Maybe She's Born With It...

You ARE born with it! With beauty, value and purpose.

I had the opportunity to chit chat with the Glamourous Maybelline Supermodel, Jessica White during NYC Fashion's Night Out and I just love what she had to say about cultivating and embracing inner beauty.

Here is her best inner beauty tip!

Backstage with Rae Morris

While working with an incredible Hair Team, The Hair Room Services NYC, at the Fame Shows... I ran into this lovely and oh-so-extremely-talented Makeup Artist, Rae Morris! What a delight to chat with her again and learn all about her new (& very impressive) Brush Collection! I can't wait to get my hands on them, especially her foundation brush... trust me, you've never seen one like this before!

More to come, but for now, here's a behind the scenes peek!

Makeup 101

Did you go to school for Makeup?

I didn't attend school for my profession. Working, attending workshops, reading books and studying magazines became my school. I learned my craft as I went and I was always making sure I was around people who inspired me and people I could learn from. I went to FIDM, Fashion College where I studied Visual Communications. I learned the theories of color and design, which helped me as an artist. I also learned how to market a creative business, plan events, wardrobe style and various other skills that helped me along my way as a freelance makeup artist and business owner. I put myself through college while working as a Hair & Makeup Artist. I continue to soak up all the knowledge I can, I continue to push my self, my creativity and my courage. I recommend if you're a Makeup Artist to make sure you're attending Trade shows! Here are a few NOT to miss...

IMATS. www.imats.net International Makeup Artist Trade Show. I was totally inspired by my time at the trade show in Pasadena and ran into some ol' favorites including Dany Sanz of Makeup Forever, Sharon Gault aka Mama Makeup, and met some new inspirational artists including the incredible, Rae Morris and the Creator of IMATS and The Makeup Artist Magazine himself, Michael Key.

The Makeup Show: www.TheMakeupShow.com which starts TODAY (May 15 &16th) in NYC! I so wish I can be there for this spectacular display of talent!! Some of the gurus I'd love to see if I were in the Big Apple this weekend would be... Billy B (whom I had the pleasure of running into while at the MAC store at The Grove in LA!), Charlie Green, Patti Dubroff, Reggie Wells, Sam Fine and other stars!

Enjoy Life. Live Beautifully. Keep Creating. And don't be afraid to Play with Makeup!

I heart NY, let me count the ways...

Ahh, New York. I'm so looking forward to seeing you again. To feel the wind take my hair as I zip through the city in a crazy cab, to sense the sun on my shoulders as I stroll through Central Park, to hear the sound of stilettos make their way across cobble stone roads of the Meat Packing district, and of course to ooh and ahh over the latest and greatest fashion, beauty and architecture that can only be captured in the Big Apple.

I can't wait to work and schlep around my hair and makeup kit to fabulous sets and studios. To meet glamourous and driven artists, to paint the prettiest faces and to enjoy the chicest shows and runways. I've been so incredibly inspired attending the past two September Fashion Weeks in NY, I absolutely crave being backstage, interviewing models and celebs on inner beauty, and I heart being on the hair and makeup teams of the most talented artists in the world.

Why wouldn't I want to go back to New York? This time, for a bit longer, perhaps? As I plan my fall return to the City that never sleeps, I came across this gem on Vogue Diaries and thought it would be appropriate to share it with all of you.

Until I return, I at least have Vogue.com to melt my heart.

I heart NY.

Dolce and Gabbana Fashion's Night Out in NYC

Dolce & Gabbana team up with Naomi Campbell's Charity to produce a celebrity studded event for Fashion's Night Out in NYC- and I was there to help get the models glamourous.

A deep, cherry-red vampy lip paired with strong, organic brows and clean doll-like skin completed the look. My lovely friend, NYC Celebrity Makeup Artist, Sokphalla Ban keyed the look... and I happily worked along side her.

Here's a peak at the models I worked on, the party I attended and all the glitz and glam that led to the grand finale... Naomi and her 'girls' dancing in the streets of Manhattan.

The lineup for the show
