1+2 = 3 Makeup Artists Team Has Arrived!

If I could have a super power, it would be to have the ability to be in multiple places at once. I mean how awesome would that be!?  I could see all the people I wanted to see, get so many things done, never have to miss anything!  This super power would come in handy especially with work. I absolutely love what I do, but 60-70 weddings per year, countless photo shoots, as well as other fun things where professional makeup is desired, makes saying yes to everyone, somewhat difficult at times!

This is what I mean about why it would be so awesome to have super powers!  But since I unfortunately do not have these powers, I think I have found the closest thing to cloning myself in the makeup artist world.  

It is my pleasure to introduce you to, Nicole Toledo and Alli Beach!  I am so excited to be collaborating with these two amazing makeup artists to help make the world feel like a prettier place.  I feel so incredibly blessed that Makeup by Heather B. has grown so much over the last few years. While being busy is a blessing it has also been a challenge at the same time.  I found myself constantly having to tell people I was booked already and having to turn down multiple jobs because of previous work commitments.  It bothered me to just have to turn people away because I was already booked.  I decided to bring on two other extremely talented makeup artists to help service even more clients!  If I can't do it, I will help you find someone who can!  I am so incredibly excited and honored to have this amazing opportunity to work with Alli and Nicole. I love that we get to work and collaborate together!  We are all extremely passionate about the beauty industry and love making others look and feel beautiful!

Fierce Fabulous and Ready for Friday

Day-to-Night Makeup in a Flash: 5 Products, 10 Minutes

Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday…we’ve  all been fans of the best day of the week way before Miss Black made it her anthem, thankyouverymuch. Though Monday has been touted as the day for a “fresh start”, I think Friday marks a new sort of beginning as well – a nightlife renaissance of sorts, if you will. Friday marks the start of yet another weekend filled with new adventures and possibilities. Since there usually isn’t much time between running from your day job to happy hour to wherever else the night takes you, I’m sharing four tips for all the busy girls out there to help you stay looking fabulous all night long. Round of drinks, anyone?!

Products you will need:

          •        Concealer

          •        Matte Powder

          •        Bronzer / Blush

          •        Eyeliner

          •        Lip Gloss

1. Brighten up those eyes, buttercup! 

Pad a little eye cream under the eyes to moisten, reinvigorate stale concealer, and loosen any under-eye liner that may have gotten smudgy. Then apply a touch of concealer to just the inner under eyes. That's where we are all darkest, and lightening that up instantly brightens eyes. You then want to spread the concealer along the under-eye lash line to dodge pink (or red if it has been one of those long days).

2. Mattify that face!

You would be shocked how healing and concealing a light dusting of matte powder is. Suddenly skin appears more even and subtly velvety. Use a sponge or fluffy brush to apply, and remember to go into the hairline if your hair is pulled back.  This is also a great trick to help with shininess on the face!  If your skin is acting badly, you can use a pigmented powder to help with coverage!

3. Bronze and Blush

Every woman SHOULD have this duo: a bronzy shade to wake up skin, matched with a juicy peach or pink shade to give cheeks a healthy radiance. Do a touch of bronzer across the bridge of the nose and lightly all over the face. On the apples of the cheeks, swirl in that blush to give the skin that young, fresh glow and give some life to the skin!  You can even take a touch of bronzer and smooth over your day eye shadow to deepen it for evening (depending on how wild you’re feeling).

4. Smoke out that liner!

This is the easiest, quickest way to add drama to your regular routine eye. Take a pewter eyeliner that has a touch of shimmer. Pewter is great because it's not as harsh as black, but not as soft as a brown, and the extra shimmer catches light and looks instantly modern. Rim the entire eye very close to the lash line and smudge lightly with your fingertip. For extra oomph, rim the inside of the lash line.

 5. Golden Gloss that kisser! 

It's always a great idea to have a sheer, shimmery gold lip gloss handy. Apply over your favorite daytime lipstick or lip liner and suddenly you're fab! For best results, look for a shade of gold that's on the yellowy side. Remember that you're mixing it with another lip color; too subtle of a gold and it will look muddy. Look for something shimmery, but not glittery. You want your lips to look wet and light-catching, not ornate and circus-y!
