Brows; The Good, The Bad and The Scary!!!

These are the people that rock my world! Eyebrows that are awe striking and OMG WTF was that?"" inducing! Here are some fun interpretations of eyebrows and a few tips on keeping the frame of your face showing off the beautiful art work of you!!! Tell me which ones are your favsies!!

Let's take a look at a symetrical eyebrow shape. Looking good is based on symetry and balance. It's science yo!

Smoldering! His brows would fail what I call the sweater test. If I brushed them down (put the sweater on) the hair would cover his eyes like a wheaton terrier. Damn I want to thread that middle sooo bad!

I'd have to get seriously Edward Scissor Hands on this right here!

What did his eyebrows ever do to him huh? Brows like this make his eyes even closer together. Tsk tsk tsk!

I don't even believe these are shaved off. This girl knows what's up right? She really wakes up very early every morning to seal and cover her brows with liquid latex yeah? Glue stick? No one would ever SERIOUSLY do this right?

Can these girls rock me any harder??? This is how they "jump you in"

Ok so maybe it was botox gone askew. What can we do to even these puppies out? First we have to pick the one that we like better, ok um.......Well let's start actually with the the one we can most like make more like it's sister. The one on her right will have to come down and the left one we would have to attepmt to arch up a bit. If you have an enveveness problem by all means BOOK with me now. These are my favorite types of eyebrows to play with!!!!!

Collin's got a bit of an unveneness problem as well. Of course thick gorgeous brows are coveted and they're most people's "thing" and reason why they don't get them done, but COME ON!!!!! One is clearly bigger than it's polio stricken lil bro. Collin, book with me STAT!!

Oh Brokki poo, yes you're known for your bodacious brows but who was this makeup artist that didnt notice the uneven moves these bad boys were making? I would just slightly grind down a smidge the front part of her right brow. Voila! They aren't thinner or compromising of the shape! BAMN!

You know what? I embrace this eye brow look. Do what makes you feel good. But if having these brows and swimming are your thing, you can never have both : (

I love him! His brows are so very ",broken handle off of a 1950's kitchen silverware drawer." Those things are perfect for opening beers if you've lost an opener! My favoie thing is his blonde roots growing out. Respect him people. He has to really work at this look!

Opulen's Beauty & Fashion Soiree

Attempting to make it big in LA's makeup world means sticking your fingers in any pies that will further your making friends with people who are into. I joined Opulen Photography & Event Studio (http://opulenstudios.com/ ) to aid in promotions and event planning. I joined the Opulen team with marketing extraordinaire Patty Nak and DJ Steve Huerta (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Steve-Huerta/334705859885421?ref=ts&__adt=3). This past Friday was our first event. We contacted and courted vendors, beauticians and brought together the most talented group. Her are a few photos from the event.

Weekend Photoshoots!

What does one do when you're a makeup artist in LA on a warm March Saturday? A Beverly Hills photo shoot complete with Playboy bunnies and Maxim bombshells! Hot shirtless studs (oh yeah, I call em studs)playing volley ball. Models in the mineral bath, massive open self serve bar, an aviary! Parrots with the run of the house? It was one ferris wheel and a lama away from the Neverland Ranch. Apparantly Eddie Murphy owned this house 8 years ago and is now owned by a Mobile Home Park owner billionaire who likes to host these weekend photo shoots for LA's hottest photogs looking to update their books. It's also another great way to have Russian beauties lounge at the pool. So here is an inside look at how a billionaire spends a Saturday.

I could sing in here forever!

This is Aleksandra from Ukraine. What a doll! MM# ‎1558546

This was her second makeup look. I added a frosty green lid some Ben Nye orange cheek and lip. I wanted to bring on some funk to this breezy spring look. The dress designs are brought to you by the talented May Salem of Native Sol (http://www.nativesol.org/)
