News: Five reasons my clients will love me... and you will too!

Over the years, my clients have told me the many different reasons why they love me... here’s the top five!

1. I specialize in bringing out the natural beauty in people from every ethnic background and creating exquisitely stunning makeup for every face. I can be counted on to come up with unique ideas and can always be relied on to be constant in the quality of my applications.

2. I always arrive on time, set up quickly, bring all my equipment and keep my kit neat, clean and organized.

3. I attended one of the best makeup artistry schools and that gives me a perspective that some others in my industry might not have. I have extensive experience in my field and I have worked on numerous commercial, editorial and catalog shoots, weddings and other occasions.

4. I am easy going and can remain calm in stressful situations. I love making my clients feel comfortable, making the best of long hours and talking and laughing with my clients.

5. The products that I use are formulated to last and look great on camera. Many of them are used on HD film and television sets and my education and experience has thought me how to pick out and use the best products for every job.

Photo Shoot: Its great to be a hippie chick when you're dressed in hippie chic!

What do you get when you combine photographer Jean-Philippe Martin, hair stylist Jeni Hoover, wardrobe stylist C.LO, models Rae and Summer and of course myself on makeup, for the BuyDefinition.com lookbook shoot?

Some amazing pictures and lots and lots of fun!!!

We shot at the home of Lee Ann Atherton, an amazing local musician. Lee Ann hosts the Full Moon Barn Dance on occasional full moon Sundays and some holiday Sundays at her home. Her house and yard are full of gifts from each and every Full Moon Barn Dance making it an amazing place to shoot!

Great job team!

Photo Shoot: Smokey eye and a nude lip at bull creek

Yesterday I had a shoot with NYC photographer Corey Hayes and Austin model Cecilia Z down at Bull Creek. Lauren, my intern, also came along to assist me.

We started out the shoot by meeting at my studio/house so I could do Cici's makeup. We chose a smokey eye and a nude lip that really accentuated her beautiful features!

Then we all headed down to Bull Creek by car and then by foot. It was a little chilly but the scenery was beautiful and we really enjoyed our walk.

Corey had already scouted out a great location with many different and wonderful places to shoot.

I must say, Cici was a real trooper because she didn't have the luxury of the long pants and jackets we did and the last shot required her to be in the water! It’s the mark of a great model when she will do anything for an amazing shot and we had plenty of towels on hand for her afterward.

The result, I'm sure, will be nothing less than outstanding and I really had a great time with all involved!
