Poetic Music Video I worked on; ANOTHER HELL by Daughn Gibson

I had so much fun working on this amazingly dark, poetic, emotion filled music video in some crazy locations, with such a talented team!! It was an honor to work with brilliant London Director Saam Faramand saamfarahmand.com and also do do Daughn Gisbon's daughngibson.com grooming for this video which we shot on the outskirts of California.


The video got featured on Dazed Digital, where Saam talks about his inspirations and how the video came about.

Oscars 2013 Beauty Recap

There were SO many beautiful women last night!! Its so hard to choose just a few! But here are some of my favorite beauty looks from last night. A lot of flawless skin, more focus on the eyes with a nude or natural lip.
I had a blast doing Hair & Makeup for Laine Craft before she headed over to the Red Carpet to interview the stars!


Kerry Washington's dress at the Oscars was my favorite! So stunning. Catherine Jeta Jones looked ageless and so sexy!


I had the pleasure of assisting the amazing Makeup Artist Amy Nadine and touching up fellow New Zealander Anna Paquin.
I love this flawless look that Amy created, and the twisted crown hair style looks awesome on her!

Who ever Adelle's team is for Hair & Makeup they are the BOMB and always do such a flawless job on her, everytime I see her!!

"Your Art = letting others get a taste of what's in your soul"

Inspo for the Day

Got this following message in my Inbox this morning, I love to be inspired and study greatness DAILY! So this really inspired me and made me think. I love doing Makeup because I love to truly connect with other people on a deep level, our eyes are the window to our souls, our faces are what we show the world. I love to help others look their best and present themselves in an awesome way! Makeup is a beautiful way to enhance our features and add color to our faces.




True Security | by Brian Johnson

“Superheroes see attachment to the known as a false sense of security and recognize that the striving for security (our traditional understanding of power) is, ironically, the basis of all insecurity. Superheroes do what needs to be done with impeccability and the highest motivation for the greatest good and leave the results to the unknown. Their focus is on the action, not the fruits of the action.” ~ Deepak Chopra with Gotham Chopra from The Seven Spiritual Laws of Superheroes

Elizabeth Olsen

Right now I have a girl crush on Elizabeth Olesen!
She is stunning, I love how she does her Makeup & Hair!
(She is the sister of Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen.)

She does a lot of neutral toned smokey eyes or just a winged line with a nude lip and some bronzer. Simple, classic & stunning!

I love this look and do it on myself pretty much every day with a smokey eye and nude lips. ;)

Natural Beauty~ Makeup By Me

Sometimes LESS is so much MORE ;)

I had the pleasure of getting this stunning young bride Brittany ready for her wedding out in beautiful Wine Country, California.
I drove nearly 100 miles to get there!

She wanted something very natural, requested air brush makeup, matte nude colors & a nude lip, so that's what I did! I really see my work as a collaboration with my clients and designing the look together for their unique face, style & what makes them feel most beautiful.

On Brittany I used;
Face- I misted on a sheer cover of Dinair Airbrush system.
Cheeks- a matte bronzer by NARS.
Eyes- Costal Scents eyeshadow palette in matte neutral brown shades, MUFE Aqualiner, Waterproof mascara. Individual lashes by Ardelle.
Lips- I actually used a Creme blush by Stila that was matte.




So blessed and LOVE to do the work that I do!~

Victoria Secret Fashion Show!

I LOVED all the beautiful flower, nature and plant outfits we saw on this years Victoria Secret's Fashion Show in NYC!
Here are some of my favorite looks!!

I love how the Makeup & Hair all of the Victoria Secret Fashion Shows, Advertising, Commercials etc is always very classic, clean, natural and beautiful.

Here is some products I recommend if you would like to enhance your natural Beauty like the Victoria Secret Angels ;)

I am a HUGE fan of their Makeup, and everything else of course. But the quality is really good, and the mascara as ive mentioned before is so amazing!! Also it is very affordable!!

Your Reality Reflects back what you Believe ;)

Your reality reflects back to you your consciousness and what you secretly believe about yourself.

Its all about our perception & projection, its so funny when people ask me to do a "Smokey eye" but every single persons view of what a smokey eye is, can be VERY different! Its all about our own perceptions. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Try walking around like you are the most beautiful person you know and see if you day changes for the better!!
