kat eyes: I want makeup like Kim Kardashian!!!

 
The majority of
people who I do makeup for
seem to always ask for makeup like
Kim Kardashian.
I think people LOVE it because
it's one step up from a "natural" look,
it's GLAM, and it GLOWS.
Here are a few of my pointers
to achieve this uber-popular look.


First: use a full coverage foundation
and set it with powder.
Kim has flawless skin.
Use a highlighter like
and highlight the top of your cheek bones,
down the center of your nose,
and middle of forehead (lightly).
This will give you that GLOW.


Second: line those eyes!
Kim loves a heavy liner
 and a "smoky eye".
Use a brush and apply a darker eyeshadow
around the eye and then line with a liquid
If you're more experienced, add some false lashes!


Third: Kim is usually sporting
 a pale glossy lip.
You can achieve the same look
by using a opaque matte lipstick
and covering it with a clear gloss.
some of their great pale shade like;

So let's review....
flawless skin with highlighted cheekbones,
smoky heavy lined eyes,
and a nude glossy lip
is all you need to channel your inner Kimmy.

kat tales: Long Beach Hair Show 2011


                          

Just returned from the Long Beach "Hair Show",
as we call it in the industry.
This year I worked for Powertools and Smart Solutions
with the Dennis Bernard team.
Good times!
I always leave feeling creative, inspired,
and excited to try new things.
Just wanted to share some of the pictures I took.
The Hello Beautiful Salon team.
Maria in action.
Dianna prepping her model.
Our beautiful model Brooke.
Robin working our booth and selling some product.
Notice her great hairstylist tatt!
For any stylist out there...TCA is the bomb!
Somehow Missie got reeled into this....
and now she looks like she belongs at a hair show!

I saw Tabitha Coffey and don't be surprised if you see
Hello Beautiful Salon on her show in the near future.
Dianna very willingly signed us up.

I got to see Nick Arrojo cutting hair.
I think he is brilliant.

The one thing I LOVED
and can't wait to try:

Until next year...
farewell for now to "The Hair Show"!

kat eyes: orange lips - hot for spring!


Oh Betty!
Orange lips are hot this spring.
And thanks to many fashion muses,
like Betty Davis,
we know how to do this shade right!
Orange is everywhere;
runways, magazines, and television.
For example, Joani on my favorite show:

 I'm loving it in ALL
shades from coral to peachy.
Pair it with a peachy blush
and some heavy liner.
Yummy!!!
