“Lash Out” Eyelash Extension Experience
February 18, 2013
BEAUTY BLOG

This week I received the ultimate eyelash extension experience with Melissa Rentfro at Moda Hair Design. Although I wasn't the best candidate for lash extensions because my eyes refuse to remain still when closed, it was a learning experience for both of us and I am so happy with the results. Why eyelash extensions?For years, being a natural blonde I've always tried to find an antidote for my long but blonde eyelashes. I've tried everything from tinting to curling and could never spend less than 10-15 minutes per day making my eyes look bright naturally. This blog is all about lashes as we all have different eye eye shapes, types of natural lashes, statements we'd like our eyes to make in different situations, and of course budgets. Today I am making a few recommendations for you to

What is Foundation Primer? Prepping your skin before foundation
February 18, 2013

What is foundation primer? Foundation primer has been on the market for quite some time. I was first introduced to it when I was working on the set of Fade in 2006 and lead actress Sarah Lassez handed me a primer made by Laura Mercier and asked me to use it beneath her foundation. At the time, I thought it was an expensive gimmick that I wouldn't be able to keep stocked in my kit, Sarah has beautiful skin no matter what, as most actresses and models do.Later, I discovered Smashbox Photo Finish - Blend' Color Correcting Foundation Primer Blend through my good friend and high end beauty product consumer, Becky. I tried using foundation primer under my foundation for the first time and noticed my skin looked instantly smoother. As my workday, in front of a mirror, progressed I noticed

How do I use “Dry Shampoo?”

How do I use dry shampoo? What exactly is it? Will it dry out my hair? What if my hair is oily can I still use a "dry shampoo?"These are questions I get behind the chair so frequently that is why I am going to blog about it for you today because I can reach so many more people this way and deliver quality beauty recommendations for you.
As you may have heard, shampooing your hair daily is an absolute no no because it makes your scalp produce excess sebum or oil that makes your hair and scalp feel even dirtier.
Dry shampoos have made a comeback recently as a backlash because big drugstore companies have sold us to believe in washing our hair on a daily basis and also because classic styling and setting has made a big comeback this year on the red carpet.
Dry shampoo is a term

My new addiction…Cosmetic subscription Beauty Box 5

After going through my make up kit and disposing of all of the old cosmetics I had been hanging on to and more or less embarrassing myself in front of my clients, I cleaned up my make up kit at the beginning of the year and realized I was left with just the basics because the days of be just buying cosmetics just to try them once were over, even as a make up artist.I had been contemplating purchasing a beauty subscription like Birch Box, Glossybox, Ipsy, or Beauty Army. I was open to trying multiple subscriptions however, a lot of the brands were products I've tried before and don't necessarily purchase.
When I found Beauty Box5 it seemed to have more organic emerging brands of cosmetics or cosmetics designed by make up artists. I am giving it a shot and so far so good. I received

Here are 5 Super Common flat iron Myths
CRANKING UP THE HEAT—ALL THE WAY
You don't need 450 degrees, a flat iron set at 410 works for every hair type.FORGETTING PROTECTION
Not enough people use thermal protectors, Look for a no-hold formula, like Kerastase Nectar Thermique before blow drying and using your flat iron.
RUNNING OVER (AND OVER AND OVER) CURLS
Get hair as straight as possible before even using your flat iron by stretching out each section with a brush. Then slide the iron slowly and steadily in a single pass. Don't stop and go, or you'll get horizontal lines.
GOING BOARD-STRAIGHT
Instead of ironing hair straight, parallel to your face, move your flat iron in a C shape as you proceed down the hair, and
