Find your beautiful you

It has been said, When you look good You feel good. And if you think about it long enough, you can agree. Remember when you bought that knock down gorgeous dress? You smirked, twirled, checked yourself out again and happily went up to the counter with your dress ready to pay whatever they say. Why? Because when you look good you feel good.  And forget about it when you find that perfect right shade of lipstick or the color hair you just know is for you. Maybe you graduated a program or made a milestone and think, Man! I really did it. I feel so good in which they may be your inner glow and pride being the looking good part.  What if you adopted a healthy eating plan and exercise routine that gave you confidence to strut your stuff?

Well, let's take this thought process up a notch. You have your favorite dress, your favorite lipstick, your favorite hairstyle; what can you do to capture that feeling? Have a photo shoot of course.
We all see the gorgeous lovelies in our favorite magazines, catalogs, tv shows and movie stars. Maybe you don't want to be those gals but maybe you think, "hey, I'd like to try that". And maybe you just don't know where to start or how it works.  Maybe you think you look great but not quite sure about having pictures made. I'd like to share a little bit about how it works and mostly why I think it's a good idea to try.

In my opinion, no one shall love you more than you can love yourself.  Beauty is merely only skin deep but it does add to how we feel about ourselves. Outside appearance is only one portion of who we are. But we are made up of so many other parts; spiritual, mental, emotional and intellectual.  When you love yourself, you tend to be open to vulnerability and open to embracing yourself; warts and all. After all, not many women are perfect however we are all beautiful. You can always find something about yourself to embrace and cherish.

So, if your hair is rocking, be proud and feel good. If you've got great lips, great eyelashes, toned biceps  feel proud, love it, own it. As a hairstylist, makeup artist, photographer, designer, crafter and other things geared toward empowering women, I encourage you to find your beautiful you. Not only do I encourage you, I will support you  as you discover your beautiful you.

Here's a story to share:
I met a young lady when she was 18. We cut and colored her hair, applied makeup, dressed her up and had a photo shoot. She was beautiful inside and out. About 5-6 years later, we did the same thing.  All dressed up, hairstyled, makeup applied, beautiful garments and accessories to enhance. After the shoot I edited the photos.  After I revealed the photos to her, I asked her " How did you enjoy the shoot? Are you happy with the photos you received?"  Her response was, "More than I thought possible!  I've been told so many times that I'm so pretty but I have literally never believed it until today. You have single-handedly changed the perception I had of myself."
Wow!! I never in a million years would have guessed this. She is young gorgeous, full of life, open, happy, sweet and honest. I can't imagine that she would be so unaware.

My goal in all I do is to help women find their beautiful. As a hairdresser, I take pride in giving good service that includes hair color, hair cut, etc. As a makeup artist, I am so incredibly close to your face that I get to objectively look at you AND enhance your beauty. As a photographer, I'm looking to pose you and guide your expression and encourage your own personality to shine through to the final edits.

Temptu Air brush Makeup

I love my airbrush make up system. And gals who have had it done before, love it!! They even seek it out to be done. They won't settle for the old way of applying foundation, blush and highlighter any more!!

Foundations are lightly sprayed over the face. You can have a light application or go heavier for a more photo finished look. But the most important thing to remember is:  Not just one color makes for the most natural look. Faces aren't one solid color. So it's good to know that  your artist is using 1-3 different foundation shades for contouring and highlighting. We have all seen the photo shopped, over air brushed finished models who look like an artificial lifeless doll. Who wants to look like that?  I don't know many, that's for sure. So, although airbrush makeup looks easy, it's important to know that it's not "just that easy". A true artist brings all the variations of tones back to the clients face.

And let's not forget the neck either!! There is nothing worse than the dreaded "floating head" We've all seen it. The gal has gorgeous bronzed face, perfectly contoured cheeks, beautifully done eyes to die for and a completely white neck!! How terrible!  But with the Temptu Airbrush system, I can easily spray down into the neck and into the décolleté area without much worry of it look  dirty into the evening. How do I know this? Because I do it nearly every day, I know!  I also have done it to many, many clients. Sometimes I find that I even have to airbrush foundation over a gals reddened bra strap lines!!  Once I set the foundation with powder, it's nearly transfer proof!!

Air brush blush is amazing!! It goes on so lightly, so easily, so perfectly!!  And if you're the gal who loves to have dewy cheeks, it is for you!!  But what if you don't like it so dewy, that's not a problem!! With just a flick of a brush, it can easily be matted down.

In the end, even make up shy gals can have a beautiful finish to their skin without fear of looking too made up. When you're not used to wearing makeup, a little goes a long way for you. And you should feel good about getting made up. I know I feel good applying air brush makeup!! It's my go-to foundation and blush application without a doubt. And because it's so long lasting and ideal for brides, It's a win-win all around.

Balayage Highlights

 

Balayage Highlights and Ombre Highlights are still popular in Hollywood and women all over the world. Claimed to be the  most realistic and natural looking highlighting service, Balayages popularity has never waned.

 

Before

After

 Why you ask? Simple. If you look at beach bunnies or gals who play sports outdoors, you'll see lighter ends gradually getting darker towards the roots. The sun hasn't had a chance to dance on and lighten those newly grown in hairs. Because the hair around the hairline is easier to lighten, those hairs look more highlighted.  This highlighting service tends to more artistic in its placement and easier on the eyes when it grows in. Unlike traditionally place foil highlights, the line is softer and less harsh when growing out. Although the look isn't for all, it is popular and desired. It's beachy and natural Sun Kissed feel is what's so special about it. Over all softness and blending is achieved  without harsh lines and abrupt stops like traditional foil highlighting.

I am prepping things for the Big Wedding Hair and Make Up Services that will launch in the Fall.
