E.L.F. Cosmetics double ended mascara.. Its 2 for the price of one.. One end is a regular liquid flex mascara and the other end is waterproof.. Perfect for next week when my wedding season starts.. I never spend a lot of money on mascara either because they only last for three months anyway and most of my clients gets false eyelashes.
And the duo cream based eyeshadow can be worn alone or as an eyeshadow base for long wearing and to make colors pop.. shop Eyeslipsface.com or can be found at Target

OCC Lip Tars.. Must have for makeup artists in their kits.. There is every shade imaginable and If you good at color theory you can mix and create you own shade.. These are useful for me when I’m creating looks for theatre or photo shoots… They last long under the hot stage lights and give an opaque finish and can be topped off with a sheer or matching gloss.. 100% vegan

One of my favorite makeup clients Book Author and Entrepreneur Michelle McAllister.. Some of her many events I’ve done makeup for.. From book signing to parties to college and theatre speaking events…

Spring 2012 Trend Run-down #1: Red Lips!
[Photo source: elle.com]

Seen at Anna Sui, Dior, Jason Wu, John Paul Gaultier, Temperley London and YSL, lips were a true scarlet (neither blue nor orange) and the standout texture for a true-true red was matte, though there were some creamy finishes as well.
Red is not really hard to wear. In fact it can be incredibly flattering if you make sure to even out your skin, apply just a touch of light blush, and go easy on the rest of your makeup.
