Just The Begining…

Literally 5 months into the game, I recieved a phone call from a photographer that I had befriended in Facebook. We showed love, feedback, and I was just waiting for the opportunity to get the chance to work together on some projects. I got that opportunity November 17, 2010! I got the chance to do makeup for Reality Star Tracy Dimarco from Oxygen’s reality show “Jerseylicious” !! The shoot was for the cover and spread for an online/print magazine Hidden Treasures!http://hiddentreasuresmag.com I was super excited and super proud of myself…& Even though it has been an entire year later, I would like to share that day with you guys! pictures are below!!

Blush Beauties, Ive gotten sooo many questions regarding FAKE Mac Vs. REAL Mac. Up to a few years ago, I never knew this even exsisted. ! But, they knock off everything else, so what makes Makeup so different, right..? l0l I did alot of research, watched videos, etc on this subject. I uploaded 2 REALLY good videos from youtube, take a look.!

Dare to be Different!

Trying new and different things has to be my favorite part of being a makeup artist! Its sooo many different things that you can do and you like NEVER have to follow the rules or go exactly by the book right. . ? INDEED!! So, stepping outside the box and being creative is what helps to keep me going below are some faces that I have done. MAKEUP DONE BY CARINN KANAKI . .Tell me what you think. .smooches…xoxox

Eyebrows! Eyebrows! The eyebrows are essentially, the “Framing of the face” and they set the face for the overall application. ! Above is a video on what I like to call ” Everyday Eyebrows”. . They arent over the top, they are very simple and any woman can do this! I will be adding another Makeup tutorial on eyebrows that is more extrme, so stay tuned!

Step 1: Use eyebrow clear gel to brush all the hairs up and in place. Trim as needed.

Step 2: Underline the bottom of the eyebrows with a liner (color of your preference) This helps “define” it and gives it more shape and looks cleaner too :-)
You can also line the top. It all depends on your personal preference!

Step 3: Fill in with Milani’s “Brow FIX Brow KIT”. And you are done!
