What makeup makes it to the purse?

Listen Ladies, I know that you’re always wondering “What makeup should I keep in my bag for an evening out?” We all know it’s not easy stuffing 23 products into those Fabulous yet unusually tiny Marc Jacobs handbags, so hear are my suggestions for what I believe to be the most important.

1. Your lip color.
For touch ups, a colored gloss that corresponds with whatever lip color you have on at the moment. The great thing about a colored gloss is that you can confidently touch up your lips on the fly, without a mirror. Less pigment means you don’t have to apply perfectly. No one will notice if you go a little outside or inside your lip line. All they notice is a sexy healthy lip.

2. Your complexion.
Always toss a sheer powder or blot powder that is in a mirrored compact into your purse.
No one wants to have a greasy shine only a healthy glow. Mirrored compacts are best because as I’m sure you’ll agree, the “ladies room” trips get annoying as the night goes on.

3. The cure all…..brows, lips and eyes all in one!
Carry along deep brown eyeliner, why? well because if you rub your eyebrow powder out you can wing a quick fix with a brown pencil, if you smudge your shadow apply a small amount of your cure all pencil and lightly smudge with your finger to blend. It can even be used with light pressure to line the lips in an emergency!

Voilà! 3 simple products are really all you need!

If you’re not counting the Aspirin, tissues, mints, cash, ID and cell phone of course. Here’s to all my fellow magicians… Keep stuffing those tiny purses!

I have soooo many more tips, tricks and advice to follow. Check back soon for more.

Till next time!

Hey all you make-up addicts out there, I wanted to share with you my top 4 FAV product recommendations. As a professional artist, I can assure you I have experimented with a plethora of brands/Products. Countless models, Entertainers and Actors have served as my guinea pigs in the past and to them I am forever grateful! Experimenting on these clients has allowed me to weed through a ton of products out there and find the best of the best. Ok! Ok! I won’t keep you waiting any longer! These are must haves!

Skin

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
This is the best foundation I have worked with, on photo shoots and in everyday life. This product is always by my side. Luminus silk foundation from Giorgio Armani, It has an amazing finish and you can choose your coverage.

Tip-apply a small amount for sheer coverage or build the product for a fuller coverage.

Eyes

Yves Saint Laurent False lash Effect in black
This is by far the best, longest wearing and most beautiful substitution to wearing an actual false lash. A must have for luscious lashes that stop traffic!

M.A.C. Fluidline in Blacktrack
I also have to say I couldn’t live without M.A.C.’s Fluidline in Blacktrack; this is a gel liner that dries like a liquid. It is so easy to control and you can also use it to create a quick Rockin’ smoky eye.

Tip- For a quick and sultry smoky eye, apply Fluidline over entire lid stopping just at the crease then sweep directly under lash line and blend blend blend!

Lips

M.A.C. Dazzleglass

My favorite list in this category changes like the wind. I’m always involved in a new affair with lip gloss. This month I’m obsessed with dazzleglass by MAC. They come in a handful of tones and provide the perfect wash of sheer color with tons of glitter. I love the Holographic 3D effect on the lips.

Dazzleglass is super shiny and super bold, definitely not for “plain Jane” type. My personal FAV tone is Sugar Rimmed. In fact I’m wearing right now.

Till next time!
