Easy, fresh, and clean look

2012-01-07T09:45:00.001-08:00

Hanea was going to her event she planned for a sweet sixteen. She needed something nice, sexy, but clean and fresh looking. The company logo was on her shirt and it has the color purple in it. So for her eyes I did three different shades of purple. Two bright purple on the lid and a dark purple for her crease. A soft reddish brown for her tradition color and a soft cream color for her highlight. Lined the eyes with a black eye shadow and smugged it out a little. No lashes. As for her face I concealed all dark areas plus dark circles under her eyes and used a mineralize finishing powder and a soft pink blush. I nuded out her lips with concealer, lined with dark brown, and used a creamy nude lip gloss.

How to apply foundation

2011-12-21T16:45:00.001-08:00

- Blend the cream foundation smoothly using a cosmetic sponge in long sweeping motions.

- Cosmetic sponge helps you to manage and apply foundation more easily and gives a better and smoother result.

- For perfect matching, foundations should not be tested on hands or insides of your wrist as the color of your face definitely differs from the color of these areas of your body. The best way is to test the foundation on your jaw line and see whether it matches the natural color of your neck or not. Matching under different light settings gives you a better idea about the correct foundation for your skin.

- Foundation needs to be blended, properly, especially under the jaw line, into the hairline, on the ear lobes, corners of the nose and mouth and over and under the eyes, so that they don't let on the difference that the foundation makes to your skin to the viewer.

- To retouch a particular spot, reapply the foundation there lightly and blend it with the rest of the face. Then powder it lightly with the translucent powder to let it set properly.

- Touchup with dual active powder foundations can easily help you to change your look from day makeup to night makeup as it works as foundation as well as powder. For sheer finish using this foundation, you just have to dampen your cosmetic sponge a little.

- While applying liquid foundation, it is better to put small points of foundation at different parts of your face such as forehead, nose tip, chin and cheek bones and then blend a little at a time on the face to give a more finished look.

- You can use powder foundation just like the normal compact powder.

Tips for hooded eyes

2011-12-20T05:40:00.001-08:00

For hooded eyes you should use special eye makeup technique that helps your 'create' lids and open the eyes:

- Apply lighter shadow on the lids and on along the brow bone.

- Apply medium eyeshadow on the crease and hooded area.

- Apply dark eyeshadow on the outer corner blending it upwards.

- Line upper lids to open the eye.

- Apply black mascara to upper and lower lashes.

How to apply eyeshadow for hooded eyes

avoid using dark colors over your entire eye as it will make the eyes appear smaller.

- use light shadow on brow bones.

- apply darker shadow on lids to just above the crease.

Usually you should use three colors:

- The lightest color will open and brighten your eyes.

Apply light shade from the inner corner to the middle of lid from lashes to brow line.

To make your eyes appear wider, apply highlight from the inner corner of you lower lid to the middle of the lower lid.

- The medium color will give slight depth to eyes.

Apply medium color to your lid crease. Blend well.

- The most intensive color will give shape to the eyes.

Apply the darkest contrasting color to the outer corner of your eye. If your eyes are close-set, apply the darkest color on the lower lid along the eyelashes.

Natural eye makeup application

2011-12-20T05:36:00.001-08:00

Natural eye makeup technique will apply to most women. Follow the steps below for a beautiful basic eye makeup application that works for different eye shapes. If necessary, you may vary your eye makeup application depending on your eye shape:

1. Apply light eyeshadow from lash to brow to open your eyes. Use neutral colors.

2. Apply medium color to your eyelid crease and blend up to the brow bone. This shade should be close to your natural skin color. This will give slight depth to eyes.

3. Apply dark eyeshadow of the same color in the outer corners of your eyes to shape your eyes.

4. Optionally apply dark shade along upper and lower lash lines or line upper lids with eyeliner. Avoid thick lines.

5. To brighten your eyes, you could apply a bit of shimmery shadow in the inner corners of your eyes.

6. Apply mascara on upper lashes with emphasis on outer corners.

7. Shape ebrows and fill in with eyebrow pencil

Natural eye makeup tips:

- To get a natural makeup look, you should keep your eye makeup application technique to a minimum.

- Warm colors look more natural.

