Makeup Monday | Santa Clara Bay Area Photographer

Hello Dolls!!!! Mari here with an awesome and exciting makeup review.

Who doesn’t love finding great new makeup products with amazing color pay off at amazing price points??! Not many people know about this brand yet and I DON’T KNOW WHY!!!!?? It’s called Colour Pop, and all items are only $5.00. Yes, I said $5.00!!!!!! We know being here in Cali, especially Bay Area, we can definitely appreciate a good deal since everything is buku expensive here lol.

I have used lippies and eye shadows so far.
Let me start by saying the shadows are a creme to powder formula which is so easy to apply a light wash of color with a soft brush or pack on the pigment with your finger tip or a firm, flat brush. I definitely added some of these to my makeup artist kit! I highly suggest you wear an eye shadow primer for a longer wear (8-10 hrs), with out primer I did notice some fade out and some light creasing (4-5 hrs).

Lippies is what they call their chubby lip pencil. 🙂 So cute!! These lippies take the  place of lipsticks in beautiful satin and matte finishes with a great wearability. Touch ups on lips for me was about 3-4 hrs apart. Not bad right??!

Take some time to check out their site and see the beautiful summer collection they have!

Fashion Friday | San Jose & Campbell Boudoir Photographer

Hey all, Devon here with another Fashion Friday. When I saw this set I knew that it would be perfect for this weeks edition. It goes perfectly with the show special that Boudoir Coterie will be offering at the Curvy Girl Lingerie Fashion Show.

We Heart Curves

 

These are some great options for your boudoir session. With booking the show special you bring 3 outfits to be photographed in. One of those outfits can be a white sheet session if you would like. Who doesn’t look good lying naked on a bed with a sheet strategically draped over them 😉

 

I love that it gives you several ideas of 4 different options. Of course you do not have to use these ideas, go with what you feel comfortable and sexy in! A robe or see through lace top like in the top photos. A sexy brief & bra set like in the next set of photos. A corset which is sure to show off your girls and curvy waistline (if you choose to bring a corset or a garter belt, make sure you bring stockings to go with them! Please stay away from the stay ups as those are difficult to fit into the snap on the garter strap).  A tank or cami set is another nice option for those who might feel a little shy. Let’s face it, there are some nerves happening when you are wearing next to nothing in front of someone you’ve never meet who is yielding a camera!

 

Whatever you outfits you decide on, remember that you can schedule a wardrobe consultation with Danea, and what better place to go that Curvy Girl Lingerie in our own backyard. Danea & Chrystal will help you choose the perfect outfits for your sexy photo session.

Hello dolls!!! Mari here with makeup Monday!

So, eyes are the windows to our soul right?! And those brows are the frames to that pretty face. Today we talk about brow basics. How many times do we see a beautiful face or great makeup and see some questionable brows? Sometimes we might not know where a brow should start. Where does the arch go? How long should the brow be? Well I’m here to help you out with that!

Let’s start with some basic TIPS. A nice, fuller brow will always give us a more youthful look. Let’s think back to our early years before the tweezing began lol.  An overly arched brow will give you that evil queen look, we definitely DON’T want that! The biggest brow NO NO as a professional makeup artist are those spaced out brows; when they are over tweezed in the center, making the brows and eyes look too far apart.
Here’s a handy little grid to show you how a brow should frame the eye. Take an eye shadow brush and hold it against your eye to follow the grid lines of where to start the brow, where the arch goes, and where it should end. Pretty easy once you follow this!!! Fill in with pencil or powder and work on letting those brows grow in where necessary!

Fashion Friday | Santa Cruz Bay Area Photographer

Hi ladies! Devon here with this weeks Fashion Friday. I’m so excited to share some ideas with you today. And actually I’m going to be sharing them with you every week as I’ll now be authoring all the Fashion Friday posts.

Today I thought it would be nice to show some examples of the outfits Danea suggested for the new 2015 Summer Special.

Danea’s first suggestion was a little black dress. Who doesn’t have at least one LBD in their closet? I know I have at least 3! Everyone loves a little black dress because it helps us feel a bit sexy and a bit sassy.

 

Little Black Dress

Don’t forget your favorite stiletto’s and that statement piece of jewelry. If your shoes aren’t black that’s ok. Who doesn’t love a pop of color with a black dress.

Next up we have the gowns. We all have at least one fancy dress that we wore to that wedding and now it just sits in the closet gathering dust?! Short, long, tea length, whatever yours looks like, if it makes you feel good then bring it!

Gown

 

You know that one pair of jeans you have? THAT ONE PAIR that fits so well it hugs every curve of your body and you make you feel amazing. We wanna see them! Your favorite jeans will look great paired with your favorite blouse and some cute ankle booties.

I came across this pin on Pinterest (I’m addicted!) and thought this was a great time to pass this information along to you. The tips are pretty helpful, but of course do what you feel looks best for you and your body type. You can read the full article here.

I hope this helps you ladies plan your outfits for the Summer Special. I know what’s going through your head right now, “My jeans would look great with that blouse in my closet and I have the perfect shoes”. Call us today and show them off!

Happy Tushy Tuesday everyone!

White and Red.

I really like how her nails pop on these cute boy cut panties. This style panty is a guy favorite. I have had some many men confess that they like the little bit of cheekiness they give and that they prefer them over thong.

And that was your fun fact for the day. You’re welcome. Hahahaha
