1. Arrive Early or On Time/ Models can be notorious for showing up to a job late, guess what ladies/gents its not fashionable or cute...its unprofessional! Whether its a big name or unknown, paid job or trade, someone other than yourself has invested time and money into taking your pictures...respect that. Besides, you never know who knows who, who can refer whom and who can give a bad reference. <br />

<strong><u>No Joke, Bathe:</u></strong><br />
<br />
2. Clean Face/Hair/Nails.....Mouth/Body- Ok I know most of you are like ummmmm, yeah that should go without saying...trust me it doesn't! The cleanliness factor goes along way with your beauty & style team. Not only does it give an impression of your level of professionalism (new faces take note), it also makes the job faster for us and less daunting for you. Photographers, that means you guys get more shoot time....ya see a win win for all!<br />

<strong><u>T.E.A.M.:</u></strong><br />
<br />
3. My cheerleading coach used bang into our heads "We are a T.E.A.M., Together Everyone Achieves More!" - cheesy right? But true!<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
A make up artist needs a face, a stylist needs a body just as photographer needs a subject to shoot. You my dear models need us to form you into a fabulous work of art, but you must be willing to put in the work just like the rest. That means putting down the phone, keeping conversation to a minimum and controlling your urge to look at and touch everything around you. Its an experience and a half prepping for a shoot or show and we all want to enjoy it....guess what, the faster we finish the more you get to take in! Think about it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

4. Having a carefree, easy spirited attitude when approaching a new job is one of the BEST accessories you can carry. I know some of you fresh faces may be apprehensive and some of you pro's may think you know it all, but remember this - BREATHE! Before you walk in front of that camera inhale & exhale, let go of whatever you have racing through your mind and focus on the direction you need to for the job! If it's happening on the inside, it resonates outside. Your eyes, lips, skin color change from emotions and that takes part in what is captured by the camera. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Be Thankful:</u></strong><br />
<br />
5. So the show is over, the shoot has wrapped and all you want to do is go grab a kale salad and venti unsweetened whatever - before you bolt, take 5 minutes to say a sincere...I repeat sincere thank you to your team. You've made an impression on them for the time of the job now the question is will it last in a favorable manor? That's all on you! Snatching a card and walking away is a huge no-no. Try quick handshake with 'thanks for your time' or 'it was lovely working with you'...you get the idea...these little things are what shape your character for referrals and most importantly more work!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
These were my top 5 pieces of advice for new models. There will be much more you'll see sprinkled through out the remainder of the series. Everything we as individual artist do affects the entire project, and we all have a common goal....making it the best a client has ever seen! </div>

Autumn is upon us and its time to start making transitions in all things. Sandals to boots, flowey tops to chunky sweaters and of course setting aside that tinted moisturizer that took you through the summer heat for its much more sophisticated sister - foundation!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I always begin my foundation with a clean & moisturized face. Since I have very oily skin I skip the lotions and face cream before applying my makeup. Instead I use pure rose water. This tones and adds light moisture to my skin which is ideal. I follow with my primer of choice then it's makeup time. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
First I start with Alcone At Home concealer by DermaColor in #5. Using the AAH concealer brush I lightly stroke the concealer under my eye area and in between my brows in an upwards motion. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.alconeathome.com/membertoolsdotnet/shoppingcartnew/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17992&CatalogueID=208&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=74.76&ReferringDealerID=813390" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj2yS1vywzDoWTROz3XRH4lmNeInIkw02uVsmG83_TjCGpuqreDqM-uJidOKdtzPGkqi14Bh_9L_7dl6d_-cCBzG1hkd0Ld_pMPt1RJOKpoj1-s3tykCspVvhtAdlHT_MMsY-N61uXop0/s1600/concealerfive375.jpg" height="295" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Next I blend my AAH concealer lightly with my index finger under my eyes, pulling slightly down to the outer edges of my nose. I also blend out the concealer between my eyebrows up towards my forehead and down the bridge of my nose. This highlights my face so my under eyes are brighter and my nose a bit sharper. <br />
<br />
Using AAH foundation by RCMA in MB6 and the Alcone foundation brush I lightly apply to the remainder of my face and blend out with wither my fingers or a wet Alcone sponge (sheerer coverage). This foundation is mineral oil free and perfect for my oily skin. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.alconeathome.com/membertoolsdotnet/shoppingcartnew/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17979&CatalogueID=208&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=74.76&ReferringDealerID=813390" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGrKbQQpkC5k9xQtq8OIUqBRwBn3ucPBai4DBocfX5bYuhj_TKBM-vi0b-EpyWMQBcfg2F1ZC5ABTIKrZ4gTrAS1VzaLIZPY3HY-AOjSS1Lytad1mFmRYZH1foztb8UbFSGrClsbyjuLg/s1600/foundation.jpg" height="164" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
I follow up with light contouring under my cheek bones and on the sides of my nose. Blending out the harsh lines is key to making your contouring look natural. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Once all is done, I do a slight dusting with my AAH invisible <a href="https://www.alconeathome.com/membertoolsdotnet/shoppingcartnew/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17924&CatalogueID=208&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=74.76&ReferringDealerID=813390" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Perfect Pressed Powder</a> and I have a trusty 10hr<strong>+</strong> no fail foundation application!<br />

