It's Makeup Mondays!!!

2.08.2010 0
Greetings Beauties, I hope all is fine & FAB with everyone!

Today is "Makeup Mondays" #makeupmondays on Twitter.  Makeup Artists, Beauty Pros and those alike engage in "beauty talk" sharing tips, tricks and have Q&A.  

Here are my #makeupmondays tips & tricks for the week:

  • When applying mascara I take a disposable wand and bend it before applying a coat to top / bottom lashes.  Doing this allows me to have more control over the wand when applying to the lashes.
  • Mix foundation with your favorite moisturizer to create your own tinted moisturizer.  Tinted moisturizers provide a sheer to medium finish. 
  • Exfoliate your skin at least twice a week.  I was recently introduced to Origins Modern Friction. An exfoliant made with rice and white tea.  It's gentle on the skin unlike those harsh crystals in some other exfoliating products.
  • For unruly brows brush a clear brow gel, hair spray (w/ mascara wand) or clear mascara and tame those unruly hairs until you're able to get them professionally groomed.
  •  Try applying falsies (false lashes) with a lash  tool if you find yourself having unsteady hands making it difficult to apply lashes properly.  Sephora and Jamaal Buster's lash tools - $10.  Check them out.
  • Peach, berry, deep plum, wine and coral tones look FAB on brown skin.  Check out Bobbi Brown's new Cabana Corals collection.  I recently purchased the Golden Nector 39 Shimmer Lipgloss. (Thanks Zana!)

Hey Everyone, I wanted to share my very eventful weekend with you, that's ok right? Cool!

Back in October I was awarded a one year mentorship with Celebrity Makeup Artist Monifa Mortis. In case you missed the post you can read it here:


3 mos. later:


Queen Latifah and her mother are pictured above on the red carpet at the BET Honors which was taped in DC this past weekend. Don't they look FAB? I was blessed with the opportunity to do her mother's makeup for the occasion and let me tell you when I received word from my mentor that it was confirmed that I would be doing her makeup I was both nervous and stoked at the same time. It was very exciting and she's a very nice lady. I truly enjoyed the experience. I also met Queen Latifah and India Arie's mother while on location. I have to thank my mentor Monifa Mortis (she did Queen Latifah's makeup) for if it had not been for her I would not have had the opportunity. I also assisted Monifa the following morning at Bennett Career Institute for the Perfecting Portfolios class. I can't wait to see the pictures Donella, Charlene, Nora and Jenna!


I thank HIM for my blessings and I thank everyone who has supported me from the beginning and to ALL of my fellow MUA's and beauty industry pros this is a cut throat, competitive industry, let us stick together and work together. There's enough work out here for everyone. No one is trying to steal anyone's shine.
Spread the love and share the wealth of information. You'll be surprised of the many blessings and opportunities that will come your way. I'll see you at the TOP!



Peace, Love & Lipgloss,
Tia
