This past Saturday, I had a lovely client who was attending a Quinceañera and wanted to look extra special. She really wanted to try a smokey eye with a gradient from light to dark. I used Urban Decay's NAKED palette to apply a shimmery champagne to the lid and the inner corner to brighten up her eyes. I then smoked it out on the outer corner and finished off with a dramatic winged liner and some flirty Red Cherry lashes. Because we wanted the eyes to be the main focus, we kept the cheeks and the lips pretty nude but added a beautiful highlight from NARS to the top of her cheekbones and the bridge of her nose!

Isn't she gorgeous? Thank you so much Adriana! I hope you had a fantastic time.
Until next time,

Today we headed out to Costa Mesa to do an urban inspired shoot with the beautiful Caitlin. Jeff took some amazing shots on top of motorcycles, in front of hot rods, behind dumpsters and more. To give the shoot an urban, grungy feel, I decided to go with a black smokey eye and I tied everything together with MAC's lipstick in Diva, which is the perfect burgundy. As always, we had an awesome time and look forward to working together again in the near future!
