Hollywood Glam

I had the opportunity to do Cora's makeup a few weeks ago. First of all, she is as sweet as she is stunning and so photogenic....seriously, she should be a model! We discussed doing a red lip and I was originally thinking a more bold contemporary look, but as I was doing her makeup I decided to tone everything else down and let the red lip have it's moment. I am so glad I did because it is turned out to be very 1940's! I think she looks like Ava Gardner.

My Everyday Makeup

My everyday makeup is pretty simple. These are my favorite everyday makeup products.

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer- I feel like my foundation lasts longer with this, especially in Texas weather so I never skip this.

Revlon Photo Ready Airbrush Foundation in 040 Natural Beige- I hate using my expensive stuff for everyday and this stuff works great, but also photographs well if that ends up happening in my day.

Nars Laguna Bronzer and Orgasm Blush- I love this combination. It is so summery and subtle, if I want something a little more pink I will use Pale Pink Blush by Bobbi Brown

MAC Face Kit By Rebecca Moses Eyeshadows- I use Orb over my whole lid and then run a mixture of Smoked Sepia and Show Stopper through the crease and bend it out a little. I line my top lid with Cover Girl Basic Black eye liner and then using a MAC 219 brush I place Show Stopper shadow over the eyeliner to soften it.

Benefit Brows-a-go-go- I love this brow kit and use it for both every day and special days.

Mac Myth Lipstick- I line my lips with Cover Girl eye liner in Taupe and then use my Myth lipstick...sometimes I add a nude lip gloss.
