Bright & Intense (Cut the Crease)

Okay Bloggers,

So here is my 1st attempt at a "Cut the Crease" look.

I was inspired by boredom and decided to play around a little bit.

I wanted to blog about it because I was pleased with the outcome, BUT I

will continue to practice so that I can get better!

I have a few photoshoots coming up and I want to use the look.... :-)

The shots (in my opinion) aren't that good but here they are anyways...

Here a few pics of my daughter & my neice. They are 13 now & wanted to play in make up. You know I wasn't goin to say no to that!!! LOL

These arent looks that I would allow them to walk around in (just because its a lil too grown & bright in my opinion)...it was just us playing in colors & having fun!

Enjoy & Thanks for looking!!

Color on a Woman of Color!!

Okay so I have a friend who SWEARS up and down that "colors" are not for Women of Color!!!! Who in the world told her that?? lol
Anyways, she came to visit me and during her visit we played in colors. Now this look is not a look that I would reccomend her or anyone else in a PROFESSIONAL Occupation wear out as a Daily look..I was just trying to show her how pretty colors could & would look up against her beautiful skin tone!!!

Well....Here she is.......

On her that day I used:
I forgot what foundation I used (sorry)
Lucky Jade s/s
Bitter e/s
Parfait Armour e/s
Swish e/s
Stars N Rockets e/s
Frankly Scarlet Blush
Grape l/l
Kool l/s
Mlle Maraschino l/g stain
Red Cherry Lashes (4got what #) and
a few tear drop stones for a lil added dramatics

Thanks for looking!
