Getting Ready

What a beautiful and sunny afternoon it was with the hopes of getting together some great photos to build up my portfolio and taken by a professional. Only three photos were taken, maybe a good luck charm are because something was wrong with the SONY camera that was being used by Jason, a photographer and cosmetology student. So the show or the photo shoot had to take the road just to get a new memory card and the show could not go on because none of the stores had what needed to be in stock. Until the next episode things will be more together and more looks will be able to be captured.

Any ways it takes only a hour or two to get a model bikini ready and just a few minutes to capture a moment or few. The look I was going for was to keep things sweet like candy and bright like the summer skies. Tinted moisturizer was applied with a lot of translucent powder, E.L.F. eye shadow and bronzer in warm tan used, Maybelline Define-A-Lash mascara, lined the lips with Bare Mineral Jazzed and Buxom lip cream in White Russian.

So the show was not really going on.

Here are some more of the photos and turns out only five were taken and the other ones were not worth sharing because the expressions did not match the beautiful look.

To get the model's skin nice and ready, as in hairless and moisturized I used Jergens Natural Glow for Medium to Tan skin tones, Aveda foot relief and Gilette Satin Care with a touch of Olay.

Makeover for this Month

For the month of May, I got things started off with a makeover using none other than Mary Kay products. This look I was going for was a sun-kissed look. I did a makeover on Ashleigh a Mary Kay beauty consultant for a contest that will be open for votes May 10, 2013. Below is my story and one word that explains my entry. You can vote for my entry here, Makeover contest with MaryKay.

"I am someone who believes in the beauty of nature and loving who you are flaws and all. I love it when someone is true to themselves and I know that every woman can be content, which is tough when someone is insecure about their self. In a society that sends mixed messages of beauty I know that true beauty is a feeling more so than looks."

One woman can be CONTENT


If you notice that in the before photo she blends in with the background and the wall seems to  be giving more light than her. In the after photos she is very sun-kissed and the focal point that attracts the eyes to her. Mary Kay mineral bronzing powder was applied to define her cheekbones and all over the face after applying the foundation. At the very end Mary Kay loose powder was applied to set the makeup. My favorite of all of the products was the cream shadow because it reminded me of Maybelline cream gel color tattoo eye shadows that are long lasting up to 24 hours or just about water proof.

The brown mascara really brings out her eye color and  hair color. Nice golden brunette look that is very glowing.

Glorious Day.......

Today was such a wonderful day and for those who did not get a chance to go outside or may forget what to be thankful for, I am sharing my view of the world. Nothing but light and goodness is what I want for my life and  all you darlings. We have to bask in all of the glorious things of nature and all the beauty that sometimes goes overlooked.

I'm not playing around, Hindu is a wonderful way of life.

Solar energy and the silhouette of the trees are lovely

Sun shining through the clouds, always finding a way somehow.

Yes, the sun is the most brightest star.

I love and admire beauty in it's natural state.
