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!!

(CLICK LINK TO SEE JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT AT HER BEST!!!)
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!!

What do you think??

PROM MAKEUP

I remember when I went to my prom. back in....muffle muffle...lol.  I had the best time although some parts are a blur.  It was a few years ago you know!  What I do remember is being with my friends and feeling so excited to be with my boyfriend of 4 years.  I remember my dress...bright red and the matching shoes...and the limousine...and the music and all the pictures!! Lots and lots of pictures!!! Pictures that will be revealed on Facebook and anywhere else people can post them...How do you want people to remember you?

I have always been blessed with the ability to apply makeup so my makeup looked good.  I cannot vouch the same for all the girls at the prom.  Some of them looked like they were struggling quite a bit and some didn't even bother.  Can you imagine?!?!  Not me.  I think you would want to look your very best on one of the most important days of your life. Right?!?  Prom is a day that marks growth and makes a statement.  You are becoming a young adult and need to look as such. 

I unforutnately did not have access to airbrush makeup.  In fact, I don't even think it existed yet (and if it did I didn't know about it) but if it had...I would've wanted it.  Airbrush makeup can give your skin that long lasting, fresh, dewy, natural  and perfect look! Without looking like you have any makeup on. Plus, it doesn't transfer onto clothing. Sounds great huh?  Take a look at my event site: http://www.thebloomingbeauty.com/ for a breakdown explanation of the differences between airbrush makeup and traditional makeup.  Both are awesome but they are different. It's kind of like the difference between a Range Rover and an Escalade.  Both are really nice but which would you rather drive? 

If you live in the Hollywood/Pembroke Pines/Miramar areas and need a makeup artist for your prom, please feel free to contact me. 

May all your makeup wishes come true!
