Art of Imagination Fashion Show - May 2011

I was asked to be a make-up artist for the Art of Imagination Fashion Show on May 20, 2011.  I did two different looks; a soft romantic look and a dramatic peacock eyes. 

 Here is my finished model for the soft and romantic look.  She looks beautiful!!!

 Here is the fabulous model with the peacock eye look.  It looks amazing with her peacock dress.

I Found the Perfect Eyeliner

I found the PERFECT eyeliner.  It is made by Pixi and is called the Endless Silky Eye Pen.  It is sold at Target or you can get it online at http://www.pixibeauty.com/.  It comes in many colors and goes on your eyes so silky smooth.  You won't regret getting this.

Make-Up Tip: Your Eyes OR Your Lips - NOT BOTH

If you're going out & you want to look fabulous, just remember this simple tip: Either play up your eyes or your mouth, never both. If you accentuate both features, you risk looking dated, harsh & artificial.

If you choose to play up your eyes, you can be as dramatic as you want with eyeliner, shadow & mascara. But stick to gloss or a light lipstick shade for your lips. You want your eyes to 'pop.' But you don't want them competing with your lips.

If it's your lips you want to accentuate, paint on a strong shade & line just your upper lashes with a couple strokes of mascara to finish your eyes. If your eyelids have bluish lines, you can mask that with face powder or concealer, but stay away from colored shadows -- the lighter, the better.

Make-Up Tip for Small or Tired Looking Eyes

Make-Up Tip For the Day:  Do your eyes look small or tired?  Would you like your eyes to look bigger, brighter and more awake?  Beauty by M.E. is here to help!  What you need to do is take a nude colored waterproof liner and line the bottom lids at the waterline.  The way you do this is you GENTLY pull down on the under eye area with your finger.  Sweep the liner across the waterline from the outer corner towards the inner corner of the eye.  Your eyes will pop and look more beautiful than they already are.
