have to do many touch up's throughout the day.

WNBA is making some new changes within the brand and behind the scene I plan to take the ladies to  a new sophisticated makeup look.
