The Grammys

Oh what a night! 

Everyone is at their best or what they feel is their best.

Here are pictures of the most memorable ladies of the night!

  Amber Rose

I know that Priscilla Ono did her makeup and I'm a huge fan! She look fresh, like she was glowing!

 (I'm sure the pregnancy had something to do with it!)

JanelleMonae  

Her makeup is wonderful! did you know she's a cover girl?

Kat Von D

I felt her makeup could have been a little  more vavaboom, it was nice but it could have been more, she owns a beautiful makeup line!

Natasha Bettingfel

Looked stunning in this beautiful red dress. Her makeup was classic soft eyes and dark red lips

 Carly Rae Jepsen 

She looks stunning in lancome beautiful silver/bluish smokey eye and nude lips

Carrie Underwood  

Her makeup is beautiful  with a brown smokey eyes beautiful contour and nude lips

Miranda Lambert 

She looked so amazing! in a beautiful dark smokey eye! and great contour and blush

Taylor Swift 

Her makeup was sweet and clean

JLo

 I was so bussy looking at her dress I forgot to look at her makeup ! lol!!

But when I did, I was a little dissapointed. She didn't do much and her liner looks like its missing some! It looked as though she did her own makeup. And she wore a Nude Lip

Faith Hill 

Omg!!!! her makeup is amazing!!! Unfortunatly this picture doesn't do it justice. Nude Lip!

Nicole Kidman 

looked so stunning , her makeup looked beautiful.

Kat Dennings 

looked sooo stunning! her makeup was great! Classic pinup!

Kelly Rowland 

Wow beautiful dress! 

 Her makeup was very natural she looked beautiful! and again a nude lip

Adele

What happened to you , why did you pick this dress? 

As far as her makeup goes... Same old Adele. Beautiful, I just wish she would try something different.

Katy Perry 

Her makeup looked amazing! deep crease beautiful nude lips

Rhianna 

Her makeup is on point! golden shadows and red lips!

Beyonce

Also rocking the classic pinup look!

So to recap, a lot of the ladies went with classic pinup and the others with nude lips, and the one in between were the rebels, but I loved it all!

Now my all time favorite MAKEUP.... Kat Dennings  she looked amazing!!! you can tell she had a proffecional do her makeup.

and unfortunatly my worst makeup is....... JLo, what happened? you are always on point!

These ofcourse are my opinions, What did you think? who was your best and worst?

BREAKING NEWS: Ken Gets Caught Cheating!

As you may already know, I'm a makeup instructor for a beauty school. I absolutely love what I do! So my students and I were looking at a makeup website called Makeupbee. We came across a look that we fell in love with called When Ken Dumped Barbie by an amazing artist by the name of Rose Shock. Check her work out, it's amazing!

We loved it so much....we decided to put out own spin on it!

We call it When Ken Gets Caught Cheating! Pretty self explanatory, don't you think?

My students did an amazing job! I love these girls...I told them what to do and how to do it and they got it!

Tell me they don't look amazing...even a little psycho!

And what do we think about Ken? Well, I took care of him. Boy did I have fun! Being that it was Barbie cutting his heart out....I made sure the cut was heart-shaped. Look out boys!

At the end of the day, we walked around the school showing everyone this brilliantly inspired idea and it was a hit!

Man I love being a makeup artist!

Here are some more pictures for all of you to enjoy. My students did so great!

Fatima

Skye

Christina

What fun it is to express yourself with art!

Kim Kardashian Wedding Makeup

Everyone wanted to see the wedding of the year.... Kim Kardashian! What is she wearing? How's her hair? What will her makeup look like??

Well... I loved it all! She looked amazing!

I've already heard a couple of critics say that she didn't look like herself because her makeup was too soft.

Personally, I think she made a great choice. Kim Kardashian is always so made up that it's nice to see that for her wedding, she didn't do the "extremely tanned, bronzer'd, smokey eye" that she usually does.

Instead she went with a soft cut crease look, soft contouring and blush and a very neutral lip. A perfect look for a wedding!

If you want to hear from the makeup artist who actually did her makeup up, here is an interview that he did for People magazine : Mario Dedivanovic

In my tutorial, I show you how to achieve this look and the tricks on how to contour with just foundation.

Enjoy my tutorial. If you have any questions or want a few more tips on a wedding makeup look for you, contact me! I'm always happy to help.

Until next time Beauty Addicts...have a beautiful day!