- Apply eyeliner as close to lashes as possible

- Smudge the line or use the matching eyeshadow to soften.

What you will need for natural eye makeup

- You will need two or three tones of eyeshadow but three tones are better. They should have the same neutral tone. Warmer colors look great anytime.

Light shade - to open and brighten your eyes.

Medium shade - to give depth to eyes.

Dark shade - will give shape to the eyes.

The intensity of color you wear depends on your skin tone. The lighter the skin tone, the less intense color you should use.

- Eyeliner

- Mascara

- Eyebrow pencil

Simple eye makeup application

2011-12-20T05:32:00.001-08:00

Although eye makeup trends changes quickly, there are some simple eye makeup tips and tricks that work for almost everyone:

- light shades make your eyes visually bigger and wider while dark shades make your eyes visually smaller and deeper set

- while using eyeliner, draw the line as close to lashes as possible, then smudge the line or use the matching eyeshadow to soften

- to make eyes appear bigger, apply eyeliner from middle of the eyelid to the outer corner of your eye and extend eyeliner beyond the eye

- for softer look you can line your eyes with deep-toned eyeshadow instead of the eyeliner

- when using dark eyeshadow on the lower eyelid avoid lining the bottom. 

- for more natural look, apply mascara on the outer tips of your lashes

- to make your lashes thicker, close your eyes and dust them with loose power before applying your mascara

- to avoid the clumps, use a special eyelash comb or a second wand to brush stuck eyelashes

- if you apply more than one coat of mascara, always allow the first coat to dry before applying the second one

- For a more dramatic look curl your eyelashes before applying mascara.

Simple eye makeup application

Follow the steps below for simple eye makeup application that works for different eye shapes:

1. Prepare your eyes. Even if you do not intend to wear the foundation, apply eye base to your eyelids to prepare them for eye makeup application. It helps you wear eye makeup longer.

2. Eyeshadow application

Start with applying light eyeshadow from lashes to brow to open your eyes. Apply medium color to your eyelid crease and blend up to the brow bone. This shade should be close to your natural skin color. This will give slight depth to eyes.

Complete eyeshadow application with dark eyeshadow of the same color in the outer corners of your eyes to shape your eyes. Blend the colors well.

To brighten your eyes, you could apply a bit of shimmery shadow in the inner corners of your eyes.

2. Eyeliner application

You could select from pencil eyeliner and liquid eyeliner. Pencil eyeliner gives your eyes soft definition while liquid eyeliner helps you really emphasize your eye shape creating more dramatic look.

While applying eyeliner, draw the line as close to the lashes as possible.

Pencil eyeliners are easier to use. When applying eyeliner, hold the outer corner of your eye with the finger tip and drawing the line as close to the lashes as possible.

Liquid eyeliner application needs some practice. If you use liquid eyeliner, hold the outer corner of lid taut and apply the eyeliner using quick short strokes. Make sure that the brush used for applying eyeliner is thin.

3. Complete your look with mascara

Mascara is used to make the lashes look thicker and darker. Black mascara works well on almost everyone for most occasions but choosing mascara color, you should pay attention to the color of your natural lashes.

For more natural look, apply mascara on the outer tips of your lashes.

Winter makeup tips

2011-11-15T15:28:00.001-08:00

No need to set your foundation with powder. Try to stay away from powder foundations. You skin gets dry during the cold months so you don't want to have you makeup making it worst. Nothing more wrong then having a caked up and dry face. Love your liquid and cream foundations around this time of the year, they will be your best friend. This is also where cream blushes come into play.

MAC Finishing Mist

2011-11-11T04:35:00.001-08:00

Now if you have been following me or know me personally then you know I don't spend more then $15 on one item unless its a palette or something I really have to have. And MAC finishing mist ($26) was something I had to have. I didn't realize how important it was to me until I left it in Baltimore and I went a while without using it.

MAC finishing mist is an aqua-spritz of vitamin and minerals, infused with a calm-the-skin blend of green tea, chamomile, cucumber, topped off with the fresh, natural, energizing scent of Sugi. Adds radiance, finishes makeup.

I don't just use it to finish my makeup, I also spray my brush with it then apply LaFone Cosmetic's pigment (depending on the look I'm going for), or spray my foundation sponge or brush with it before applying a cream or stick foundation.

