Doll Face

Holiday make-up........ so fun.

Summer is all about natural, a little bronzer and some gloss and you're out the door... for the holidays we can glam it up!

Rouge lips? YES!
Shimmer? YES!

For miss D I usually keep it pretty basic. The girl has these huge aqua eyes and pouty lips, you don't need much! Yesterday I was feeling "baby doll" for her. Hotsy Totsy (yes thats the name of the gloss) lips, golden shimmery eyes and lots of mascara! All make-up used is GIELLA custom blend cosmetics.

Before: D and her nice clean face...

Mixin' up a nice bronzy gold, but to really get that shimmery affect I went back over the shadow with a top coat of a champagne shimmer.

What a Beaut.

Fall make-up done right

Smokey Eye and Nude lip are always in  and different variations work well for all complexions.

This season you see suddle hints of greys, golds, truffle and burnt orange mixed in with the traditional black. Always line the inner rim with black.

For a beautiful NUDE lip try a new color I just made for myself called DOE by GIELLA.

It's a very creamy lipstick, mine has peppermint and is almost identical to the lips in the first photo

Blush color PETAL

Bare eyes or eyes with a suddle hint of taupe eye shadow with a nude lip or a very bright pop of color on the lip. Reds are always big for the colder months. If you get the right one for your complexion it can wake up your whole face. This year we are seeing more firey orange tone red lipstick. 

Try OPIUM by GIELLA

Finally my favorite look. (because it was done by me, haha) Merlot color lip with earthy brown eye shadow and a combo of bronzer for a contour and petal blush. Fill in the eyebrows and use a matte powder or concealor as a highlight almost in a boomerang shape under the eye and on the very top of the cheek bone.

For any of these colors, click the links and email me and I will have them shipped right away.

Remember that not every look works for every person. Feel free to email me for an appointment to create the look that is right for you right from scratch.

The new NUDE

We have been getting a lot of buzz around this new color: Greige.

The perfect nude color for your toes and nails. When you are tired of the French, pale pinks and not ready to wear the dark blackened colors for winter, Greige is the perfect color that goes with anything.

Fashion Week

So yesterday I had a crazzzy day! I closed shop at 4, ran to LOVE ILLUMINATI where they gave me an awesome outfit to wear for the NOIR fashion event in Chelsea, NYC. I finally arrived around 11pm.

Retrospects Blog

Today is a beautiful energized Saturday, although I still feel like I need more coffee. Tomorrow is my first shimmer and spice home shopping party and Luisa will be manning the shop! I am extremely excited and I know it will be so much fun. Pictures will be posted soon enough!! After the party I'm off to NYC for my day at Bendels! Although it is exhausting I look forward to seeing what the new styles are at bendels so I can get them in the shop, as well as seeing my NYC loves! 

On another note, I received gorgeous pictures from one of my brides I did make-up for! She is such a SWEET, CHARMING, EASY GOING woman I have to say this was honestly a complete pleasure from the trial to the wedding day. On the wedding day she first forgot her hair spray (which is kinda her thing), then her dress ripped, but NOTHING was going to bring her down! Congrats to you Dian! 

You two are a beautiful couple.
