Essential Makeup & Hair Products

MAC Bronzing Powder in Matte Bronze: I found I use this product on almost every single job I have. I obviously use it for a bronzer but you can also use it for contouring on the face as well as a natural tone eyshadow. This shade is great because it works well on most skin types and has no shimmer in it which is great for photography.

Mirabella's Prime for the Face & Eyes: Although this is an exclusive product and can only be found in some salons and Distributor stores It's the best primer I have worked with. It smooths the skin on the face so your makeup goes on great and lasts all day! It also has lavender extract in it so it helps to calm down redness to the face. I use this on every single client and have heard rave reviews about it. Check out Mirabella's website to find out what salons near you carry it. http://www.mirabellabeauty.com/

Mystic Tan Face & Body Spray: This is an awesome product that achieves a great tan without harming your skin. Its really easy to use and can be found at Sephora. I use this on a lot of clients to add quick color! Its great because all you have to do it spray it on and it can be used anywhere with no streaks and you won't get that fake orange look (because I know we all HATE that).

Aquage Beyond Shine: This product I have found can be used for a lot of different things. First it's made to give the hair a nice natural shine (great for pictures) without looking or feeling oily. You can also use this and spray it on the body if you are looking to achieve that perfect sheen look. Last but not least, I know we have all at one time or another just put way too much hairspray in our clients hair. If this happens all you need to do is spray some beyond shine in and you will be able to get through the hair with ease. This is a Gods sent product for Hairstylists.

It's always exciting getting to work at these crazy fast paced events. I got the chance to style hair at this event on August 9. Fast dry hairstyling and long lines people were waiting in for over and hour and a half. It's always a fun challenge trying to do a hairstyle that fast and actually making it look good. Here is a picture of one of the many hairstyles I did that day
