On June 8th I flew out to Chicago to attend The Makeup Show at the Bridgeport Art Center for the very first time. For those who are unfamiliar, The Makeup Show is a traveling beauty event featuring key note speakers, demos, exhibitors, and networking for those in the beauty industry. Basically, it’s a makeup artists dream come true with companies giving discounts on products and being able to get up close and personal with celebrity artists.
Amy is Cara’s sister (in case you didn’t see the resemblance, what a gorgeous family!) from my last post (link found here) and also one of my favorite past brides. Below is info on products used to achieve this look.
Cara’s big day is quickly coming up and not only am I lucky enough to be her bridal makeup artist but I got to do her makeup for her bachelorette party as well. Below is info on products used to achieve this look.
Black eyeliner is one of those must-have beauty items for anyone who likes defining and bringing focus to their eyes. It’s a product that pretty much every brand carries but don’t be fooled into thinking they are all made equal. If you are on the market for a new favorite, here are my top three black eyeliners.
Danielle was one of my favorite brides from my 2012 season, she had SO much personality and really had fun with her makeup for her big day. Below is the look we came up with. Thanks for being a wonderful client, Danielle!

With Summer FINALLY here (for now) in Duluth I thought I would do a short post on a few of my all time favorite products for the sunny months.
The following is the description Too Faced gives for “Lash Injection” Mascara:
“Our best-selling, extreme-volumizing mascara for a dramatic, false-eyelash effect. Exclusive, waterproof, 3-D formula builds tubes around each lash that fatten and stretch lashes for the look of extensions without the cost or commitment.”

When deciding on a logo to represent my business, it didn’t take me long to settle on a peacock feather. I knew I wanted something different from the dated, predictable logos other makeup artist were using (lipstick prints, dramatic eyelashes, makeup brushes, etc.), I wanted something with a little more thought and story behind it.
