Beauty makeup is for everyone, and I loved getting to paint this sweetheart. Great way to start the New Year, but of course I forgot to post it until now 😂

This beauty is one of my nearest and dearest. We met on my first day of classes at UMD, and we've been besties ever since. She was one of the first people I ever did makeup on and it gets better every time 👌🏻

Grungy smokey eye inspired by the @kevynaucoin book Making Faces (pg. 69)
.
.
.
Kept the skin prep from Johnny's headshots and challenged myself to take the clean, no-makeup look and make it grungy and dramatic quickly (my co-workers know I can be fussy and take too much time on certain looks 🙄). I'm proud to say I added the eye makeup and amped up the complexion all in less than fifteen minutes!

With a dress like this, a red-carpet-ready look was required. The fabric also inspired me to give a little nod to the colorful eye looks that popped up on several SS19 runways. (esp. Georgio Armani, Missoni, and Rodarte)
