NEVER TOO MUCH MAKEUP

I thought of this new post after reading LIPSTICK RULES blog about neglecting her lipsticks lol. I have soo much makeup for just one person and I too do the same. I forget about half the makeup I have and keep buying more and new and anything exciting and bright and forget that I actually have double the makeup I really do, as does everyone else. There are sooooo many color combos you can make it's not even funny, It's amazing actually and very exciting to mix and create new colors, some of the best shades happen when your using 5 shadows on one eye, but the trick unless your going for an extravagant look is to not make it look like there are 5 shadows on one eye lol. There have been so many collections that I have missed out on simply because I do not want to not use it, but in the end if you love make up like I do then you can NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH MAKEUP!!!

IMATS PASADENA

I am back home from my first trip to the International Makeup Artist Trade Show, unfortunately I did not get to see any of the speakers or go to any of the classes as my boyfriend was the one to come with me and I did not want to bore him to death. hhaha but I hope to be living in LA as of this January and will attend next years show.

For my first show I was like a kid in a candy store on christmas morning! I wanted to be everywhere at once and take the whole convention home with me!! I felt like i needed to buy everything at the show, which anyone who loves makeup would easily be able to do the same, but there were a few things I had in mind that I wanted to get. Including palettes from Auraline Beauty http://www.auralinebeauty.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
which I love and I'm so happy to have them, ( concealer, cream to powder foundation).
I got tons of info on makeup schools which I hope to attend next year. I also got the shimmery 88 palette and I am super excited to use, I have to say thanks to the girl who was shopping next to me who talked me into getting it because it was so great.!!

Overall I enjoyed my first show and hope to attend more as my career develops.!
I just seen on another blog that marlena was at the show and I wish I could have met her, she is amazing at what she does. But I did get to see maxi which was pretty cool!












I also which I felt bad I kind of attacked him but I was so excited was petrilude from you tube

makeup at a young age

I am only 25 and growing up I loved to watch my mom put on her makeup. This was during the 80s so there was nothing but pink lipstick blue eyeshadow some pink blush and black mascara. I loved anything where I could use my imagination and be creative at a young age and as I got older I used my craft to become a hairstylist and a makeup artist. 15 years later makeup has evolved into a world of it's own with many more options than your 80s makeup! As I got older I started experimenting with makeup on my own, finding my own little tricks and techniques and I loved what you could do with makeup, very simple or dramatic as can be. It's a great talent to have and a great form of expression!!
