The Art of Self-Love

A Simple Everyday Reveal

I truly believe that to truly love someone and be loved by them, you first have to love yourself. Only then can you teach your lover how you desire to be loved, while you learn how to love them correctly.

This philosophy is at the heart of this Simple Everyday Look. It isn’t about wearing a mask; it’s about taking the time to care for yourself and revealing the beauty that is already there. Here is how we achieved this fresh, dewy look:

The Foundation of Care

Self-love starts with a clean slate. Before we touched any makeup, I had my client wash her face, tone, and moisturize. Because her skin is naturally oily, we used a moisturizer with oil-absorbing properties. This ensures her natural oils will eventually create a soft glow without "taking over" her face.

Brows & Brightening

The Brows: No wax needed! We simply used the LAMIK Brow Kit to define and highlight her natural shape.
The Correction: To hide dark spots, I used Brighten Cream. Pro-Tip: Apply this using your finger! The warmth of your skin helps the cream melt and blend naturally into your face.

The "Glow" Secret

After finishing the eyes, we used toner to clean up any fall-out and reapplied moisturizer to act as a primer.

I don't like to over-highlight or over-contour unless a client asks for it. In this look, I didn’t use any highlighter at all! By using the right skincare, her natural oils provide a soft, dewy highlight that looks radiant, not greasy.

The Eyes: It’s All in the Blend

The transition between your brow highlight and your crease color is the most important part of your eye makeup.

The Technique: Use your ring finger to blend. It has the lightest touch and is perfect for softening the edges of your eye shadow for a seamless look.

The "Universal" Lip

We finished with Pink Brown Lip Gloss. This is a powerhouse shade! On darker skin tones, it’s the perfect light pop. On lighter skin tones, it pulls as a beautiful, natural pink.

Final Touches

Before the final lip color, I always double-check the full face. Make sure everything is blended and no stray pigments have fallen. Remember: your foundation and powder don’t have to be heavy to make you look flawless. A little foundation over dark spots set with a light powder is all you need.

Love Yourself First

When you look in the mirror today, remember that the most important relationship you have is with yourself. Treat your face—and your heart—with kindness.

Before we started. I had her wash her face, tone and add moisture.

Her skin is naturally oily. We used a moister that has oil absorbing properties. Over time her oils will start to show, but not over take her face.

We didn't wax her brows, just used the LAMIK Brow Kit to define and highlight her brows.

I used Brighten Cream from LAMIK to cover her dark spot. I applied it using my finger. The warmth of my finger helped the color to naturally blend into her skin.

After doing the eyes, we used toner to clean up her skin and moisturizer as a primer.

I don't like to over highlight or over contour, unless that's what the client wants. I love seeing photos like this, I didn't use any highlighter on her. Her natural oils, give her a soft highlight, a dewy look.

The blend in between your brow highlight and dark crease color is super important. Your look will change based off how much you blend the color. Your ring finger is a quick and easy to blend your eye color.

Pink Brown Lip Gloss is a prefect light color for darker skin tones. On lighter skin tones the color is a light pink, close to natural skin tone.

Before I finish with lip color, I always double check the full makeup. It's important to make sure everything is blended and no random colors have fallen on the face.

Your foundation and powder don't have to be heavy to make you look flawless. Just dab a little foundation over your dark spots and set with a powder.

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 . You'll need these two colors: Oulac Powdery Blusher in F10 Tangerine Tango Oulac Powdery Blusher in F06 Pinky Ice Get the Look: Steps for Perfect Peach Eyes You can recreate this look with a peach eyeshadow you alr...

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.

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...

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...

As a skin care professional, I talk to clients daily, and some of the "DIY" habits I hear—from putting toothpaste on bumps to aggressive over-scrubbing—honestly scare me!
