    Opposite of yesterday's look: Tousled hair and smoky eyes

    So this is what my new hair cut looks like when I leave it wavy. Today's makeup job is a bit half assed. Excuse the shitty lighting and out of control eyebrow. Goddddd, I feel so lazy. It's my off day; I'm entitled! Mainly Black Tied on the eyes and Viva Glam VI on my bare lips...should...

    Yesterday's red lips + new hair cut

    I got the Nicole Richie cut...my long, beautiful hair is gone! This is cute, but I am going to grow it all back after this. Long hair is more "me." Anyway, here's the breakdown. I wanted to do something simple since it was my day off. Face: Studio Finish concealer in NW25 under eyes Blot...

    I'm permanent!

    I have a "home" now after about 3 weeks of freelancing (technically my hire time with MAC is closer to month). I'm excited since it all happened fairly quickly, plus I get my discount (MAC and Macy's) and gratis now. Just wanted to share! :-D

    Waternymph EOTD

    Train cases/makeup bags

    I'm shopping around for train cases but don't need anything fancy or expensive (i.e. a huge MAC case). I found this one: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2852590?...=searchresults ...and was wondering how sturdy/durable it is. If anyone has rants/raves to share about this Japonesque train...

    Starry Eyed/Viva Glam VI FOTD

    I worked the Viva Glam event today and I just got home. Keep in mind that this was applied about 8 hours ago (I touched up the lips around 4 though), so some of it has worn off. I took off my VG Dita t-shirt but most of my makeup is still on so I just thought I'd share. The theme today was a...

    Uniform/dress code question

    Has anyone had any trouble wearing Kangol caps to work? I know that logos on clothing are prohibited but the kangaroo logo on the back of the cap is pretty small so I'm wondering if that would matter at all. I'm aware that it sometimes just depends on the counter manager, but I freelance so...

    I got the job!!!

    I got the call this morning and I am now a freelance/on call artist for MAC! It was such a pleasant surprise. I was interviewed in a big group with a bunch of girls who'd been to makeup school and such so it was very intimidating to be the self-taught underdog. I will be serving the Orange...

    Question re: group demos

    So I got an update from the manager at MAC and it turns out that I will be going to a group interview next week (instead of the one-on-one day to night demo I was originally scheduled), where MAC managers from all over the county will be looking for permanent and freelance artists. I was told...

    Foundation/concealer matching

    I'm preparing for my MAC demo and have a color matching question. Bear with me...I don't wear foundation and don't have light skin so I'm a little stumped on this. My model is a C2 in Studio Fix. I will be using Select Tint in NC20. What shade of Select Moisturecover or Select Cover-Up should I...

    Bear with me...I don't wear foundation and don't have light skin so I'm a little stumped on this. My model is a C2 in Studio Fix. I will be using Select Tint in NC20. What shade of Select Moisturecover (or Select Cover-Up) should I use on her? She has gorgeous, clear porcelain skin so I'll...

    Tempting + Waternymph

    All MAC unless noted. Keep in mind that I put this on in the morning...my face is SO shiny (i.e. sweaty or "dewy" if you want to be nice) now. Damn heat! Anyway, I wish my camera phone did Waternymph some justice. It's so pretty and vibrant in person. Face: Blot Loose in Medium Dark Margin...

    I have a second interview with MAC!

    I'm going back in a couple of weeks to do my makeup demo. I was told that I'll have one hour to do a day to night look. The manager wants me to fill a part-time artist position that opens up in September so I won't be starting right away, but I'm still really excited! Wish me luck! :-)
