Complexion perfection ~ Your Summer Guide to Flawless Skin!
Another day, another castle…
Received another gracious shipment from one of my fave makeup brands ~ Stila Cosmetics!
Below is my personal take on the products & how I use them in my pro kit and on my clients…
Haven’t worked with the CC creams much so it’ll be fun to incorporate them into my work a little more. They’re specially formulated to colour correct skin tones hence the CC initials ~ Ironically coined & created by a few other cosmetic brands in the industry after the BB (Beauty Balm) craze ;)
Last but not least, the tools that help distribute all of the above products evenly are oh so important in achieving a flawless finish. I regularly rave about the #33 one-step complexion brush since it emulates your fingers when applying foundation, highlight & contour without leaving streaks.
Also love the #24 illuminating powder brush! It gives an almost airbrush effect with it’s perfectly tapered soft bristles. I truly enjoy using Stila’s double-ended multi-tasking brushes ~ saves me time having a brush on both ends while working in a fast paced environment. The brushes are also re-enforced multiple times on the handle so I’ve never experienced lost bristles.
So much more to discuss on brushes alone so I’ll do a separate post on various uses & my ultimate faves from different lines!
Special delivery! Just received a hefty shipment of makeup goodies from one of my fave cosmetic brands ~ Anna Sui :)
My partner, Tavis Gordon & I took a few minutes to build an Anna Sui makeup castle lol & of course had to document it!
We also snapped a shot of the recently nominated Anna Sui fragrance “La Vie De Boheme” + a few of the unboxed goods.
Check out the pics below & stay tuned for my follow up post on a recent makeup look I did on Flare Mag Beauty Editor, Caitlin Kenny, using none other than Anna Sui Cosmetics…

Got booked to do Key Makeup for a Fashion Show @ The Burroughes building. It was for a really cool line called Moose and Beaver ~ lots of wonderful knitwear, re-purposed fur & leather with great silhouettes…
We kept the makeup fairly neutral with more focus on eyes - a browny, bronzy smokey eye with natural toned lips to compliment the show pieces. Here’s some behind the scenes snapshots via my iPhone and Runway shots courtesy of Ming Siu at tofashionistas.com
The last image is a behind the scenes snap of Nicole Babb’s photoshoot today…had a blast!

This week I received some goodies from noir cosmetics. It’s a fresh line from Montreal specializing in all things black - which I find totally smart since black never goes out of style. So far, I'm lovin' the line! I recently tested it for a shoot which will be featured in a mag version of broken heel diaries. Thanks for the love guys!
