Disco Ball

Although we didn't go out, I still had some fun on New Year's Eve. Everyone who knows me will tell you I'll use any excuse I can to wear glitter. Why not on December 31st, in our living room? Here are some fun shots of my eye-balls from the eve of 2012.

Gold Icon Look Video

Hi Bloggers! This is the companion video to my Gold Icon Look. I'm working on getting an HD video camera, so my apologies if it's not top notch quality. Enjoy... and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!

                    

Ok, Chantal is going to kill me for posting it, but I really don't care. The image on the right is a look from Makeup For Ever. I recreated it on my favorite guinea pig, my little sis. I also call this look "Pretty Cholla" ;)

Armenian Mermaid

Happy Halloween! I hope everyone had a fun weekend. I am EXHAUSTED. And in the next couple of days as I post blogs, you will see why. Friday and Saturday were full of appointments, but they were well worth it. I actually stayed in Sunday, the 31st because I was officially out of steam! This year, I decided to go with the mermaid costume, but I wanted to be my OWN kind of mermaid, not your typical Ariel. I made fish scales on my chest, shoulders and face using fishnets stockings as a stencil. I wanted to look "wet" so I used tons of Light Green Glitter by MAC (only in Pro stores, click HERE to find one near you) You will notice that I took these photos before I put on my lipstick and gloss, but there's a reason for that: I needed to eat a slice of pizza! LOL So please forgive me for my half-done lips...

Bridesmaid Beauties

This bridesmaid and Maid of Honor just needed their eyes done at a recent wedding. Their dresses were eggplant, so I did pinks and deep plums on Serena (L) and a smoky plum eye on Kat (R). Topped both off with lashes, of course. :)

Gypsy

Just having some fun with Sis one night and came up with this look. She's always been my happy little guinea pig, so when i asked if I could do her eyes at midnight last night, she didn't bat a fake eyelash. I love her eyes, and they are so much fun to do makeup on. After showing our great-grandma this pic, she said that it reminded her "of the gypsies that would knock on our doors in Lebanon selling cheese and milk." So Gypsy is what I'll call this. :)

*Mask part was done using MAC's Liquidlast liners, Chromacake and Copper Glitter.

Black & Bling 40th Bday Bash

Last weekend, I had the lovely opportunity to do makeup for Connie's 40th birthday party. The birthday girl's theme was "Black & Bling" - everyone wore black with big gaudy jewelry and trinkets. This look was created with Studio Fix Fluid Foundation (the LOVE of my life).

Eyes were created using MAC's Fluidline in Macroviolet as a base, Brule and Vanilla pigment on the browbone, Copper Metal pigment and Intoxicate eyeshadows on the lid and crease. I added some glam lashes inspired by old Hollywood starlets.
