Turn Up the Heat!

MAKEUP FOR THE HEAT!

Spring is finally here, and the last couple of days I have been on several shoots. It’s funny, but there are a few questions I keep getting asked! The most frequent ones are,
“Due to the HOT CALIFORNIA WEATHER", what stylish look can I wear in the heat?! I want to accent my eyes without wearing a lot of makeup because it’s too HOT, any suggestions?! What’s a good makeup for the "NO MAKEUP" look?!”

No worries ladies! I can relate to both the East and West Coast. Originally from Miami, FL where the humidity, heat and rain at times can be unbearable, to LA, where you have the dessert, dry and sunny California environment. I am about to answer all of your questions!
So... here are some easy “To Do” makeup’s looks that are off, as well as on, the Fashion Runways! That you can try at home and will not be melting off in the SPRING HEAT!

To achieve most of these looks:
First, use Powder or Tinted Moisturizers, depending on the humidity in your city. Next, apply a good coat of Mascara on your top lashes by itself…and for a more dramatic effect, try putting a coat on the bottom as well. Last a neutral/natural lip color of your choice…Lip Pencil, Stick or Gloss will do!

For those of you who may want to “step it up a notch”, and need/want to add a little color and spice! Use the above look as a base, then take the next step, and add some color with eye shadow. Now’s the time to try a spring color such as pink, lavender or teal! For some inspiration, take a look!!

Overall, this spring keep it Clean and Simple!!!

ASSISTANT'S LIST!

MY MAKEUP ASSISTANT AD!

Hey Guys! Well this was a first for me, as you know I had posted an Ad for a "Makeup Assistant" from my blog. I had no idea I was going to get the overwhelming response that I did!

I wanted to THANK EVERYONE THAT APPLIED!!!

Not everyone is able to have an Assistant, and we all know to be a good Assistant takes a lot of patience. Just make sure that when you sign up to assistant you know exactly what kind of job you are signing up for. In my opinion, an Assistant’s job is to “HELP” whenever and to do whatever may be asked of them pertaining to the job.

Yes, this may sound simple, but not everyone understands this concept! But, I will say, I TRULY enjoy working with my Makeup Assistants that I work with now... I am looking forward to working with the new chosen Makeup Assistant from the Ad I posted, and the many to come in the near future.

Of course, I wish I could work with all of you! But do know, with future projects I have everyone’s contact information on file as well as the posted comments. For the small network of makeups artists that I could not take with me, I’d like to remind you that you may possibly be showcased for someone else that needs a Makeup Assistant and reads my blog!

This was blasted so that my fellow Makeup Artists are recognized from my blog!

If you are one of those people looking for a Makeup Assistant, take a look at some of these great MAKEUP ARTISTS!!!

Here's a little about myself, I've been doing makeup for 16 years. Like you, I'm also from Miami (Kendall!)I worked for Telemundo/NBC for 8 years. Then I decided to moved to L.A. in '08 and do makeup for film. Unfortunately, the film industry as you may know is very slow so I've decided to venture out into the video/commercial/fashion world once again. I saw your craigslist ad and became very interested in being your assistant on this coming Tue. I would love the opportunity to be able to work with you. Hope we get a chance to meet soon. -Claudia Londono

Maria Kanellis


Beauty, Brains… and Wrestling?
As a kid growing up, I remember my brother and I watching the WWF with Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and the many greats! I never would have thought someday I would have the chance to work for a professional wrestler!

You never know where beauty pops up!

Yours truly had the pleasure of working with world renowned Maria Kanellis! Most of you may recognize her as the most famous female wrestling personality in the WWE. She was also voted the “Fans Choice” of the WWE Universe for WWE’s Diva of the Year in 2009. But did you all know this sexy wrestling bombshell is an actress, as well as a great singer?

That is right!! Talk about having it all!! Currently you will find Maria Kanellis as a cast member on the upcoming NBC hit series “The Celebrity Apprentice. And with her busy schedule, is also releasing her first Rock EP album “Seven Sins” to be released April 13th on ITunes. All I can say about Maria Kanellis is that she is a “Fanminal” woman in all facets of the word! Not only should you all take a look at the fabulous Makeup, Hair, and Photography, but be sure to check out her music and support her on Itunes.

Here is a look at behind the scenes with Larissa, Jessica, Me and the talented Maria Kanellis…

TWITTER PRODUCTS

At first I was not sure about Twitter, but I have to say it is great!

Twitter. Makeup. Beauty. What?

You are probably thinking what does Twitter have to do with makeup or beauty? But the truth is Twitter is a great resource to find many things in the beauty world; as well as others!

Why? Because it provides a great way to know what's going on in the industry (whatever industry you are in) from insiders and experts (then again, what qualifies someone as an expert?). You can find out what products makeup, hair and wardrobe stylists are using. You can find out about brands and new lines people may have not yet heard of. Overall, it can be a great resource, as I just found some new beauty resources that are great! You should check them out as well!

I'll keep you posted on how well this works, but check out:


This Perfect Balance Concealer and Highlighter trio by Raw
Natural Beauty! It's interesting... it comes in Light, Medium, & dark for only $38.00. www.rawnaturalbeauty.com





Now, what do artists love?
A GREAT beauty supply store!

At Beauty Makeup Supply (BMS) you may find retail and wholesale pricing for quality cosmetic jars, bottles, cosmetic and skincare products. Nail items as well! www.beauty-makeup-supply.com


And last, a new line I am looking forward to trying, FACE atelier!
They have an Ultra blush with silicones that enables it to go on smoothly while at the same time creating a barrier between the powder and the skin $25.00 I am excited!!!



As always, I will keep you posted!

Check me out on Twitter as well www.twitter.com/makeuupsamelia And if you are not on Twitter? Well, you may want to give that a second thought and give it a look!
