Tousled & Wavy Bob (Wedding & Special Events Makeup Artist in Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area)

http://bellasu.gr/20604448 {click link}

I happened to be in style once again but this time accidentally! How you may ask? Well, due to all of my hair coloring, relaxing and use of heat products mixed with a little stress....and voila, my hair became extremely dry and fell out!! It came to the point that I had to go to the hairdresser and get a "HUGE" trim....practically 3 inches to be exact! I became a smidge depressed because I was so attached to my hair. In the process, I learned to embrace my looks and started to enhance the features I liked. My eyes and lips and oh yeah,...my cheekbones aren't that bad either...so I am finally happy..with my tousled wavy hair...which happened accidentally on purpose. See everything happens for a reason. I am in style without even really trying. The lesson in this, love where you are in your hair process and embrace the good. Enhance the positive!

Wedding & Special Events Makeup Artist in Miami and Fort Lauderdale(Adrian De Moura's makeup from The Real Housewives of Miami)

This is from a gig I had working with NuvoTv (formerly known as SiTV) for the marketing for a television show called Operation Osmin. It was actually back in May of 2011 but I found this pic in my archives and realized I never posted it! In any case, Adrian De Moura was one of the recruits on the show. The Operation Osmin show is a program that has a psychotic trainer named Osmin Hernandez that basically puts 10 out-of-shape recruits through hell for 30 days with hardcore training, constant criticism, and a diet of fish, salad and water. I still am baffled as to why the beautiful and very slim De Moura was on the show to begin with. Apparently she wanted to tone up...and that I can say, was successful, considering how toned she appears to be. Hmmmm, I was considering going on the show myself, what do you think?? I like fish, salad and water. Lol

Miami and Fort Lauderdale Wedding and Special Event Makeup Artist {Using Primer}

Honestly, I could not do a face for a South Florida bride or any special event without my handy dandy primer! It is like magic actually. My life as a makeup artist rides on the fact that I am a professional and can create a long lasting and beautiful makeup look for each and every one of my clients. In fact, I think I would be out of business otherwise. So how do I make the foundation last and last and last you may ask? Simply put, the primer. The Motives Perfecting Face Primer is oil free, super duper hydrating and ultimately creates a smooth canvas. In essence, it evens out the skin tone and actually deflects imperfections. Who would not want that?? Do you use primer? How has your life changed since you started using primer?? Do tell.

Miami-Fort Lauderdale Wedding Makeup Artist {CAT EYE}

They say a picture is worth a thousand words but the only word I can think of is "WOW!!!"  This look can easily be toned down or up for a beautiful South Florida wedding. The "cat eye" has always had that sexy demure connotation.It can be achieved with the Motives liquid eyeliner. You can modify the look by either creating a thicker or thinner perfect line with the amazing brush on this ah-mah-zing eyeliner. (check out my site:TheBloomingBeauty.com and click the Motives Cosmetics link to order your own)  The lips are a beautiful peachy neutral tone which is matching the neutral nail....although it would look fabulous with the infamous french manicure brides tend to prefer.  Of course, a beautiful updo would complement the whole look and really "bridafy" it (is that a word??).  In any case, I do not think your fiance would be mad at you if you slowly approached him walking down the aisle sporting this look!!

Let's face it, Jennifer Love Hewitt is the picture of perfection in this pic. My South Florida brides would benefit from this look in every sense of the word.  This makeup and hair can last and hold up to the humidity of the Florida weather. The hairstyle is for the statement bride who wants to "marry" (get it??) both her classy and sexy style. Strategically added hair pieces can give the hair a beautiful, messy fun look...while still keeping things young and unstuffy (so to speak).  As for the makeup, simply gorgeous!! Very natural with touches of subtle color to give the skin life.  The eyes have a wash of bronze shimmer and are lined with a cream colored eyeliner to make the eyes look open and innocent (great technique for small eyes). However, the lashes create that subtle sex appeal that every bride wants on her big day! I think she looks ah-mah-zing!! A quick squirt of Motives Ten Years Younger http://motivescosmetics.marketamerica.com/index.cfm?action=shopping.csProductDetail&prodID=3077735 (which I use on a daily basis) will set the makeup and keep lines at bay. Loooove it!!
