Old blue

Peacock

This look was inspired by a look I saw on one of my guests at work. She was wearing a beautiful green and gold look, I was going to go for the same look but upon waking up this morning decided to go with teal greens and turqoise and blue.  Forgive me for being ut of frame most of the video, I am still trying to become totally conscious and aware of the camera since this is new to me.  It has taken me months to even find a spot with fairly decent lighting. For most of what you can't see me doing it's just eyeliner and following the same color scheme on my lower lashline below the liner with a smudger. I used my same trusty Urban Decay Book of Shadows, 24/7 waterproof pencil and liquid liners in Perversion and primer, BHCosmetics 28 color neutral eyeshadow and blush palette, NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow pencil in Milk (depotted) and had I have remembered the mascara it would have been Rimmel Curves.

Eye Can Teach You Coming Soon

I am finally at a point where I can start teaching what I love to do and have enough free time to do it 3 days a week. Appointments will be first come first serve as I will only have enough time to service one person per day (I do work full time and part time at a second job and I have to have time to feed myself and rest). My price is $35 for a one on one informative and basic application session that will last from 1-1 1/2 hours. The only thing you will need to provide is mascara and eye liner, as these items are hard to keep sanitized and to make sure that your eyes are already free of any makeup and product. I provided my phone number but my email I can respond to faster, however if you do not have email a phone call will suffice and you MUST leave a message if you want me to call you back. I realize that many of you have families and small children but a quiet, orderly setting will make this a better experience for us both and keep my makeup and tools which are very important to me from accidentally being destroyed or wasted. I will begin taking appointments July 31st and will come to you. Hope to hear from you soon!

Camo Green

This look was inspired by a pair of camo capris that I have.  Forgive the background noise, it is hot as a mofo and a sista has to do something to help keep the utility bill down so that is my fan that you hear (bear with me, I'm working on this adding music thing, every time I think I have it figured out I hit another snag).  Also forgive me but I prefer not to talk on video, maybe I will get over not liking the sound of my own voice someday but in the meanwhile it will be the basics.  I did my best to keep in frame I did get out a few times but you get the idea.  The products I used were Urban Decay Book of Shadows, BHcosmetics 88 Cool Matte palette, NYX Jumbo Shadow pencil in Milk (it was depotted), Urban Decay Primer Potion, 24/7 Waterproof lincer pencil and 24/7 liquid liner both in Perversion which is as black as they come.  I don't normally were a full face of makeup, usually just a little concealer because I have had bags and dark circles most of my life but for the sake of not looking a total mess on camera and to pracitce my contouring I did a full face before I started recording and it was a rush job which is why the color is a bit off.  Last but not least forgive the sloppy work, I had just removed my makeup that I wore to work so my eye would not stop tearing up so I had to work fast to get the shadow and liner on before it was all washed away by my tears (this is why you see me either holding the tape down and reapplying it, my tears were seeping under it and causing it to come off).  Anywho I hope that you enjoy the look and that this video was at least somewhat helpful.

Fresh color, two strand flat twist updo, and makeup

Make up and hair color

So I know I'm not on here like I wanted to be, but I have yet to find the energy while working seven days a week to post anything and I've been having a hard time finding the right light to record anything in my apartment, but here is some recent work for the time being.

Getting my makeup on

I keep reading and seeing signs that say invest in yourself, so with some of the extra money I have earned at the salon I decided to go ahead and start investing in a starter makeup kit. This is what I ordered today and I am super excited for it to arrive. I really hope to begin giving lessons to beginners and hopefully everything will take off from there. With all the inquiries I get I figured this is another thing I can do that I love which won't make it feel like work, and it will make other women feel good about themselves.
