I was out in the garden up to my eyeballs in dirt when my son showed me this amazing Kinglet bird. I could not stop thinking about that bird, until later, when I had sat down to spin up some rainbow wool, I had to stop what I was doing and recreate this look in makeup. I forgot to label on...

Well, since I have not done some intense looks in a while, I decided to have a last hoorah before I leave on vacation next week. I thought I would try to pull up something really fun and creative to share with you all here and on MUA. Here is what I came up with : Oh wait- before I show you...

I was having a bad day Saturday. A really bad day. My husband tried to get me out of the house, so I decided to become someone totally different. I remembered a video of *chola inspired makeup* that someone on makeup alley told me about, so I did a look inspired by that. It is more on the...

One thing that I enjoy as a makeup artist is *re-inventing* myself from day to day. I always dreamed of being able to do this, and now it is a reality, which I find extremely exciting and fulfilling. In retrospect of this year, and realizing that I have not been posting FOTD's much on...

Ever since the Sephora catalog came out for the Holiday season of 2007, I have been captivated by the eye look. Everyone I talked to was thrilled with it, and it has bugged me since it came out. HOWEVER- there is not a product in Sephora that would make it look like the photo. I was even...

I was having a very bad day so I wanted to cheer myself up. I decided to be inspired by the Antiquitease Colour launch by MAC and I decided to be a golden girl. As I put my look together, I started to think of all of the people who said that Milady was not for them, and one even said an MA...

yep, Colorqueen did a NEUTRAL eye! Can you believe it? But this time I am really loving the duochrome-ness of the Family Silver duo. Family Silver has a rosy copper micro glitter/shimmer in it. Now THIS Aquatease Color Holiday collection is MY idea of HOLIDAY! I did two different...

I could not stand it, I had to put on as much of my new MAC stuff as I could. The application is quick and slap happy, but I wanted to see how it all looked. So here it is. I absolutely LOVE these colors- I have no other makeup on besides the eyes and lips, btw, so the look is not as good as...

Okay guys, since I have not been here for a few months hardly at all, I thought I would give you a treat and post a smattering of some of the FOTD's I have done in the last few months. All of them are marked and are measuring to meet the 600x800 pixel max, so I hope you can see them all okay...

I have had a terrible time the last two years with people dying that have been special to me (like over 20 people). For a short while, I had a repreive, but the last few weeks have been rather tough. I found out my best friend growing up (friends for 20+ years) is dying with a brain tumor and...

We were having a discussion the other day on another makeup site about something a famous cosmetic company owner said about no one should wear blue eyeshadow and only rock stars and I forget who else should wear smokey eyes- no one else.:confused: So, in honor of rebelling against this...

Here are some photos (not too great photos, I might add) from the movie. The trailer at the end of this list is better to see her costuming and jewelry. As some of you know, i went NUTS when I saw this movie and just HAD to be Esther as my next goal for this holiday season. I figured it...

This is what I did yesterday- it turned out really beautifully. I used only FL and Shimpagne on my eyes as shadows, and it is such a beautiful translucent look that I find myself quite happy with it. I took pictures in different lighting in three different places to give a better idea of the...

I decided to do a new twist on a natural face, with FL and MSF. the photos did not turn out nearly as well as I would have liked- it was too dark, but I got enough to show you an idea of what it looked like. I was thrilled with how it turned out. Thanks to all of you who have inspired me to...

When I was looking at the photos of FOTD today, I came upon some rainbow eyes. The little eyes looking over my shoulder went berserk. I was cajoled, begged, and pleaded with to do a new kind of rainbow eye on her. It did not take much twisting of the arms, but I got it done. We hardly ever...

It was too dark to get good photos Saturday, but here is what I got for you. I hope to take better photos in the future. In reality, the look is quite glowy and translucent- breathtaking. These photos made the shadow colors look more stark than they really were on my skin. I still wanted...

Okay, well I decided to do a quick slap up job to play around with Rose Gold. I never could make it work for me in the past when I tried it on, so when I lost it, I was frustrated because I never got to play with it and see if I could make it work. But!....Friday someone (not from MUA) sent...

After having a great day that crashed with a resounding thud, I decided to amuse myself amidst the unending rain and blahness by dressing radically different. so, I decided to do a twist on my Marilyn look. When we got to the restaurant, there was a 75 minute wait, so the nicest Chanel woman...

I have on no makeup in this photo collection, which is obvious but I just wanted to show you all my new hair. It is a fun style- fresh out of the package, so it will be a bit fluffier on top once I mess with it more. This was a really interesting acquisition- cost me next to nothing and came...
