Grey Eyes is the New Black for Brides

This spring Chanel worked grey during their runway show. This fall grey was also found on the runways of Rag & Bone, Catherine Malandrino and Oscar De La Renta Collections. Inspired by the runway, brides are walking down the aisle with sultry, brilliant shades of grey eye shadows. Sexy shades from heather grey to deep grey will be the choice of color for many brides instead of a smoky black eye. These stunning steel and graphite tones will glisten all season long, while metallic grey eye shadows will work perfect for any evening destination wedding.

Get the above look using Sephora collection. Here’s how to achieve it using the All Over Medium Eyeshadow:
Apply R2 (Shimmer Grey) from lash lines to crease and blend over brow bones.
Apply R1 (Shimmer Black) shadow on the outer corners and blend into the crease.
Apply L1 (Matte Black) on the outer corners and fade a third of the way in.
Highlight the brow bone with L4 (Matte Cream).
Brighten the inner corners with L5 (Shimmer Pearl).
Apply the Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner in Black along the lash lines.
Finish with Atomic Volume Mascara in Ultra Black.

Checking Into REHAB

I gotta check into rehab...cuz baby MAKEUP is my disease!!!

I am doing summer cleaning today since I am home in New Orleans all week. I never got around to unpacking everything from my studio when I closed the doors at the end of Feb of this year. My husband in his BFF moved everything out the studio the day before Easter so basically my studio has been sitting in the family playroom. The kids are not to happy about it cuz they can't watch movies, play music, get on the internet or play those playstation and wii games. I been flirting with the idea every time I am home to clean in unpack but never have the time. Since this week they will be out of school I know they will want to be in this room for the summer.

So, as I clean today I keep finding makeup. Makeup stashed in bags, suitcases, bins, handbags, old makeup cases, victoria secret bag, target bags...seriously no joke. I am looking at almost $15,000 worth of makeup. Not including all my makeup that I retailed. I know I spent about $25,000 on getting that made and packaged. Now mind you, this total is NOT including my two makeup kit, my air brush kit and my duffle bag that I drag around with me everyday. This is just what I found while cleaning. I either forgot that I had it cuz I was hiding it from my husband, myself, or I just didn't have room.

What ever excuse I come up with I think I need some help, this is out of control. I can't believe in April I twisted my mouth to say to my husband I need to buy some makeup. One of my favorite makeup lines-NYX was having this crazy sale and I wanted to place an order.

Then makeup companies send me makeup to use on my celebrity clients or they sponsor makeup when I do events. I also have a suitcase full of individual and strip lashes.


When I first fell in love I never felt something so strong. Makeup was my lover and my best friend. All wrapped into one, with a ribbon on it! And I'll never give to myself to another, the way I gave it to you. Don't even recognize the ways you hit me, do you? It's gonna take a miracle to bring me back. And SEPHORA, MAC, L'OREAL, NYX, OCC, BEN NYE, SMASHBOX, MAKEUP FOREVER, your all the one to blame.

BEAUTY GOODIES: Too Faced Lip Bronzers

written by Makeup Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis


Too Faced cosmetics Summer Collection Lip Bronzers lip glosses are semi-sheer long lasting glosses. The three Lip Bronzers shades were designed to go with their Bronzed Beautiful set. Each tube contains Vitamin E, they are tropical flavored, and smell fantastic. I like that the colors can be mixed to create different shades alone or with a lipstick or lip pencil. These are great shades for the spring and summer time.

You can buy these Lip Bronzers at Sephora $17.00

Choose from the three colors are:

Pink Leopard (sparkling tan and Popsicle pink)

Snow Bunny (an icy pearl and fawn)

Sun Bunny (golden bronze and seashell beige)
