Bryn Mawr, Senior Ball

Yes, I do have an endless supply of pretty friends. This is the effervescent Bryn (yes, I just called you "effervescent") from her Senior Ball (...and I did her makeup...obviously..........awkward). She's all right looking, I guess. 

So this bloggity blog reached a thousand views. That's pretty cool! Thanks for stalking me, you guys! If you want to virtually follow me...that would be fine, too :).

And I promise (perhaps emptily) that Kenzie will post soon. You'll know by the centered alignment!

Kthxbai.

Kenzie - Senior Ball

I did Kenzie's makeup for Senior Ball years ago (on the left)... Here's a picture of her and the gorgeous Alicia. I know, I know, I really do have the prettiest friends!

Lady G

My little sister is AWESOME and is also my favorite canvas. Over the years, she's been made up with countless beards and bleeding wounds. For Halloween a couple years ago, she wanted to be Lady Gaga and luckily, her personal makeup artist was willing to do it.

Seriously. She is for real. If you want to see how awesome she is in other ways, check out her bedroom that was featured on Apartment Therapy!

Gueeeeeeesssss who!

Lindsey Orton is a wizard when it comes to photography (and she happens to be my favorite). These are some portraits she took of yours truly and I promise there is a non-self-aggrandizing reason for putting them up - I, obviously, did my makeup. What self-respecting makeup artist would allow someone else to do their makeup? (Answer: none.)

So lucky you - here are some closeups of my face, even a couple with my eyes closed!

Okay bye.

The Dark Mark

So I'm consumed by Harry Potter. The day HP 7.2 came out, I had to work, but naturally could not keep my mind on doing normal makeup for customers. Then my coworker/friend, Anne, told me that she decided to dress up as Bellatrix for the premiere, so I attempted my first Dark Mark on her (using eyeliner and shadow from Bare Minerals). I daresay I did rather well!

prom round 2

my beautiful cousin courtney got asked to her second prom.  

that's a total of about two proms in two weeks...you do the math.

she's popular, that one.

the last time i did her hair, we did a trial run and prepped for the big day. 

today, it was all on a whim.

i think it turned out alright.

   

Anna's Bridals

My best friend, Anna, got married last summer! Warning: you are about to get very jealous of me because I have the most gorgeous friends. These photos were taken by the masterful Travis J Photography (who, by the way, I would recommend not only because of the stunning pictures he takes, but also because he was hilarious).

Meow!

You know how makeup artists will sometimes say, "It wasn't hard to make (insert name) look beautiful!"? Sometimes it's a lie. But it reaches a whole new depth of truth when applied to Anna. I don't think putting makeup on improved her ridiculously photogenic face in the slightest.