Bold monochromatic (yes, it's all about one color...take note) eyes in browns and taupes had me overjoyed. Not to mention the raspberry bold lips....LOVE!!!! Eyebrows were pronounced, definitely couldn't miss them. </div>

Lets start with the face, a demi-matte look can be achieved with the Alcone at Home foundation that best suits you, along with the AAH foundation brush. Use downward strokes to achieve this finish with good coverage. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Bold yet wearable eyebrows are simple. Opt for a color about 2 shades lighter than your hair color. For myself I'd choose AAH eyeshadow # 8 . With the Alcone slanted liner brush start at the arch and apply short strokes of color building as you go. Once you've tackle the end move your strokes gradually from the middle of the brow to the beginning in the direction of the tail....got it?!? Trust me its simple. </div>

Now those gorgeous lips!!! To achieve that perfect deep berry opt for the Alcone Girls Night Out palette. Apply #6 all over lips as your base. Mix #'s 4 & 5 to achieve your perfect deep berry. Last line the outer portion of your lips in #5 only and blend towards the center.</div>

Simple, dewey and fresh faced. Monochromatic soft eyes in peaches and rose. The cheeks followed suit but gave each model that flushed/freshly pinched appeal. For the lips, the models sported a bit more color but stayed true to the tones. They had a slight matte effect but not overly done. In other words you can rip this look straight from the catwalk to the street. It's <i>that </i>wearer friendly. </div><div><br></div><div>Here's a look at one of the Desigual models backstage. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv8xMyX1iHwklzvBYcIzP63T-tU6JLmTHk8dsJ_L60d4UMRv9lXWgQn9EiX71lrOmWc_tNBb9D3nbZUOJpaQq58cKuKoZ-OIXyofUI5T1HfkG7Z9aPwQsDmioNjMcvoWx6X-_5zoAKHeY/s640/blogger-image--1742218403.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv8xMyX1iHwklzvBYcIzP63T-tU6JLmTHk8dsJ_L60d4UMRv9lXWgQn9EiX71lrOmWc_tNBb9D3nbZUOJpaQq58cKuKoZ-OIXyofUI5T1HfkG7Z9aPwQsDmioNjMcvoWx6X-_5zoAKHeY/s640/blogger-image--1742218403.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Acheive this flawless look with some of my favs from Alcone At Home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Face- mix Embryolisee Lait Creme Concentre with the AAH foundation shade that best suits you</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Eye- reach for blush #3 (yes blush) and sweep across your lids.

With all the advice and suggestions I give to clients I've come to realize I'm horrible at sticking to my much valued words. I normally put my mind at ease by convincing myself I'm too busy or just don't have the time. I'm well aware of the many wasted hours I spend crushing addictive candy or trying to figure out truths from 4 pretty liars. That precious time could be put to great use, so from here on out I'm making a change...time to start actively practicing what I preach!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I fly out to do makeup for part 2 of a fabulous desi wedding. The flight isn't major so I thought 'meh, no harm doing my makeup prior to right?!?' - WRONG! That small flight is prime time for me to throw on a face mask and relax my mind before the festivities began. I think I might finally break down and try this Snail Collagen Filler one!!!!! <br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: xx-small;"><strong>Found this and other gems at my favorite local Korean beauty store.</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This particular mask is by Leaders Clinic - a company run by some of the top clinical experts in Korea and has a two step system. Step one which is an Ampoule Booster and helps with the absorption rate of the mask. Step 2 is the mask itself which contains a special formula that aides in improving elasticity which has been damaged by the environment. The filler system contains elasticity building ingredients such as snail mucus components, marin collagen, and coenzyme Q10 that helps in restoring suppleness and firmness to the skin.</div>

