Boudoir Archives

Monday March 22, 2010

Amanda came to the studio for her wedding hair and makeup and came back a couple of days later, this time to get ready for her boudoir photoshoot.  So FUN!  She wanted a strong eye and lips with a fun off to the side curly pony that she would eventually take down for her change of looks.  The straight bangs are so darling.

Love the smokey eyes, false lashes and red lips

On her cheeks, I used my new favorite MAKEUP FOREVER HD blush.

Congratualtions Amanda wishing you and your husband a lifetime of happiness. Don’t forget to come back for a visit when the little is here! :heart:

Sweet tooth the size of Africa…

…I kid you not. I’ve been quiet involved in my kitchen today (baked ziti, garlic bread for tonight) but I’m *most* looking forward to try a classic Spanish flan recipe that’s just about done.

Enough with my sweet tooth, how’s your Monday treating you so far?  Are you at work or at play?

Have a great one.

Ashley is a regular client of the studio that I just love!  So when she ask me if I would do her hair and makeup for a boudoir session I was thrilled!  She made a gorgeous book filled with stunning images taken by Julie and gave it as a Christmas present to her hubby.  Nice!

These are some of my favorites, although it was hard to choose.

These boudoir photos make great gifts for others or yourself and are so much fun!  All our clients truly love the outcome and so do we.

As y’all know I love boudoir and I’m a huge fan of Ms. Kyla. Can you say HAWT??? (oh, and if anybody knows where I can buy a bottie like that, lette’me know) :biggrin:

Julie and I always have such a blast with these sessions.  We work closely to make them fun and comfortable, I do the hair and makeup styling, she shoots.  We offer several packages.  Get in touch!

What’s shakin on this Monday morning?  How was everyone’s weekend?  Ours was BUSYBUSYBUSY!  Totaling 7 weddings plus Lily Tomlin’s hair and makeup on Sunday for her TV appearance we had a blast.  Lily never had airbrush makeup If you can believe that, and absolutely loved the end result — She gave me a hug!

A huge thanks to all my staff.  Amanda and Tony Michelle for a flawless start at the Casa Marina, and to my beloved Kim a double thank you for helping me make it happened with timelines.  You guys ROCK!!!!! :heart:

I soon as I saw Anne I knew she would be perfect in red and black and rock out the most awesome Pin up Christmas session!

I wanted a strong emphasize on both eyes and lips.  I Heavily smoked Anne’s eyes to make their crystal blue color really pop.  The lips were first lined then filled with a cherry red liner, followed by an INTENSE red gloss.  All the makeup was MAKEUP FOREVER.

Before starting on the makeup I put hot rollers in Anne’s hair.  I wanted somethinbg big and messy, she had the dream hair for that look.

Another great session with Julie (Studio Julie presents Pink Light District)  We had a blast!

Live gorgeously.

Getting Cara ready for her boudoir session with Studio Julie was so much fun.  She was all about being a pin up, I was in heaven.

When she arrived at the studio I put her in hot rollers, then proceeded to airbrush the foundation.
For the eyes, I brushed all over the lids a Yabi pearly white eye shadow.
In the crease, I used MAC espresso and a tad of Paradiso to warm it up slightly.  Go light on the crease you don’t want to see too much color just some definition.
I lined the eyes with MAC penultimate in black (I love that liquid liner –  review coming soon) and extended the line to attain a winged up tip.  I dabbed a black powder over the liquid liner to smooth out any imperfections.
For the bottom, I used the same black shadow.
I placed some false eyelashes and a light coat of mascara, filled Cara’s brow with a dark brown powder; I would have preferred to make them stronger, but I think it would have been too much for her — this was a nice compromise.  On the cheeks I swiped a very light pink .

I first lined then filled her entire lips with Make Up Forever Aqua Lip Waterproof Lipliner Pencil in 8C, followed by Make Up Forever lipstick in Hollywood Red 206.

Cara au naturel

In hot rollers.  Make-up is done.

After removing the rollers I teased the base of the curls, being careful not to break them apart too much.

Cara ready to have so fun.

Here’s a great tutorial:
