Product of the Week!


Although tis the season to be on the drier side, sometimes you just can't get away from using a tad of powder...it may be to set your concealer, or to add that last bit of coverage around your nose, or to help lock whatever make up you have on your face...IN. The search for the perfect powder is always in motion, I like to actually not see make up on the skin, I like to see well just...perfectly even skin. However with that being said what you see and what you get can be two different things. The better your skin is- the less foundation, concealer, powder...you need. In real life, you use only what you need. In photography, you use a bit more "coverage"...in a wedding, you have to mix both worlds. Since so much of our work is weddings, we are always on the hunt for the best of the best and we stay LOYAL to them. Getting me to try something new is never a problem on say me or one of my friends, but I have to say, I stick to what I KNOW when working with one of my Brides! I have been a big fan of 2 powders for a while now...Laura Mercier's Translucent Powder and T Le Clerc's powders...love love them!

Enter a new fav....drumroll, pluuuuuleaze!

Make Up Forever HD Microfinishing Powder! I have used this before and remember liking it alot, and I was reintroduced a few weeks back and all the memories came flooding back...just kidding, it wasn't that emotional, but close. I used their loose powder and rocked it over an already made face with a velour puff...ahhh, it looked like the skin of Miss Hathaway. Oh la la...perfection. Keep this in mind as we creep into the spring and summer months...it's addictive and don't say I didn't warn you!!

Product of the Week!


Tried a new product this weekend and loved it...Cosmedicine's Medi Matte ROCKS! It is a mister spray of a mattifying solution that will lock in your make up and leave a velvety, matte finish to your face! Perfect for all you oily peeps out there, and for normal skin types, in hot and humid weather! It is such a fine mist with a huge range, that you barely feel it going on, but it works and gets my vote! They carry this fabulous line in several places, I found this in our local Ulta. Check it out...and PS, they have a fantastic matte tinted moisturizer with SPF!!! Have that in your bag of tricks for the summer time!
