The Makeup Artist and The Madness

Suck in your guts and take care of your toes ladies because Swim Week is officially here. In less than 24 hours the first show for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim Miami will take place, and yours truly will be one of the participating makeup artists. 

Lisa Blue is the first designer to display her collection, and it appears to be one monster of a show with 43 (!!!) models walking the cat walk. Normally shows have between 15-22 models.

MBFW Swim takes place in Miami from July 19th to the 23rd. It's by the same crew as NYFW, so you know it's gonna' be good. Expect to see beautifully tanned, tall goddesses with curves that kill. As for the beauty department, beachy, wavy hair and beautiful sun-kissed makeup will dominate the runways.

Stay tuned for behind the scenes pics of: Lisa Blue, Agua Bendita, Kooey, L*Space, and Suboo. Plus pics from the MBFW Official Kick Off Party, Ocean Drive Magazine's July/August Cover Party, and possibly more if I'm not too drunk, hungover, and/or tired to attend.

Ocean Drive: Splurge

Technically I should be in bed right now since I have to be up in less than eight hours, but I'm trying to calm the butterflies in my stomach after my makeup splurge today. 
Tomorrow I have a shoot with Ocean Drive Magazine for their annual Swim Issue out in July for Miami Swim Week. I'm doing the makeup for the cover and the swim story. I am so excited! I probably can't go into detail regarding the inspiration for the shoot, but I can tell you that it's a throwback; and the model will be wearing swimsuits. You're just gonna' have to wait. Listed below are the new products that I felt I simply could not live without. I mean, no one should.

Stila Custom Color Blush Self-Adjusting Coral: Kinda' self explanatory. It's like a mood ring blush.
Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer in Kitten Shimmer: Beautiful champagne shimmer. Not too pink. Not too gold. Just right.
Stila Smudge Pot in Black: For the perfect winged eyeliner...or double winged eyeliner. Shhh! No more hints.
Too Faced Royal Oil Coconut Oil Body Bronzer: Drop what you're doing and buy it. Seriously. Go.
MAC Amplified Lipstick in Impassioned: Beautiful, creamy hot/neon pink with a hint of tangerine.
MAC Eye Shadow in Antiqued: The perfect bronzey brown. My favorite color in the world.
MAC Eye Kohl in Teddy: A shimmery brown, easy to blend eye liner. My favorite eye pencil in the world.
LUSH Eau Roma Water Toner: Okay. This product is only for me. I ran out of Celestial lotion and needed a sample to tide me over for a bit. I didn't want to seem cheap, so I bought this. It smells pretty freakin' spectacular. (fresh rose petals and lavender)

Alright, I'm going to bed. I think.