Why promote other cosmetic lines?

2011-10-23T05:11:00.001-07:00

Someone asked me "If your have or trying to start your own line then why promote other lines?"

I was waiting for someone to ask that! My reply was "You don't go to Burger King asking for a Big Mac!" Meaning ever product has a different use. Being a makeup artist you learn that there is NOT one cosmetic line that has everything you need. Here is another example, you may have a favorite brand of clothing but do you only just buy that brand or do u have all types in you closet because you like the style or fit of different brands.
My line's signature is glitter, I LOVE glitter and shimmer but you may not so my line may not be for you. Now I do have matte products for those who are not into shimmer but over all LaFone Cosmetics is about glits and glamour for a low price.

P.S. I ONLY PROMOTE BRANDS THAT PRICING IS $15 OR LESS. I don't believe in paying more then $15 on ONE item

Products for Natural Curly Hair

I get a lot of question about what to use in natural curly hair. People want moisture, nice texture, tangle free, a lot of movement to their hair and the brand of choice that always comes to mind is Mixed Chicks. Before I locked my daugter's hair up I search for something that will work for her hair texture. She has very fine, soft curls but its very dry. Someone told me about Mixed Chicks and I had never heard of it at the time. I order the kids products of their site www.mixedchicks.net and fell in love.

Back to Black and back to basics! What with the economy in the shape that it is in, there is a lot of emphasis on quality over quantity, timeless pieces in timeless colors that you will wear over and over again and look a million bucks each time. Look for shades of black, charcol, navy and classic prints

Hair is my 1st LOVE

2011-10-07T21:53:00.001-07:00

I blog about makeup a lot but being a hair stylist is what got me to the point that I'm in today. Started doing hair at the age of 10. I got tired of my father putting little braid and bobbles in my hair so I had to learn quick. Flat twist with a weave pontail was my favorite hairstyle. And back then everybody loved it and wanted the same thing. My father put together a mini salon in his basement just for fun. I did all the kids hair on the block. My 1st big client was my older sister who was in her 20s at the time. By the time I was 13 I was putting in a full glue-in weave. Makeup didn't come into play til 11 grade year of high school.

I have been sick for the last 4 days so I had to go to the doctors and get checked out. As I'm leaving there was a girl in the lobby with jewelry, makeup, and a few other thing for sale. So knowing me I hade to check out the eye shadows. For a little palette of 12 colors it was $1. She only had two different kind of palettes so I got both.

No Liner No Lashes

2011-10-06T03:22:00.001-07:00

When I posted this look on FaceBook yesterday someone asked me why don't I have on liner or lashes. I use to never leave my house without lashes on but lately I just haven't been in the mood for lashes. I'm loving the way my real lashes look now. As for liner, it depends on what look I'm going for and mood I'm in. My mother never uses liner, if she does its only the bottom water line. She says its for a "dramatic look" not for everyday. I love my liquid, gel, and pencil liner but yesterday I just wanted a soft look.

Black is Back with a Sew-In Weave

2011-10-05T17:03:00.001-07:00

If you have been following me then you know that the beginning of the summer I cut my hair ALL OFF and colored it blonde. I have been waiting and waiting for my hair to grow in so I can do a sew-in. I didn't want a glue cap, or lace front, or even a half wig. It was sooooo long since I've had a sew-in so I wanted one so bad.

After hair was done, it was time to play in makeup and girl! I was loving it!

Crazy dances

2011-10-04T14:45:00.001-07:00

So over the past weekend my nephew (white shorts) has a hotel party for his 13th bday. Him n his crew was doing all these different type of crazy dances that I have never heard of like Move Out My Way and Get Low. I guess I'm not watching enough BET or going to enough clubs because I'm lost and they look at me as the Young Fun Aunty. But I did enjoy watching them have a good time

I was in my local super market and I came across these cute little eye shadows and lip gloss in a IPod case. I had to get them for my daughter. They were only $2.99 for the pack of 3. Any makeup I buy for her I always open them to see how pigmented they are. If the colors are to bright I won't let her have them because she's only 10. She is going to love them

Milk of Magnesia (Great for oily skin)

2011-10-03T18:55:00.001-07:00

I know ur thinking it’s actually a digestive aid. Liquid milk of magnesia (about $6 for a 12-oz. bottle) is a suspension of magnesium hydroxide in water, given its name due to its milky white appearance, and its typical uses include soothing raucous stomach acids and easing constipation… Not quite the kind of thing you think about using near your face.

NO! Its great for the face. It soaks up all the oil in your face. Since I've begun using it my pores have all but disappeared. Its great to use under foundation on your oily areas.

Just rub a lil on your T Zone (Not to much), let dry, then apply your foundation.

COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Liquid

2011-10-03T18:36:00.001-07:00

If your looking for a light sheer coverage foundation then try the liquid foundation from Covergirl Queen Collection ($7). Its very light weight. But only problem is it doent last all day and its not made for people with oily skin. Now, if you do have oily skin and you know how to prep your skin then all means try it.

Revlon colorstay mineral finishing powder

2011-10-03T10:48:00.001-07:00

In a earlier post I mentioned Maybelline Dream Matte Powder was a similar to MAC Mineralize Skinfinsh. Well I take that back! The Dream Matte Powder is a great product but the closest you will get to MAC is Revlon Colorstay Mineral Finishing Powder. TAKE MY WORD ON THIS!!!!! Its about $12 depending on what drug store you get it from.

One Foundation Routine

2011-10-01T13:21:00.001-07:00

My biggest problem is that I'm always trying something new. Everyday is a different foundation routine depending on what mood I'm in. I might want to use my Milani cream to powder foundation or Ruby Kisses no more blemish liquid foundation, or my Covergirl Queen liquid foundation, or my all favorite Revlon colorstay liguid foundation. I have so many different type of foundations from liquid and powder and even cream to powder. But for everyday use from now on I'm going to stick with Revlon Colorstay.

NO NO NO NO! L.A. Color foundation

2011-10-01T13:13:00.001-07:00

So in my last post I explained how I purchased some L.A. Color products. Well I was pleased with everything but the liquid foundation. Now keep in mind I knew when I brought it that it was cheap and there was no way it would be a good all over full coverage foundation that's didn't rub off. I knew all of this already BUT I wanted to try it as a highlighter under my eyes, down my nose, and my cupid's bow. HELL NO! It blended in my skin like lotion. Couldn't even see it.

Family Dollar

2011-09-30T16:58:00.001-07:00

So I went in family dollar n came across some L.A. Colors Cosmetic products and a NYC lip stick. Now i always use L.A. Colors lip glosses and blushes.. But now they have brushes (So Soft) and something told me to try their lighter liquid foundation as a highlight. Also they have a press powder but the shade that caught my eye was more of a brown/pinky kind of color so I'm going to use it as a blush. REMEMBER NO MATTER WHAT PRODUCTS YOU BUY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE IT FOR WHAT ITS MADE FOR. I use eye shadows as blushes, bronzers as eye shadows. BE CREATIVE AND MIX AND MATCH!

The L.A. Colors blush has a lot of fall out and the NYC lip stick is nice and creamy but not that pigmented. Every item i brought was under $3.

Oh and another thing, I'm loving the Covergirl Queen collection press powder for everyday use with just concealer.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish

2011-09-28T11:36:00.001-07:00

So MAC Mineralize Skinfinish seems to be best for the job of applying after your liquid foundation to set you foundation or even just use by itself. I took it upon myself to search for a cheaper product that does the same or close to what MAC Mineralize Skinfinish ($27.00 at a MAC store) can do...
I normally use Ruby Kisses HD Setting Powder ($3.99 local beauty supply store) or Black Opal Oil Blotting Powder ($7.65 Walmart) but now I came across Maybelline Dream Matte Powder ($6.94 Walmart) and sofar it works just like the Skinfinish but it helps more with the oil on my face then the Skinfinish does.

Fusion Extentions

2011-09-24T05:54:00.001-07:00

Back when I was 19 my dad treated to fusion extentions and I was in love with it but my dad said it cost to much money for me to keep getting it done.

After Tammy from basketball wives had her extentions I had clients come to me wanted it done.. So I learned on my own. And that is my new thing now that my hair it growing back n its long enough to cover the glue nots.
