Faith

IMG_8046

Faith , I got to meet this wonderful amazing young girl a few weeks back. Faith got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and was only given 6 months to live. As a mother I can’t imagine what her mother has to go through on a daily basis. Everyday trying to give her what she needs to function. She decided to create a wish list, everything Faith wants to do before her young life is taken from her. One thing that she wanted to do was to get her hair and makeup done and do a photo shoot like a celebrity. I did her makeup, she wanted red lipstick like me. she was so cute! If you can help her reach some of the things on her wish list please visit her site here.

Camouflage Your Scars With Tattoos

scar3

scar1

I was doing some research on camouflaging scars and ran into this website. What a great idea! its so simple but yet no one has really done it and if you can see the before and after pictures, it really works. I’ve read in a few articles of both men and women that have  scars or pigmentation problems on their face that have gotten this done and it looks a hundred times better.

I have so many scars from when I was a child that I am now use to but I would consider camouflaging them, it looks great but what happens when you tan? I guess its better than a big white spot right?

How To Get Glowing Skin

lady art

In order to get a smooth, glowing, sun kissed look you got to use a few different blushes. I normally use about 3 different colors, a highlight, contour and blush with color. I start with the contour, a soft brown that will give your cheeks some definition, next blush on the apples of your cheek normally a peachy color, and finally a highlight on the high point of your cheek bones. Its makes a huge difference. Try it and let me know how it turns out.

Contour: soft brown to give cheeks definition (bone beige MAC)

Apples of cheek: a peachy color  (Melba or MArgin MAC) with or without shimmer (this depends on your skin tone)

Highlight: I like to use Vanilla Pigment from MAC
