"The Travelers"



I had the pleasure of doing Makeup and Hair for a photo shoot "The Travelers" with wonderful photographers Joey and Jessica ( www.joeyjessica.com ), three great models and a very large and fantastic crew.
I received some of the images today and want to share them with you!
This was a long 12 hour day... but didnt feel like it at all because we had such a great time and kept so busy all day!  We got a lot accomplished!  Both print and film was shot! It was a great day!  :)

Makeup Brands and Products I love!


Makeup brands and products I love and use regularly!

Every day I get asked my models, actors, musicians and friends what makeup brands and products I especially like.  I’m going to list some of my favorites I carry in my pro makeup kit and use all the time on the jobs I do!  These are all brands and products I've used a lot, they have been heavily tested and approved by me personally.  I do have some new brands and products I've used that I'm  loving but haven't used long enough to include them in this blog for my professional recommendation... I'll update those in a future blog :)
Test them out, experiment and enjoy!  Ask questions if you need to!

(These mascara’s work better and last longer than any expensive brand I’ve used! And cheap so you can replace very often ensuring freshness)

Eye Brows:

~Any of the eye shadow brands I listed for soft natural brows without harsh lines

~MAC self propelling no sharpening pen (great blendablity)

~Smashbox Brow Tech

 I’m sure I’m leaving out some brands and products … as I remember them I will update J I’ll also come back to make a list of hair styling products and tools that are my favorites, skin prep products that are favorites, Airbrush favorites and Special Effects makeup favorites J   I'll also come back to write about my favorite makeup kits (wheeled and over the shoulder) and set bags I use to store and lug around everything to jobs with me.