I've been avoiding trying this out (ya know the eek factor with snails and all), but I'm actually super excited to see how well it works. And I'll definitely be following the steps I shared with <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6ujb_On_uI&list=PL7q1xbT2dzU8RdgyXD9RIDSJY6A0wkV0g&index=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mickela Mallozzi of Travel Bare Feet</a> during our Travel Beauty Tips segment on her YouTube channel.

But, good news....I'M BACKKKKK....and I've got some terrific new posts coming your way, so lets jump right in. <br />
<br />
As you can tell from the title this will be about what I consider to be some essentials for smooth transitions between the summer to autumn seasons. And lucky for you they can all be found in one place - <a href="https://www.alconeathome.com/membertoolsdotnet/shoppingcartnew/MainCart.aspx?PartyID=-1&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=813390" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Alcone at Home</a>.<br />

<strong>Quality but compact brushes</strong> - So yeah, I know you're already like huh?? But lets be honest with ourselves here...September is the real woman's New Year....and we get super busy. Whether its rejoining that pilates class we neglected during the summer, falling back into real work mode after all the vacations taken, toting the kiddies off to school or flaunting the new yet oh so fab autumn wardrobe (we all know the best clothes are sported during this season), we are BUSY! And this is where the brushes come in. Having a set of high quality bushes that can take care of every part of your face and fit snuggly in a gym or that new Gherardini is priceless.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.alconeathome.com/membertoolsdotnet/ShoppingCartNew/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17991&CatalogueID=208&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=74.76&ReferringDealerID=813390" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Favorite Brush Set</a> from Alcone at Home is a perfect choice. At first glance you see 4, but realize you have 8 professional grade brushes in a handy little waterproof chocolate toned case....just too cute!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You get a powder brush, an angled powder brush, a blush brush, a concealer/foundation brush, a shadow brush, a liner brush, an angled liner brush, and a lip brush with this set and they are a dream to use. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Gorgeous lips </strong>are a must for any season, but seriously I've done soo many shades of nudes, bright purples and pinks that I feel the need to pack away the summer fun and pull out the autumn siren! <br />
<br />
The <a href="https://www.alconeathome.com/membertoolsdotnet/ShoppingCartNew/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=18070&CatalogueID=208&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=74.76&ReferringDealerID=813390" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Fired Up Lip Palette</strong></a><strong> </strong>will take you from the beach babe to runway glam in no time! Fall lines are being previewed all over the world and reds are definitely the lip look you'll want! Trust me, if designers are requesting it you're going to want that feisty pout as well. This Alcone at home lip palette comes with three beautiful and creamy shades for you to choose from. Use them alone, mix and match...make it your own, then rock it out! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The magnetic palette also comes equipped with a mirror and mini lip & shadow brush.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Eyes to die for </strong>are a no brainer during the fall season. The weather is getting cooler, the leaves are falling and your smoldering stare will be turning heads. <br />
<br />
The <a href="https://www.alconeathome.com/membertoolsdotnet/ShoppingCartNew/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=18079&CatalogueID=208&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=74.76&ReferringDealerID=813390" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>9-Shade Must-Have Eyeshadow Palette</strong></a><strong> </strong>is exactly what you'll need to get the perfect eye with every try! From shimmer to matte, highlighting to smoked out and everything in between this palette is hands down a MUST HAVE. Monochromatic is trending for fall and these highly pigmented shades would be perfect alone or in a myriad of different combos. <br />

Hello my dearest darlings! I know its been awhile but yours truely has been mega busy...as of now I'm seriously considering seeking out an assistant. But in the meantime I had to reconnect, and let you know what I've been up to and give a warm thanks to my lovely readers for their continued support. Listed below are a few things I have been working on just for you guys: <br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Website:</b></div>

