I love meeting new people!

This weekend I had to pleasure to meet an amazing artist named Mary Irwin, she's represented my Agency Gerard in Miami.

I will admit I was a little nervous in meeting her. It's a little tough being judged by others, but in a way I enjoy it. Thankfully she didn't rip my portfolio apart lol. She said I still have some work to do but that my skills were really good, which made me so happy!

This industry is full of very talented people and the more I get into it the more I realize how much I love it. It feels great to talk to someone who knows exactly what you're going through, which most times people don't get.

I also did the hair for a wedding on Sunday! The bride was absolutely beautiful! She was so sweet and at ease (very surprising) most of the time they're very stressed out. Her mom and bridesmaids were so amazing as well.

I love doing weddings especially when everyone is organized lol. It makes me think about my upcoming wedding which is getting very close!!

so enough about that
enjoy you're evening!

Makeovers!!

So a few weeks ago I had a contest on my Facebook fan page, and the winners were the cutest pair of twins ever! Personally I think they are gorgeous and didn't need a makeover, but it's always good to do something different. They each got a Free color service, hair cut, style, and makeup. They also won a free photo shoot, which we had to postpone because of the South Florida weather lol

 Before
 Lissette & Yvette

After

Lissette decided to go a little more blonde, and her daring sister Yvette wanted to go for that Rihanna red. It's so crazy how much a hair color can change everything about your look.

For their make up:

Face
Benefit Primer
Face Atelier #4
Tarte blush in Peaceful
Mac Soft and Gentle as a highlight
Hoola from benefit

Eyes
Urban decay Primer Potion
A mix of shadows from Inglot
Tarte Amazonian Mascara
Carbon from mac on the lash line

and for the lips Tarte Lip Surgence in Sweet

I can't wait for their photo shoot!

Thanks girlies!

Updated Website!

So I had not updated my website in a while. And as I was uploading new pictures I realized how much I have been working.

I love my job so much! The best part is always when the Client says OMG! :) It's such a good feeling to make someone feel that way.

Hair and makeup has always been a part of me. Since I can remember, I always had little lipsticks and eyeshadows. When I was older (around 12) my grandma would let me dye her hair, and that's when I fell in love. It came so naturally. I knew that this is what i would be doing for the rest of my life!

So always do you, forget about what everyone says. Satisfaction is within, and nobody but yourself will give you that!
