I heart my job...

Even after working in the makeup industry for years,i still get super excited from the mo i get asked to do makeup for a photo shoot no matter how big are small the new project is.I no exactly how to plan the event but yet for the first 5 min after ive been asked to join a team for a shoot my head goes 100 miles per hour researching for ideas both for makeup and styling and contemplating the final result.The feelings from those first 5 min of that butterfly feeling of excitement is a huge thing to me it genuinely lets me no im doing something i really love.So im sitting here worrying and wondering bout my up coming shoot will i do a great job cos a good job wont do it has to be great...no pressure of course from anyone but myself lol but ive learnt that my nerves are the best emotions any makeup artist can have cos it proves how much we care,we get nervous because we care so much about our craft,clients and our careers.So i guess i feel confident that my excitement,nerves and  belly full of butterflies before any days work is a good indication that im doing what i love.check out a view of my past shoots below :-)

Ooh la la...rocking haaaawt lips!!!



MWAH....shimmering...glitt​ering lips.. : YLS gloss is a must have in every girls purse at the start for the wkend...your pout will sparkle,shimmer and glitter this ladies is alittle piece of magic that no snazzy girl on the town should be without :-D J'adore mwah...xxx

The lips are without a doubt, the most sensual part of the female face.


imperfections


How to correct thin lips
Line the contour of the lip with a pencil in a similar shade to that of the natural lip. Try to draw the line outside of the natural edge. Fill the entire lip with the same liner to avoid leaving an outline.Then apply lipstick with the help of a synthetic bristle brush, or, if you prefer, a clear gloss. 


How to correct very full lips

After applying lip balm and removing excess, blend a small amount of foundation onto the contour of the lips. Next, set this with translucent powder. Line inside the true lips to disguise their size. Finally, fill in the lips and apply lipstick or lip gloss.


 What shades to use to make teeth appear whiter

If your teeth aren't very white, avoid shades with orange-ish or yellow-ish pigmentation. Opt for natural colors that are in the berry or pink families. That way you will be able to diminish the yellowish color.



PROFESIONAL SECRET
Wine or burgundy tones will make your teeth appear whiter. Try it out with wineliner, by MAC Cosmetics

J'adore...
