“Do you look at men with those eyes?”

“Do you look at men with those eyes?”

So, I have this (amazing) photographer friend…She needed some new shots for her portfolio! Check out the full blog here Laura Paige Photography.

Please keep in mind I have never “modeled” before. The words “chin down, neck out” are on repeat in my head even today.

What girl doesn’t want some fun head shots!

We like to call this one the mother of dragons…  This was  a little unusual for me, only because I tend to be pretty modest… I can just hear my brothers in the back ground..”mad put some clothes on”..

(I wish there more enhancements that could be made to this one 🙂

So I need to get back in the swing of things and post more often!  Mom and I went on our mother daughter trip to Italy this past March..

We splurged and bought  Hermès scarfs ..I know….When in Rome right? So because this scarf needs a shoot on its own, I had to wear it. The colors are unbelievable, I love the way it brightens up my face, however I can’t imagine wearing it often I’m so scared something will happen to it. So after these shots I immediately packaged it back up in its cute little orange cylinder.

Well ya know because I’m a stylist… I had to have this classic “let me play with my hair” shot. The scarf steals the spotlight 🙂

And again….

Oh ya know.. lets just lay in some grass.. and pray I  get eaten alive.

 

 

img_8353

You try and keep a serious face when the photographer says… “do you look at men with those eyes?”… And in my head I’m like …yes………duhh.

Lash Extensions By Gale At Brilliant Lashes

Lash Extensions By Gale At Brilliant Lashes

Holy cow, why did I wait so long to hop on the bandwagon! I think it was the pricing at first, however now that the craze has died down and can be handled than more than one local establishment pricing becomes more than affordable! Working at this new salon has linked me with a few new connections. My most recent find is Gale at Brilliant Lashes located in Chantilly Virginia.

I arrived at her house and she had a secluded room off to the side that was made into a spa room for lashes and other treatments! She played music for the two hours I laid there while she applied an individual lash extension on each lash… it’s really unbelievable how perfect she applies each one perfectly.

I have a pretty nice lash texture, they tend to be pretty thick and straight. However when you see yourself with longer more black lashes, it really opens the eye up and allows for you to leave the house with little to no makeup on… its amazing.

Back-shadow Blondes

Back-shadow Blondes

So, I love being blonde….realllly blonde… but during the winter its nice to have a change. So I decided to jump on bored with the new trend of back shadowing. I love this salon here in Northern Virginia called Maude its located in downtown Herndon. They have some skilled ladies working there. My stylist was Tina she stays up to date with the newest trends so she was excited to transform my old color into something fantastic! Naturally I showed her a picture off everyones favorite site Pinterest 🙂

IMG_1065

I love the shades of blonde throughout her hair.

Here is a picture of my hair with the roots.! The dark line was driving me nuts… I needed to have my natural color pulled through for a more natural grow out ( Just for the winter)

IMG_0415.jpg

yuck.

IMG_1073

Her strategy is confidential…… not really I just didn’t want to look vein by taking pictures while she was foiling…I do know that she like to foil out some sections and then tease lightly at the root and the apply the color throughout the strands.

IMG_1074

She nailed it.

IMG_1077

Nars

Nars

I’m so excited about my new Nars cosmetics I just received! Its so hard to find the perfect foundation for your skin and I think I have just found it! I have pretty smooth and clear skin but its can get pretty pink and blotchy especially in the winter so I decided to try the Sheet Glow Foundation Monte Blanc by Nars- Its truly a perfect match for my creamy complexion!

IMG_1033

I also surged and purchased a couple more items like the Dolce Vita blush 🙂 its a perfect color for the winter.

IMG_1032

And of course I needed to try their bronzer Laguna its a fairly lighter bronzer compared to their casino bronzer and can be layered to create a darker contour.

IMG_1031

To top it off I bought the pppppeeerrrrfect highligher Albatross! Im obsessed with Beccas Moonstone.. however I think I stumbled onto something better- It stays on for hours.

The finished look!

Yes, the quality of your oils matter.

New Years Bridal Trial

New Years Bridal Trial

How about planning the biggest night of your life on New Years! A wedding is a great way to celebrate your new life in the new year with all of your closest friends and family.

For a night like this you have to keep it classy by doing a very elegant up style and a classic red lip!

We started off by prepping her hair in 1 1/2 inch sections all over the head.

IMG_0640

Then while the hair cools down into form I started to apply her makeup.

IMG_0642

We did a fun cat eye liner and light smokey eye :)….. with a touch of highlighter and of course the red lip.

Oh don’t forget the individual lashes!

IMG_0646

After pulling the pins out of the hair I gave the hair a nice brush to give it that fluffy finished look. I then sectioned off the back of the head and pinned the remaining parts up.

IMG_0647

I put a tiny pony at the base of the hair and teased the pony so that I could wrap it up into a chignon base.

IMG_0648

I started to take the three sections above one at a time and brushing those sections, to see how the curl would fall. I then separated that one section into two sections and pinned them.

IMG_0649

Again I repeated the process.

IMG_0650

And again…. however this time I allowed for some volume at the top of the head.

IMG_0651

This is what were left with. You and your client have to decided what  you want the front to look like, my client and I decided on a very simple pulled back look.

IMG_0652

That seemed to look the best.

IMG_0657

The finished look!

IMG_0656

Mirror shot!

IMG_0654

We lifted the bang just a little to give it a touch of volume.

IMG_0659

I can’t wait to see her wedding pictures!!!!!
