Workshop + Photoshoot

I recently traveled down to Maryland for a workshop being given by Renny Vasquez. It was three days full of makeup, business, laughs, and all around fun. I have to say, not only did I learn a lot, but I really met a lot of great people.

I never quite came down from that weekend cause I've been happy ever since!

Anyhow, beyond just the learning part of the workshop, it ended with us having the opportunity to do makeup for a model or on ourselves for a profile picture. I chose to do a model and here is my best shot:

Nice, simple, and pretty! She was so cute, and a good sport since she was originally just there with her mom. My model didn't show and she just happened to be around and let me use her. I loved her lip ring.....not going to lie...I think I want one now lol.

It was a very good weekend....and I got to eat Chick-fil-A for the first time in months....I was craving it~ Silly silly.

FOTD: Red Lips

Since I dyed my hair back to a darker color I've been wearing bolder lips. I'm very excited about that.
So, simple liner and more on the lips it will be for a while.

Face:
MAC Matchmaster foundation in 6.0
NARS Taos blush

Lips:
MAC Hot Tahiti lipstick
Smashbox lipgloss in Siren mixed with a little of MAC Caqui lipgloss

In other news....I think I'm really enjoying this matchmaster foundation! The color fits me pretty well and it feels natural on the skin! I still want to wear it for a full week though before I completely sign my love away to it.

Peek a Boo~

Was playing around with my camera this weekend.

I actually never knew how hard it was to take self portraits with lights and things alone. Which I guess is part of the whole "self" thing.

I finally, OFFICIALLY have internet again so I will be posting a lot more now. Exciting right?!