Casting calls were held here in NYC last week and I can't wait to see who I'll be working with. I can't say much about the concept just yet but keep in mind ZOMBIES!! The revolution of the mind is undead :) <br />
<br /></div>

For a new business this was HUGE! Not only did I get to meet the CEO & Founder of Bloom (who is an absolute doll), but also some other fabulous startup folks in the beauty and fashion industry.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>FD:</b> Hi darling! Its my pleasure! It made me so happy to know that people would be interested in getting to know more about me! I was interested in beauty from a young age. My sister is a few years older than I am so I would always go play in her make up when I was younger and wear her lipstick ALL wrong.. and by all wrong I mean Id have clown lips haha all throughout my childhood I was known for wearing my make up all wrong but hey.. I was learning and I thought I looked cute! As I was finishing high school I was in the dilemma of "what do I LOVE to do and what do I want to make a career out of" and the only thing that came to mind was make up. I live and breathe make up! So out of high school, I went to the School of Make Up Art in downtown Toronto and graduated with honours in Make up Artistry and then a year down the road, I moved to New York to go school at Aveda for Cosmetology. I found that freelancing just wasn't for me and at the end of the day, all I would do is teach people how I did a certain look.. so one day I was just browsing the internet and found some videos on YouTube and thought HEY I NEEEEED to do this!!! So I grabbed my camera and have been in LOVE with it since then and now here I am! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b> </b>Hands down.. all the positive comments I get from women around the world telling me how I've changed their lives for the better and how I've made them feel better about themselves! Words cannot express how warm my heart feels when I get emails from women saying I've helped boost their self esteem and how I've helped them feel confident in themselves! That has got to be the most rewarding part of it all! A lot of us tend to forget that were all beautiful in our own way!</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><b>As a fan, I've noticed you take a more natural approach to beauty treatments you recommend and often give tutorials of how we as viewers can achieve these treatments at home ourselves. What makes this approach more attractive to you as opposed to purchasing the new "it" product to use and/or review?</b></span></div>

</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I have been a sucker to trying the new "it" product and I still am.. but at the end of the day I found all it did was empty my wallet and it did nothing for my hair or skin. After wasting my money on new products, I always found myself going back to the natural treatments that my mom and grandmother taught me and the best part about them is that they're much cheaper! I mean its great that using a natural alternative is much cheaper, but as I've been getting older, its been scaring me all the chemicals that we put in and on our bodies on a daily basis.. ya the product might work great but we don't know what its doing to our bodies in the long run.. so that's why I like a more natural approach to skin and hair care. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> My personal routine changes all the time because I get so bored and excited with new things all the time. I get requests all the time for a skincare routine but because I'm constantly reading up on natural ways to treat a certain skin issue, I try a new thing out probably every week! I haven't found anything that I'm in love with as of yet, except for the turmeric mask that I showed in a video. That is my HOLY GRAIL when all else fails for me.. that's my mask right thereeeee!!! No matter what season, I always fall back on that mask!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> I do find that sometimes I get so caught up in life that I need to step back and take a look at what's missing and what harm its doing to me! I thank god for my supportive husband and sister who are always there to catch me when I'm slipping! My sister is always there to cheer me up and give me encouragement when I'm feeling worn out and I LOVE her for that! She's my best friend! And at the end of every night, my husband and I always talk before going to bed about our day and what we've been doing so that really helps me vent, clear my thoughts and get my focus back.</span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><b> Growing up, most little girls have an ideal image of what beautiful is. Whether through dolls, fairy-tales or movies we were often presented rigid views of what a beautiful woman should look like. Who (character wise) did you look to as beautiful growing up? </b></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This is so funny because growing up.. I wasn't your normal little girl! I always hung out with my brother and my dad so I was more of a tom boy and wasn't really into the whole dolls and fairy tale princesses.. but I could tell you the name of every exotic car I saw at the auto show! I can honestly say though, growing up the person I thought that was most beautiful was my grandmother and I always looked up to her and wished I can grow up to be just like her. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12px;">Now, setting aside the notion of beauty only being on the outside, what do you truly feel makes a woman beautiful?</b><br />
<b style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12px;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Setting the notion of beauty aside however, I think the one thing that can make a woman beautiful is her ability to love and show kindness and humility. I feel like as the days go by, the "world" forgets that at the end of the day, were all human beings, we all have one beating heart, and regardless of looks, race, age etc etc.. it beats the same. I find that its really easy for people to attack and judge each other (I see this all the time from being on YouTube) so when I see a woman show kindness and love and just paying it forward, I think that's the most beautiful thing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> Haha I didn't even know this question was coming but I answered it in my previous answer… I'll elaborate more on it! Throughout my life I've admired my grandmother (my moms mom). She's one person who has had "the short end of the stick" all throughout her life. I mean the struggles that she has been through, I can't even imagine myself getting past them… and she got through them with a smile and never lost faith or hope. She is the reason for me being me. Throughout my life she has always been there for me, teaching me about life and about love. She always taught me that life isn't about the material things, but about having faith in god and loving one another. Regardless of what I did, she always encouraged me to be myself and to not care about other people's opinions of me, because at the end of the day, life is just about being happy. I felt so lost when she passed away and not a single day goes by that I don't think about her.. I miss her like crazy! </span></div>

