FRESH LOOK FOR YOUR VALENTINE!
Feel sexy and beautiful with the right look for you.

Valentine's Day is only a day away! You probably already have the perfect dress, shoes and jewelry, but what about your makeup? Should you go with the all too famous smokey eyes? Or how about a perfectly highlighted cheek bone? Wait! What about the lips! It is Valentine's Day after all! 

This year, bold, matte lips are trending along side smokey eyes and contoured cheekbones, but wearing all three at once can be a bit overwhelming; so let's just stick to just one of them.

Matte lips not only give flawless definition, they also offer an extended wear time. What a perfect combination! Kissable soft, inviting lips and no need to constantly apply gloss which just loves to attract your hair and get caught in it anyway! 

Tarte cosmetics has an amazing line of Matte Lip Paint that is not only highly pigmented, but also offers an extensive shade choice. I personally love the extensive line because not everyone can use the same nude or red tone to match their complexion.

How to achieve the look:

1. Start by using a lip scrub to remove any dead skin and encourage blood flow to your lips. Tarte Cosmetics makes an amazing Maracuja Lip Exfoliant that is perfectly formulated to compliment an application of lip paint.
2. Once clean, pat dry and add a bit of your favorite chapstick or oil for extra moisture.
3. Apply your Tarte Lip Paint of choice and clean up the edges of the mouth with concealer.
4. Blend out the concealer and set with a translucent finishing powder.
5. For added dimension, add a little highlighter to your Cupid's bow and voila! A perfectly sculpted lip constructed to last until your kiss goodnight!

A Great Pairing... To Complete Your Look

Pair this look with a flawless complexion, winged liner and a pair of Ardell Wispies lashes and you will have a charming look for the perfect night out (or in!)

BOUDOIR PHOTO SHOOTS  

(PHOTO SESSION $250/includes beautiful make over & guided photo shoot)

Looking sexy in photos is less about your body type and more about 'feeling' sexy inside.  We all have it in us (some tucked away deeper than others) we just have to find that feeling...and bring it out.  Sexy doesn't happen in an instant... it's something we will help you prepare for weeks before your shoot.  It's about drinking water for clean vibrant skin, it's about finding wardrobe that flatters your figure (not hide it), it's about being pampered for a day... giving yourself 'A Day Off' to relax and let our Make Up artists & stylist create a beautiful look for you.  It's about trusting in your photographer to guide you to the right poses that flatter you most beautiful assets and fade away all those inhibitions.
