More weddings should have Ostrich plumes… it’s so glamorous!

I just attended a wedding at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress and it was well fashioned with huge white Ostrich plumes provided by Vangie de la Concha of Blossoms. It was so elegant and probably the most elegant style of weddings I’ve ever seen.

How to De-Pot Your MAC Eye Shadow & Blush

Tools You’ll Need:
1. Toaster Oven with a sheet of Aluminum Foil
2. Butter Knife, Xacto Blade & Scissors
3. Rubbing Alcohol
4. Q-tips or Cotton Swabs
5. Paper Towel & Baby Wipes
6. Magnetic Sheet (found at JoAnn Fabrics or Michael’s)
7. MAC Pro Pallet

Now you’re ready to begin!
1. Slide your blade in between the small slit in your MAC case once you’ve
opened the lid. This will pop out the shadow and small case around it.
2. Place up to 5 shadows on a sheet of aluminum foil in the toaster oven and
bake for 3-5 minutes on 300 degrees.
*If you put more than 5 at a time you will not be able to complete the step before the glue starts to adhere again.
3. Most of the pans will pop out of the plastic cases on their own because of
the heat but if they don’t you just take your knife and carefully lift the
pan out. The plastic won’t be ridiculously hot but the metal pan is so be
CAREFUL not to burn yourself.
4. Once the pans cool, clean the bottoms with the rubbing alcohol to remove the
glue.
5. Cut small squares or circles out of the magnetic sheet and place them on the
bottom of each clean pan of shadow.
6. Carefully remove each label and place it on the bottom of the shadow (on top
of the magnet).
7. Take your butter knife and wedge it in between the center open space of your
Pro Pallet to pop out the spacer (you only have to do this step if you want
to fit more shadows in each one).
8. You’re DONE! Now just place them in whatever order makes you happy and
instead of fitting 15 shadows in the pallet you can now fit 22!

Remember to SAVE all of your plastic MAC containers for the Back to MAC recycle program where you can return 6 for a free lipstick at any MAC counter OR return 6 to any Pro store and chose a lip color, shadow or a few other products of the same price.

Today’s Boudoir Shoot – a success!

Today I got to be a part of a boudoir shoot for one of my super hot brides (Angela Baragona). We did the shoot at the Crown Plaza downtown in the Presidential Suite and the photographer who took all of these magnificent photos is Mr. JR Sterling. Angela did the shoot as a wedding present to her handsome groom Matt and he absolutely loved it!
In my opinion ladies, a boudoir shoot is way better than having bridal portraits done.

3 Day Wedding Extravaganza

So this week we executed the long awaited, much anticipated wedding between Kalani & LeslieAnn. I had the pleasure of doing LeslieAnn's hair and makeup for all of the 4 events leading up to the beautiful wedding on Saturday. LeslieAnn was a unique bride with a great affinity for looking glamourous - hello! a makeup artist's dream! We did a sexy loosely gathered hair style for the first event (a Hawiaan themed welcome party) complete with spectacular faux tropical flowers arranged in her hair and fun, bright makeup. The second look was a throwback to my favorite era of old Hollywood. We chose a very Audrey like ivory & black silk dress so that we could do a big chignon with silver, diamond & pearl hair flowers with none other than blazing red lips, perfect brows and bambi lashes. It was a smash hit! Later that night we transform LeslieAnn into the South Beach Hottie for her rehearsal dinner. We chose big wild beach waves, sexy bronzy skin and eyes with glossy gold lipgloss to finish off her look. The main event... Drum roll please... this bride wanted a 'Kim Kardashian' makeup look paired with an over-the-top take on the recent SJP award show hair style, which I will be honest, the execution made me a little tense but thank goodness we nailed it and it was another home run.

Whew... many thanks to a magnificent couple, a wonderful wedding party, an amazing and creative wedding planner - Vangie de la Concha and the ever pleasent event planner at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress - Angela Palacio (who by the way did all of the fantastic invitations - check out papercharm.com).
