Year End Update:

October, November, December has been productive professionally as well as personally.  RR Donnelley/Belk On-line is continuing to be consistent. I spent a couple of days at Latte Plantation and in someone's backyard working on a fun commercial, Splatmaster - a paintball game for kids - good product - good people to work with and good craft services/catering - love my job. Also had the pleasure to work with MSNBC again for the 3rd Presidential Debate at Lynn University - always enlightened to meet and work with some of the movers and shakers of the free world - as well as other wonderful makeup artists -  +Tabi Barber, +Christina Vidal and +Ana Crane. Rounding out my commercial opportunities & experiences are Nutopia, a production company out of London shooting interviews for 1980's the Decade that Made Us, working again on a few shoots with the wonderful people in the video media services at +Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and TD Bank photo shoot in Greensville, SC with D'Amico Studio out of Philly. What a quaint and inviting town Greensville, SC.  Check it out the next time you're looking for a weekend get away.

Best wishes for lots of love and laughter to the beautiful brides I had the pleasure of working with these past three months.  It is a joy to be part of your wedding day.

I want to also thank Andrea Mitchell, who I so enjoyed working with again, for introducing me to +Cleu de Peau Ochre concealer and +Giorgio Armani mascara.  I like!  I also sampled Cle' de peau Beaute extra rich lipstick T-10 & R-10 beautiful color and texture - adding it to my kit.  Fyi - Cle' de peau is a Shiseido company.  Also another new addition to my kit +Temptu Aqua foundation.  I already use the SB (Silicone Base) foundation and I love it because it gives a nice full yet sheer coverage that's blendable and longlasting creating radiant looking skin. The Aqua line gives a great soft matte, long lasting coverage. My new favorite palette is Smashbox Studio Pop - it has a great selections of shadows, with excellent pigment for longlasting color.  I really like the cream eye- liners too.  They go on easily and stay on. 

My intentions for this coming new year is to share tips of the trade, new trends and more product knowledge to help make this world a brighter more beautiful place; to discover the beauty within yourself - shine your shine.

Cheers to a Happy and Healthy New Year!