Hmmm top 5 make up products.. Its hard to choose.. BUT.. Foundation: Chanel Perfection Lumiere, Highlight: Josie Maran Argan Illuminzer, Mascara: Loreal Voluminous, Lip Balm: Jack Black Lip Balm..

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;"> Become An Illusionist </span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having a the look of bigger eyes can make a face very appealing. A few small steps can take a simple look and amp it of knock-out!
Once you've competed your shadow, follow these simple steps to boost your overall eye look [Don't wear shadow everyday? Try it anyway, still works wonders]: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> 1. </b>Eyeliner can be a friend or foe. For an every day doe eyed look, skip lining the entire lid. Use liner on the top from the outer corner to the middle (less is definitely more in this case, stop at the middle) of you upper lash line. Slim the line as you go, so your end result will be thicker on the outer corner and fade down. Follow by lining the bottom waterline from the outer corner into 1/4 to 1/2 of the lash line (use your discretion, it all depends on what you like so play with it). Once you've line the bottom waterline, squeeze your eye shut for a few seconds, this will transfer liner to the upper water line and give the base of your lashes a darker appearance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> 2. </b>Follow with mascara. Start with the lower lashes, many of us look past this step but a little mascara on the bottom lash really helps when you want a full open eye. Move to the upper lashes, starting with curling the lashes (if needed) to open your eye even more. Begin applying mascara at the base and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle up. Remember to catch the inner lashes, and sweep the outer lashes outwards. This will fan out your lashes. Do a quick sweep over the top of the lashes as well, distributing color to the lash tips and covering and possible fall out from shadow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> 3. </b>Finally, use a highlighter, sparkle or just brighter shadow in the inner corner of you eye. Pull it across the bottom lash line slightly, I'd say about 1/4 towards the center. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> 4. </b>Try to pull your gorgeous self away from the mirror...it'll be hard, but you can do it ~_^<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> <u>Product Suggestions </u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> *</b>Clio Gelpresso Brown waterproof liner is dark but soft, try it you'll like it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Best bet to find is in a Korean cosmetics store $25 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> *</b>Rimmel Glam Eyes mascara for bottom lashes, the short bristled brush is perfect </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Drugstore $8.99 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey there darlings! First I'd like to welcome all the new views to the Color My Face blog and page. I adore you all and appreciate your support from the bottom of my heart <3</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As promised, I would do little blurbs here and there until the first Highlight Feature post but I thought it only right to properly introduce myself and give you all a clear picture of what Color My Face is and will be! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For starters, my name is Rashida and I'm a freelance makeup artist from NY. I've worked professionally as a freelance artist for over four years now on clients from the small stage to Broadway, local productions to national TV. And I absolutely LOVE every minute of it! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As an artist I try my best to expand my knowledge of the makeup industry always, so there's never a time that I won't be caught reading, trying or buying something beauty related. In my opinion, as a MUA you can never learn enough.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Recently, I've taken on the role of teacher with the Color My Face Makeup Artistry classes. You can find that story on my first blog post <a href="http://colormyfacebyrashida.blogspot.com/2012/08/eeeep-im-blogging-too.html" target="_blank">Eeeep, I'm blogging too!!!!!