Big Red Lips

A Fashion Show Look: Get the Look

A flawless makeup look starts with the right foundation—not just your foundation product, but the canvas you're working on. For a high-stakes event like a fashion show, we always begin by prepping the skin. The model had wonderful skin to begin with, and we made sure it was prepped for longevity by using a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer, followed by a face primer to ensure the look would last under the lights.

Now, follow these steps to achieve this stunning and long-lasting look.

Step 1: Brows

Fill in the brows using a brow powder that matches your hair color. For this look, we filled the brows a little darker than usual to create a bold frame. For an extra highlight, we applied a concealer one shade lighter directly under the brow.

Step 2: Eyes

Begin by priming the eyelid with an eye shadow primer. Then, apply a light pink eye-shadow to your lid. Using the same brush (after cleaning it with a gentle brush cleaner), apply a light purple eye-shadow in your crease. Next, apply a light silver shade to the inner eye crease and extend it to just below the middle of the brow arch, being careful not to cover the concealer highlight.

Step 3: Liner

Create a defined line on the top lid using a black liquid eyeliner, extending it into a bold wing. On the bottom, use a black sparkly powder as eyeliner just above the lash line. Clean your brush, then apply a bright bronze gold eye-shadow just below your lash line to add a pop of color.

Step 4: Lashes

Apply a set of super long and thick strip lashes, then blend them with a coat of mascara for a seamless and dramatic effect. Lashes to the heavens!

Step 5: Face

To perfect the canvas, cover any dark spots with concealer. Then, use a foundation brush to apply a full-coverage foundation all over the face. For the model, we used a concealer that was one shade lighter than her skin tone under her eyes. Set the foundation with a mineral powder using a kabuki brush.

Step 6: Cheeks

Create dimension by contouring with a brown-rose blush, applied just under the cheekbones. Highlight the tops of the cheekbones with a bronze gold eye shadow. To finish, use a light pink bronze blush on the apples of your cheeks for a rosy flush. The side view of the contour flows beautifully and looks completely natural.

Step 7: Lips

For the perfect red lip, begin by prepping with a concealer as a base. Line the lips with a Maple lip liner, then apply a Berry Red lipstick to the center of the lips. Finish the look by applying a True Red lipstick all over the lips. For this model, her full lips and the classic red color worked together wonderfully. We finished the look with a glossy red for extra moisture.

Final Pro Tips

Final Checks: I always have models close their eyes so I can double-check the look from all angles. This ensures everything is blended perfectly and the look is flawless.
Contouring: Remember to view the face from all angles. A well-contoured face will have a natural flow and seamless blend from every perspective.
Harmonize: The key to this look is the perfect harmony between a bold eye and a stunning red lip.

A little peek behind the scenes! Before the glam begins, it all starts with skincare. We prepped the model's beautiful skin with cleanser, toner, and moisturizer, then sealed it all in with a great primer to make sure the makeup doesn't budge.

Bold lips and a true red work wonderfully together.

This model's perfect features were the ideal canvas for a statement look.

That contour from the side. Perfectly defined, flawlessly blended, and completely natural.

Lashes to the heavens! ✨

This look is all about that extra length and a whole lot of drama.

It's all in the details. I always have my models close their eyes so I can double-check the look from every angle, ensuring a perfect and symmetrical finish.

Ingredient Spotlight:

Ingredient Spotlight: Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter

Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter is a natural fat extracted from cocoa beans. You probably know it from chocolate, but it's also a powerful ingredient in many beauty products, prized for its ability to hydrate and soften skin.

How It's Used in Makeup

Hydrating Emollient: Cocoa butter is an excellent emollient. It helps to deeply moisturize dry skin, creating a smooth, supple canvas for makeup application. It's often found in foundations, primers, and concealers to prevent a cakey or dry finish.
Thickening Agent: Because it's solid at room temperature and melts on contact with skin, cocoa butter is used to give products a creamy, luxurious texture. This makes it a key ingredient in lipsticks and solid foundations, helping them glide on smoothly and feel rich.
Protective Barrier: Cocoa butter forms a thin, protective barrier on the skin, which helps to lock in moisture and keep your skin hydrated throughout the day while you wear makeup.

Always check the ingredients before using a new product.

Your skin is the largest organ.

