Couldn't take my eyes off of...

Hey Dolls!

I couldn't take my eyes off of Jennifer Hudson. I'm a huge fan of Jennifer Hudson and a lot of my makeup looks are inspired by her. So, I was really excited when I saw her at Elton John's Annual AIDS Oscar Viewing party. Her Skin was flawless, her hair was so beautiful. I'm loving the bangs she's been rocking and that royal blue gown was gorgeous on her!! She's what I call a DIVA!I just couldn't take my eyes off of her...

...See for yourself!

Soft Smokey Eyes

Hey Dolls!

Last year my nephew had his 1st Birthday party and my sister wanted Smokey Eyes but she wanted it to be appropriate for her son's 1st birthday party. Basically, she wanted it kid friendly. So, I decided to do a soft smokey eye look on her. I used the same colors I would normally use on a smokey eye the only difference is I used a very light hand to apply the eyeshadow colors and I blended the colors in a lot.

Here's her look:

Makeover: Bronze-Orange Eyes

Hey Dolls,

A couple of weeks ago I did one of my sister's friends makeup. She never really had her makeup done before so I wanted to keep it light and soft. She has really, really long eyelashes and these gorgeous, huge brown eyes. So, I wanted to keep the focus on her eyes. So, to play up her brown eyes I added a bronzy-orange eyeshadow color and I kept her lips soft with a nude lipcolor. I really like doing Dominique's makeover because I've never really worked with someone with over plucked eyebrows before so this gave me a chance and opptunity to work with very thin eyebrows. After I filled in Dominique's eyebrows and gave her a more natural shape she really like them.

Here's her Before and After:
