Portfolio: Part 2

Technically, my first portfolio! More fam & friends, this is before the lash phase!

Aveeno Skin Care

Aveeno is a product that I use everyday in conjunction with my revitalizing mask from Mary Kay. When I do not feel like going through the entire 3 step regimen I use the facial products. I am not going to name one in Particular. Look at this summary and then browse the site. Enjoy!!!

Fun Partnership


If you are a lame like me & watch Super Sweet Sixteen, you might remember Richie Rich and Traver Rains, the ÜBER crazy brainchildren behind Teyana Taylor's 80's inspired dress.

Before that, they became staples in the design industry and on the NY party scene.

Now, they are teaming up with MAC! "The usual maquillage suspects: lipstick, nail polish, base and eyeshadow, all encased in hot, hot, hot pink packaging."

Should be out next month!

Check out HollywoodLife for more info

Fafi for M.A.C

So rumors have been swirling in the make-up industry about this highly anticipated line, Fafi.

It is inspired by the French pop graffiti artist, Fafi, it will have bright eyeshadow pigments & "girly lips".

To hit a MAC counter near you just in time for Valentine's Day!
This site offers a pretty thorough review:


Mary Kay Skincare



Never expect to have flawless skin without an awesome skincare regimen. I think this one is pretty amazing. The products are non-comodegenic, Oil Free, and hypo-allergenic. Take a look at my favorite skincare product out of the classic skincare series. Its nicely priced and well worth it!!!!

Original Fierceness!

I would like to say that this collections truly embodies the word "color". From the lip sticks to the glitter. This line is made to feel like a rockstar. Some of my favorites out of the collection is the :
"Twig, Twig" Lipstick
"full on lust" Tinted Lipglass
Parrot, Ochre Style, A Little Folie, and Clue Eye Shadow-
"Reflects Antique Gold" Glitter-

Portfolio: Expect More

I have overcome technical difficulties: so here is one of my portfolios. This is from a shoot last month.

Big ups to my girls for being guinea pigs: Dana, Britt, Endea, Kari, and Jennifer.

My focus was on the eyes and the lashes, which I am a fan of!

Chicago Makeup Artist Bring Simplicity to Primping

Latoya De'Shaun Washington's passion for flashing came along three years ago as a student at the University of Illinois.
After completing a bachelor's degree in Advertising, Washington moved back to her hometown Chicago, where she freelances for high profile cosmetic line.

Her passion stems from natural beauty inside and out. Makeup is an enhancement of the way you feel about yourself. "For makeup to truly rock the world, we must proudly accept and publicize our beauty and then when there's nothing left, take it to the next level."

The Art of Makeup
To enhance beauty with makeup means accepting
that you are naturally beautiful.

Favorite Technique
"Applying foundation with a finisher with an awesome 239 and 129 M.A.C. brush"

Most Important Tool
"Soft and full brushes to ensure that foundation is spread throughout and to create more of an airbrushed looked."

Favorite M.A.C. Recommendation
The paint and paint pigments. "I cannot live without them. They are great for applying to the skin before eye shadow as well as in conjunction with eye shadow."

Favorite Feature
The skin-Simply beautiful!