</a>, and now this blog. As a whole I have a vision of Color My Face being a collective beauty community. Not just your average read my blog, watch my video, I am the end all to be all. But rather an interactive entity where your questions can be answered and taken seriously. In my classes no question is ever too small or insignificant, and that's the direction I'd like to go with this blog. Your questions, comments and request inspire me and from there I can shape Color My Face into not only what I want but what YOU ask for!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am also a fan of the uncommon. I like to introduce people to products they may have never considered using or never even heard of. So do expect to see some "not so norm" suggestions, but trust me a you'll love them just as much as I do! There will also be times where it won't be about just us ladies... that's right, I have a few things planned just for the GUYS!!!! For my younger audience, a teen panel is on its way as well ^_^</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, now that you know a little more about me I do hope to learn more about you....let's be friends! Comment below, let me know what you would like to see, the more suggestions the better. The follow up to this will be a product review on Steam Cream, and my first video tutorial. Question is what do you want to see? Eyes, lips, full face? You choose and that's what I'll do! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First I start with a mild cleanser. I'm have oily yet very sensitive skin, and I'm allergic to..well the world! But the original Cetaphil does the job for me. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On to toning. I've tried many different brands but I always seem to go back to what my Grandma reccomends, Witch Hazel. Sometimes...most times the generations before us know best. And I will admit, this is one of them. I'm partial to Dickinson's brand, my skin never feels dried out but always balanced after using it. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To add a bit more moisture I follow up with either a mineral water mist preferably Avene Thermal Spring Water or in summer months when I need a little more help with oil control I opt for Naruko brand Magnolia Brightening and Firming Spray. It adds moisture and vitamin C while also helping balance my skin and provides a great base for my makeup. (FYI, both can be carried with you and used as a refreshing mist through out the day as well)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Like most people (well at least in my mind) I'm on a constant hunt for the perfect moisturizer. One that does its job at moisturizing my skin well, but doesn't leave it feeling greasy or under moisturized. One that will promote healthy looking skin and not lead me into a reaction state that will take me weeks to recover from. Lately I've been thrilled with the results from Aveeno Clear Complexion Moisturizer. It's oil free (+), contains Salicylic Acid which helps fight breakouts and will also keep future ones at bay (+). Not to mention its made with Aveeno's total soy complex which will moisturize, promote even skin tone, soften skin and even fight away unwanted hairs (+++++). What more could you ask for, this stuff is amazing!</span> </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cleanse, Tone, Spray with mineral water only and Moisturize. If I feel I need a extra moisture I will replace the Aveeno for Simple Brand Rich Moisturizer. Its not heavy at all but will give you a deeper penetrating feel and its super gentle to skin. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I follow with petroleum jelly under the eyes. Just a little will help prevent bags from showing up in the morning. I also use a tiny bit on my lashes for extra moisture and lids to help with sleepy time. It really does help, but make sure you have enough hours ahead to get a full nights sleep. The jelly will cause them to be slightly heavy and your snooze button my no longer like you if you have to press it too many times :-). I've been in love with Vaseline brand Cocoa Butter Petroleum Jelly. It just gives a extra UMPH to the plain boring one we've all been used to for years...and it smells great!</span></div>

