Model Willy Monfret Holiday Photo Shoot w/ The Source Magazine

I had the pleasure of being apart of The Source Magazine's Holiday photo shoot with French Model Willy Monfret. You can also catch Willy recently featured as the leading man in Nicki Minaj's "Right Thru Me" video.

These are my own behind-the-scenes photos:

 

 

Chic & Conservative!

I put on my funky reading glasses to complete the look! ;P

Here's what I used:

Eyes: I used Too Faced Natural Eye Collection Box using "Honey Pot" on lid to crease, then from outter lid to middle of the lid I used a darker shade "Push-Up".

On the crease I used "Cocoa Puff" and blended upwards toward brow. To highlight my underneath my brow and inner corner of my eyes I used "Heaven".

I used Elf''s black liquid eye liner for the cat eye look and added some false eye lashes for a bit of flair.

Lips: I used Kat Von D's "Underage Red" from her Painted Love Lipstick collection.

SMILE! ;)

NOH8 Campaign Photo Shoot!

I was so glad to be apart of the NOH8 Campaign photo shoot that took place in Hoboken, NJ. A group of my girlfriends and I were among hundreds lined up to be apart of the great cause!

These are pics I took at home but I can't wait to see the professional photo shot by the very talented Adam Bouska! ;)

The Cat's Outta The Bag! ;)

I had lots of fun doing this halloween look as a Cat. I was just browsing through different makeup looks online and thought I'd give it a try. It kind of reminds me of the Broadway show "CATS" that I never had the chance to see actually... =( I managed to re-live the whole experience in my own head with the pics below...LOL ;P Enjoy!

Here I am with my chunky monkey of a nephew.

Glad he wasn't scared of his AunTEE! =)



Love my RED LIPS!

I love to rock the red lip for a more bold "come hither" statement. ;P

I used the following:

MAC Red with L'Oreal's Infallible Plumping Lip Gloss in color "Pumped Red" =)

"DARE TO BE BOLD!" ;)

80's Inspired Makeup for Music Video

I recently wrapped up a Music Video shoot with my team "The Skyscraperz" for music artists (Skematics & CVT) for their video "Get Butt Naked". Sounds fun doesn't it?! LOL It's a great dance/club song that will definitely get your body moving! We were going for an 80's retro feel all around so this is my makeup inspiration below:

Models with Rapper Skematics

Luckily, I had a beautiful canvas to work on with each model.

That was easy! ;)
