Keri Hilson looked gorgeous, as always, for a Pre-Oscar party hosted by Okay Magazine held at Beso Restaurant. I (Alana Dawn) did her makeup for this event and Maisha Oliver, Keri’s hair stylist, did a great job with her hair (I love the bangs).

Camouflage Your Scars With Tattoos

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

Grammy Day

Yesterday I got asked to do Trey Songz mom’s makeup, I felt honored to do her makeup for the Grammy’s. Its weird how God really talks to you, and lets you know that you are on the right path. Makeup is my passion but sometimes it is slow and I think maybe I should try to do something else, then I ask him to give me a sign. Well… Yesterday he did. I ended up having to meet April, Trey Songz mom at a salon instead of the Hotel. When I walked in Keri Hilson was getting her  hair done by Maisha Oliver. BTW I am a big fan, she is so sweet, and so beautiful. Well because I had to meet her at the salon I got to meet Keri and her people, and they asked me to go to her Hotel to do her moms and sisters makeup for the Grammy’s, words can’t express how I felt at that moment. Im so sad that she didn’t win but being nominated for a Grammy is already huge accomplishment in life.

I ran across this beautiful ring here, but not only do I like the ring, I love the concept of the photo. Normally you see beautiful models wearing jewelry for their ads but they made this photo stand out by using black matte nail polish, and black paint around the fingers and palms. I LOVE IT!