A new blogger (aka me) in an attempt to give her viewers an honest reiview at a quick and easy face mask had a brilliant idea. Why not use the mask on someone who has never tried it so the viewers can see how amazing it really is. Well as circumstance had it, I just happened to have an available face.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But before we get to the review lets talk daily/weekly face cleansing routines. In most cases people are very particular about the products they use on their face, I mean after all it like your own personal billboard. And truth be told we want it to look its best always. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keeping a routine is beneficial to healthy skin. Of course lets not forget it all starts within, a healthy diet and lots of water are of the utmost importance as well. But having a set daily routine can help you learn your skin, know its likes and dislikes, understand why it becomes temperamental and just won't seem to cooperate when you need it to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cleansing morning and night is a must, and yes I know some of you may think "well, who doesn't do that"...pssshhh, you'd be surprised! Being constantly on the go with work, school, family or just plain 'ole life can leave us all desiring a few extra hours in the day. So after you get home from a long day in the office or a night of partying it up with friends, take a few minutes to wash that gorgeous face of yours. Believe me, your face will thank you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now for post wash, do you tone or go straight to the moisturizer...or just go? If its one of the first two choices then good for you, and if you're one of those that does the latter - tsk, tsk, tsk shame!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Toning, why do we do it really? Some feel its just an extra step or another way cosmetic/beauty companies can push one more product on us, but toning can actually be beneficial. Cleansing is a definite must, but toning will also remove any residual dirt left on your face. Another benefit is that it helps restore the natural pH balance to our face. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On to the moisturizer, and this is wear a lot of us make our biggest mistake. You must...MUST moisturize. Normal, dry, oily or combination skin type it doesn't matter, be kind to you face and give it the moisture it craves. Remember washing will strip your skin of essential oils and moisture, so its your job to put them back!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my humble opinion these are daily cannot do without. But now I'm going to throw a wrench into the routine. What about scrubs, peels, masks and the sort. All wonderful to add to your routine, for everyday though...meh...these facial treatments can be saved for every other day, every three days or even once a week. Once you learn what your skin can handle then you make the decision. Just don't forget, your face is delicate, using these treatments every day can be harsh. I know you may feel you get a deeper clean, but if you cleanse regularly you'll be just fine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Now what we've all been waiting for!!!!!!!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mask 2-3 times a week and personally I prefer clay masks. I've been blessed with oily skin (yes, blessed...keeps wrinkles at bay a little longer) and the way it removes all the yucky impurities and blackheads just can't be beat. Especially for a quick and inexpensive at home treatment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My preference is the Mint Julep Mask by Queen Helene (can be found...everywhere). I first remove all makeup then apply the mask with a brush all over my face (avoiding the eyes). I let it sit for a good 15-20 min and gently re-moisten by patting a tiny bit of water on my face and remove with a wet cloth using circular motions. I then follow with my usual cleansing routine and OMG talk about smooth skin. Depending on the amount of impurities you may see a little inflammation but don't be alarmed it will fade, usually in about 30 minutes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My aim was to see what someone thought about the experience of a clay mask that has never tried it.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">HELLO DARLINGS</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Welcome to the first blog posting of Color My Face.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For those of you familiar with me you are well aware that I am a makeup/beauty junkie. The addiction runs deep and I probably need a 12-step program but I digress…I just love makeup. Moreover, for the newbies, please reference the sentence before (I’m also a smarty-pants, do not hold it against me).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyhoo, here’s a little background on Color My Face. It all started earlier this year while doing makeup (6 straight hours of makeup) for a Bollywood Dance production in NYC. While glamming up some already beautiful women a few inquired about me teaching makeup classes. I thought to myself “<i>ummm, they cannot be serious</i>”, but once the fifth person approached me it sparked a little something in the back of my mind. After a few months of mulling over the idea, I ran it across a few friends and received surprisingly unanimous thumbs up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Beautiful story right…guess what, there’s more!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> So, I gathered ideas of what I wanted to teach and decided to keep things very simple. Then it was pick a date and see who responds time, but first I needed to make this event special to me…make it my own if you will. It took a little while to really dig deep and figure out why I love makeup so much. And as most things in our lives it stems from my childhood. I loved color…I loved coloring….I loved finger-painting, and honestly anything artistic. Truth be told, if you give me a coloring book right now I’d be at it for hours. That’s when I had my ‘lightbulb’ moment and Color My Face was born. I sent out an invite and the classes were a success.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As a result of the classes a Facebook page (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/ColorMyFace">https://www.facebook.com/ColorMyFace</a>) was started and now this blog. Like I said before I’m a makeup/beauty junkie and I adore finding & trying new products, suggesting what I think may be of quality and helpful to someone wanting to pump up their pretty, annndddd I’m pretty good at just rambling about anything I think is super awesome especially if the color is gorgeous…and orange…I LOVE orange!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With this blog and your comments, suggestions and thoughts I hope to explore a plethora of ways we can keep ourselves looking and feeling beautiful always.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
