So, part 1 of the season 2 reunion show of Basket Ball Wives LA aired last week and part 2 will air this Monday. I did Miss Gloria for last year’s reunion and was happy to hook her up again for this year’s reunion. She wore a white leather and chiffon dress so we felt like the make-up should be lots of lashes and eyeliner with a dark dramatic lip and a side swept wavy look for her hair. Check out the make-up details below…… Thanks a million, Gloria, for calling me for the job!!
As a Hair Stylist and Make-up artist, I am always working to make my clients look their absolute best! And when it comes to make-up, less is more especially when the client has great skin. I have realized that the best botox is really about taking care of your skin and protecting it from the elements and sun. Most surface skin issues are from lack of care and sun damage. Consistency is the key here… like never going to bed with make-up on, without cleansing and a night-time moisturizer and always wearing moisturizer with SPF during the day, rain or shine. I am pretty particular about my skin and I used to be a big Avon fan…. until I discovered the Murad skin care line. They do a really great job ob addressing lots of skin care issues like combination skin and clogged pores, redness and sensitivity, acne, sun protection and more.
I was lucky to attend a Murad Get Away Event where we got info on the latest products and experienced mini facials and great hor dourves, all at the cabanas of the W Hotel in Hollywood. As you can see, I had a nice result from the facial…. Thanks to Murad for a great event. For more info check them out on their website or follow on Facebook: Murad or Twitter: @MuradCares
Just finished a Murad Mini facial at their Get Away Event

Here is my facial routine for day and night! Basically 3 easy steps: 1-Cleanse, 2-Treat and Repair 3-Moisturize! Make a 3-step routine for yourself and see how much better your skin will look and feel. And don’t forget to drink plenty of water and eat well to help your skin from the inside out…..
Cheers,

So, I love doing make-up for red carpets and events and I had the chance to do Gloria Govan’s make-up for the BBWLA Reunion show. I have been getting lots of feedback and inquires as to what make-up I used, so here is a breakdown. Gloria went to rapper T.I.’s book signing event after 6 hours of shooting the reunion and as you can see by the red carpet pic below, she still looked amazing. (Thanks to the primer I used under her make-up).
This amazing look was achieved with mostly L’Oreal make-up… as drugstore brands are some of my favorites.
Thanks a million, Gloria for including me in the fun….. and Thanks to L’Oreal for the make-up gift basket for Gloria…..
I have more make-up than I need but I cannot help myself…. especially when I find a good deal. One of my favorite brands that I like to use on Celeb photoshoots is L’Oreal. Here are some new products that will work for you, as well, like the Voluminous False Fiber Lashes and their Studio Secrets Face Primer, True Match Foundation finishing with Visible Lift Under Eye Concealer. I love lip glosses and their le Gloss is a new favorite. (There are a great range of colors.) And don’t forget to use a night moisturizer… I’m loving the Advanced Revitalift Night Cream, it absorbs into the skin and is non-greasy. Try these for yourself….. Enjoy!!

I love make-up and with so many brands to choose from, I usually mix and match. I recently started using a lot of the NYX Cosmetics line and I did a few of the editorials for our current issue of Regard Magazine featuring this fabulous make-up line. This line is really luxurious and the variety of colors gives me endless creative choices. Here are 3 different looks you can try at home.
Plus don’t forget the importance of removing your make-up at the end of the day, ….. Check out their extra gentle but effective Eye and Lip make-up Remover.