Remember, some of what you put on your skin can be absorbed into your bloodstream

Peach Eyeshadow: A Secret Weapon for Stunning Eyes

This is a great look for anyone, but it's especially striking on people with green eyes or when you're wearing green. It's a fantastic way to make your eyes pop and add a touch of warmth and color to your face. For this specific look, I'm using a color that's been a staple in my professional makeup kit for years: I-285 Contour Blush from LAMIK BEAUTY . This is a hard-to-find shade with the perfect balance of peach, orange, and bronze. It’s my go-to for making brown eyes pop or for creating a beautiful bronze highlight on all skin tones. Unfortunately, the I-285 Contour Blush is no longer for sale. But don't worry, you can still achieve a very similar look by mixing two beautiful shades from a different brand: Oulac Powdery Blusher for Cheeks .

What kind of wig works for you?

This year marks an incredible milestone for me: 10 years since I officially embarked on my journey as a beauty expert! It's hard to believe how quickly the time has flown. Looking back, my path wasn't always clear. After leaving TSU with a less-than-stellar 1.9 GPA, I felt a bit lost, trying to figure out my next step. Taking the leap and enrolling in Paul Mitchell was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I've ever made. I absolutely loved every single moment of it. One of the most valuable lessons I absorbed during my time at Paul Mitchell has stuck with me throughout my career: "The client knows and understands their beauty best, listen to them." This simple yet profound statement has shaped my approach to everything I do, especially as I ventured into the world of wig making. Your Vision, Your Wig: The All Love Your Beauty Difference When I started creating wigs under my brand, All Love Your Beauty, this principle became my guiding star. I firmly belie...

Feel Loved and Do Your Best.

Life can be a confusing journey, can't it? You plan everything out, you work so hard, and then one unexpected step throws everything off course. It's a frustrating feeling, but as you get older, you start to see things a little differently. You learn that as long as you don't give up, things have a way of working out. One of the most powerful ways to navigate those tough times is by connecting with the people you love. When you're feeling lost or overwhelmed, a simple act of kindness—like sending a special gift to a friend—can make a huge difference. Why? Because when you show love to others, that love comes right back to you. It's a powerful cycle that can help you feel grounded and supported. Fueling Your Mind and Body Just as we nurture our relationships, we also need to nurture ourselves. A big part of that is what we put into our bodies. A healthy mind starts with a healthy diet. I’ve found that focusing on these simple principles can make a world of differenc...

Wig Care 101

Keep Your Custom Unit Looking "Photo Ready" Whether you are wearing a custom-made unit like mine or a store-bought piece, how you care for your wig determines how long it stays beautiful. A high-quality wig is an investment in your style, and with a little TLC, it can last a very long time! To keep your curls bouncy and your lace looking natural, follow my professional "Wig Care" routine. 1. The Gentle Wash Just like your hair, wigs need a cleanse—but you have to be gentle! The Rule: Only wash your wig after 10–15 wears, or when there is a visible buildup of product. The Technique: Fill a basin with lukewarm water and a sulfate-free shampoo. Submerge the wig and gently agitate. Never rub the hair together, as this causes tangling and shedding! 2. Moisture is Key Since the hair on a wig doesn't get natural oils from your scalp, it can get dry and brittle fast. Pro Tip: Always follow up with a high-quality conditioner. For curly units, use a leave-in condition...

How to Find Your Perfect Cleanser (and Why a Milk Cleanser Might Be It)

Finding the right cleanser for your skin can feel like a chore. You need something that's effective but won't strip your skin of its natural moisture. While some people (like me!) have a multi-cleanser routine, you don't have to be that extra. The key is finding one that works for you. Why a Milk or Cream Cleanser? Milk and cream cleansers are a fantastic option, especially if you have: Dry or Dehydrated Skin: Their gentle, creamy formulas help cleanse without leaving your skin feeling tight or flaky. Sensitive Skin: The mild ingredients and lack of harsh detergents make them less likely to cause irritation or redness. Healing Skin: If your skin is recovering from a procedure, a sunburn, or a breakout, a gentle milk cleanser can help you cleanse without further damage. Bonus Tip: Even if you have oily skin, a milk or cream cleanser can be a great second step in a double-cleansing routine, following a deeper-cleansing or oil-based cleanser. It ensures your skin is thor...

We've all been there, where eating out a little too much leaves us feeling sluggish and craving something light and nourishing. That's exactly why I turn to my go-to "cleanse" – a big pot of homemade, veggie-packed soup. It's the perfect way to hit the reset button, both for your body and your skin! My Secret Weapon: The "Feel-Good" Soup This isn't your average canned soup. It's a hearty, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying concoction that's loaded with ingredients that make you feel good from the inside out. I make a huge batch and freeze a few bowls for those times when I know I'll be tempted to order takeout. Having a healthy option ready to go is a game-changer! Here's what went into my pot this time: Veggies: Corn, Spinach, Onions, and Bell Peppers – a colorful and nutrient-dense base. Protein & Fiber: Sausage, Rice, and Beans – for a fillin...
