I hope y'all know I don't ever go to work without full glam! I miss my old Job at Aveda where I would get up every day, super early for full/half face glam ready to conquer my goals. I was tired af & I was only there for 2 months before covid, but I put everythingI had in those two months! I absolutely believe in looking the part. 

When I went to cosmetology school this was one rule they told us faithfully: If you are a hairstylist, look like one. If your a makeup artist, show up beat! It does wonders for your mood, your clients mood, and pretty much everyone else around you. One thing I love is knowing that when you see me in my bag, you will see GlamStylistxoxo okurrt! So lets get into this makeup I did for Olympia's big day, I was in a rush, I missed a few steps but the details and links are below.

First lets discuss the hair! My Ripunzel Raw Hair bundles showed up and showed out. Click here for the related post with full details and links on this hair. I love wearing a cute hat for days I'm out and about. I didn't want to worry about what the top of my head was doing with baby hairs, lace melts etc. 

Trust me, I laid them down, my part was perfect, and my hair up top was flat flat okay lol. But I really like the inconspicuous, discreet MUA look. I was in full glam but it was clear I was there to work & slay. And when we started it got really hot! I was so happy I had this hat or my wig would've fell off lmao.

Speaking of HOT....

I also kept my outfit low-key, wearing a tracksuit I got off amazon,(size XL for reference), click here for the link. I love my work fits conformed to my body, fully covered too. But let me tell y'all, if your gonna wear this bring a fan! It gets soooooo hot, preparing. We had rooms on multiple floors including the presidential suite, I was running around everywhere and each room was a different temperature. The photographers and I were nervous for the heat as we were preparing for pictures outside however it ended up way cooler with the wind blowing, it was perfect but still note to myself next time: bring a fan!

Whats up y'all!!! I had one hell of a weekend, I went to visit my mom for her surgery in Charlotte, NC. I haven't seen her in so long, I'm embarrassed to say lol. It was one of the best experiences I've had in a longggggg time. My mom, sisters and I have a very unique and crazy bond to say the least! It felt so good to see my sister, she's 19 now omg!! Its the fact she's grown and we were able to talk ALL NIGHT LONGGGGGG about everything for me. It's like I'm seeing my life reincarnated through her, we have so much in common its scary lol.  My mom is doing so well I was pleasantly suprised. I always worry about her so visiting was long overdue and very much needed. I want to thank my husband for making this trip possible, he ALWAYS jumps at the chance to go check on my mother and I could really cry with how appreciative I am! I hate getting too emotional (something I inherited from my mom, that's been passed down to myself and ALL my sisters lol)... but seriously we had a few issues in the beginning (mainly bc he never listens when I tell him to prepare-__-) anyway, we've agreed to "agree to disagree" lmao.

The boys got to see their grandma. Grandma got to see her grand babies. Now my world is complete again! I also brought the glam squad (myself lol) and here's a breakdown of the products I used on myself, mom and my sister! 

My mom likes her makeup glam but natural. She is so serious about her brows remaining HER BROWS!

So we went through her makeup and I basically told her to trash everything lol.. I told her to keep one palette that caught my eye but she ended up giving it to me. So here's the palette, I used it on all of us!

Its the Miami palette by Shaina B. The colors are freaking gorgeous,  the shimmers are what caught my eye right away. 

Brows Loreal "Brow Stylist Definer" shade brunette, Anastasia "Studio Brow Powder Duo" in soft brown 

Eyeshadow Shaina "Miami" Eyeshadow Palette" shades Heat(lid), Cafecito(crease), South Peach(transition), Wynnwood & Haulover Nude (brow bone highlight). Uoma Beauty "Black Magic" eyeshadow palette shade "Black Y'all" (matte black used as a shadow liner)

Liner Maybelline "Lasting Drama" Gel Liner in blackest black (waterline)

 

Primer Nyx Cosmetics "Marshmellow Root" Smoothing Primer

Foundation Dose of Colors "Meet Your Hue" Foundation shade 123 medium tan

Concealer Loreal Infallible "More Than Concealer" shade Cashew

Now moving on to my litter sister's makeup! Tani is all grown up, 19 now sheesh time is flying! Here's the details on her look, she wanted a natural/full glam dramatic liner.

Starting the 2021 New Year right with a full cut crease glam look!

I usually find myself hiding from cut creases, they take forever for me to do. 

Nope, I'm not going to let that stop me this year. To me, it's simply a reminder to practice them more. The more I practice on one specific technique, the faster I get. The more I avoid it, the longer it takes me when I go to create. I hate that feeling of wasting time on things I know I could be soooo much better at. 

This week was such a good creative week for me yall. Not only did I create this gorgeous cut crease I love, I FINALLY learned my sewing machine!! I even sewed my first hair weft lol. Proud can't describe the feeling but it also took me forever to get to this point. I bought the sewing machine during the first quarantine of 2020 (June or July I think). Now I'm obsessed. Now I'm ready to make some real money HA! I'm done, I love yall. Have a great weekend everyone.  Below are the full details of this look with links to check out and purchase.

Lashes - The Cartierre Collection "Boss Babes" Lashbook

Shadows - Nyx "Utopia" Eyeshadow palette. Dose Of Colors "Smokey Soiree" 

Liner - Maybelline "Lasting Drama" gel liner in black. Nyx "Matte Liquid Liner" in blackest black.

Lips - La Girl Cosmetics "Precision Lip Liner" in chocolate. Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipsticks in shades "Starfish" & "Stipped" 

Dose of Colors Lipglosses "One & Only" & "Muah"
