B-Shots: A Day of Beauty
I did some beauty shots for several ladies this past week and I loved them so much I thought I'd share :)
I'm starting to really understand my makeup style: pretty, soft, sultry stuff. It's great to stand back and notice consistencies of things that come across in photos. That's how I access what works for me and what I need to work on. Enjoy! (photography by Laretta Houston)

Brow Beat: How To Fill In Brows
Hey everyone, I've been asked a few times about how to fill in brows while letting them look more natural. Well I did a video on how I fill in my brows. In this video I used the following:
1) Maybelline Brow Definer in medium brown
2) Concealer brush (or you can use angled brow brush)
3) MAC concealer in NC42 (use whatever shade concealer that you use under your eyes)
Check out the video and let me know what you think!
Have a POSH, PRETTY day!

Your V-Day Makeup Style
When it comes to Valentine's Day, its all about attracting that special person to your best features. Here are a few tips to draw them near:
Pucker up: Use a lipstick that won't kiss off easily. Also use a product that hydrates the lips. You want your lips to appear soft and kissable.
Eye Contact: Draw them in with your eyes. Use hues that compliment your eye color. Also lightly rimming eyes with a grey or dark brown pencil may help to bring out your eye color.
Make Me Blush: Try a peachy or soft pink shade that will compliment your lip color.
Tempted to Touch: Soft, refreshed skin is the key. Shea butter is your friend. It doesn't leave a greasy residue, yet it gives off a nice sheen.
Brow Down: Don't go bold on the brows. Have them clean, but not dark and heavy.
Light As a Feather: You can add a little drama to the eyes or go for a bolder lip, but try not to overdo it. Avoid exaggerations and go lighter.
Bat Those Lashes: Not heavy, dramatic lashes, but fun and flirty lashes with more emphasis on outer corners.
Try one of these V-Day Looks:
Romantic: pastel shimmers in eyes, rosy/peach cheeks, pink/peach lips
Seductive: Rimmed eyes, red lips
Sultry: smokey eyes, glossed lips
