This young woman was a manager at our salon. She was working and going to school. One day I used her for a spontaneous photo shoot. It is a wonderful gift to experience a woman realizing her own beauty. Not long after with her new sophisticated and professional look, it helped her gain confidence and she soon got a new job in marketing for a construction firm. The power of Transformation. What changes are happening in your life? Maybe I can help!
Michelangelo’s “Hall of Prisoners” were some of my favorite pieces of art in Europe. Commissioned by Pope Julius in 1505 for his tomb. However he died shortly after and due to funding and other projects it was never completed. Michelangelo was known for saying that he, “worked to liberate the forms imprisoned in the marble.”
I thought of this artwork recently because a client said to me after we did her hair and makeup for an event, “you love transformation.” And I would agree to some point yes, but I love to see the beauty of a person revealed.
This is a quote by Lena Dunham, 31, actress and pop culture activist: “Let’s get something straight: I didn’t hate what I looked like—I hated the culture that was telling me to hate it.” —Glamour, January 2017
What is your opinion of the the current view of women and their body image?
I really liked the suggestions of celebrity makeup artist, Aliana Lopez.
I have Hazel eyes and so do many people. When choosing shadows, go by the primary color, and the flecks inside.
Which eye shadow colors are good for BROWN EYES? Today, we are taking a look at brown eyes. Check back later for posts for an answer to the same question for hazel and blue eyes.
Notice how the model’s eyes are brighter on the inner and outer corner and just below the arch of the eyebrow? Use a highlighter after you apply your shadow for a more dimensional and brighter look
For an evening or glamour look, use a dark brown or dark purple shade in the waterline, the inside line above the lower lashes. They apply a soft shadow underneath as in the picture.
JEWEL TONES — borrowing from my blog on sparkly eyes and this article, colors like emerald, sapphire and here in the pic, burnt orange are fun. Debora’s tip: I would use these as special event colors as the model is. And unless you are comfortable with contouring, use them as accent colors.
PURPLES — lighter skin, lavender and mauve; darker skin, eggplant and plum. Debora’s tip: Some purples are warm and some are cool. If you have more hazel in your eye, warmer tones are better and if they are a solid color brown you are more likely to use the cooler shades.
GREYS — Some artists recommend grey shadows; but I must be honest … these are shades for younger women. We women who adorn laughter lines are also losing warm pigments in our hair and skin and this makes gray shades look harsh.
Most would not argue that George is handsome and has style for a man his age (see, isn’t this fun?) … so I like to use him as a great example for current trends in men’s grey blending and or coverage.
Notice TWO constants: the eyebrows are always colored and the hair at the temples always has some silver running through it.
Men over 50 are now going to get an unexpected taste of what we women go through! Gone are the days of the ugly Hugh Hefner’s (and others I won’t mention here); men must aspire to look good too! Georgey has to keep himself up for Amal! As with millennial’s, it is essential to keep current—to be relevant. Unfortunately this is no joke! One simple way is to be well-groomed and have a close-cut beard. And ladies, please help them out with eyebrows, nose and ear hair!!!
