CLIENT FILES - ASHLEY

A few months ago I had the pleasure of painting the face of one of my favorite clients, Ashley.  She is serious about her fashion and is launching her business as a stylist.  She hired an amazing photographer and together they captured these amazing moments.  I absolutely love how the shots came out and I am so excited that I was able to do the makeup! 

I can't wait to paint her face again.  So amazing.

When I remember to take a picture of my work, it is a great day!  This is another one of my gorgeous clients that I absolutely loved working on!  Face is amazing.  I love that she can serve that real life BEAT.  Highlight, Contour, Red Lip Realness!

It's holiday party season around here and I've been getting pretty busy with my clients.  This was an easy fun look that I did yesterday for one of my clients and I wanted to share it with you guys.  She is so gorgeous and was giving extreme Hollywood glamour vibes.  LOVE!  On her lips we have Sephora Lip Stain #001 with MAC's Riri Woo on top.  Hope you guys enjoy this holiday season!

Cheers

Glam Sessions by Sabrina

Hey guys!  Exciting news!  I had my first solo event last month at The Honeycomb and it was amazing.  I was nervous at first because I was again having one of those day where I just didn't feel like myself, but I pressed on and had a lot of fun.

In the sold-out class I covered the steps to achieving a dewy look with sparkly eyes and nude lips.  The top 3 tips from the class (as indicated to me by the attendees) were the following:

1.  Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is an amazing makeup remover and is basically the answer to all my prayers!
2.  Paint" the eyelash band with cream eyeliner before applying false lashes 
3.  Orange/Warm correctors and concealers are amazing for covering dark circles and discoloration

I'm planning on doing another event soon and I hope it is as much fun as this one was!

Let me know if you have any fun makeup tips to share.

Retro Night at The HoneyComb in Kaiserslautern Germany

Well the retro event happened and it was pretty freakin awesome!  Now by looking at this picture, you would never know how absolutely frantic the days before and the morning of the event were for me.  Let me fill you in. 

So, my husband was working a lot (even more than usual which is amazing) and I was running the kids around to their endless activities when my "check engine" light comes on.  Stress!  So with all of this going on, I didn't have time, or the nerves, to drive around Germany with my baby in the car looking for outfits. 

A couple of days before the event, my husband took me to Primark after work and ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, the skies opened up and I was at home again!  Clothes, cute clothes, like everywhere!  I found these awesome black high waisted shorts with little hearts all over them.  I also went to H&M and I found a black turtleneck that was super affordable and the perfect material to tuck inside the shorts.  I then went to the Exchange on base and purchased some fishnet stockings.  Lastly, I've had these Marc Jacobs shoes for about 4-5 years so I dusted them off and they were the perfect compliment to my outfit!  I was super excited to finally have a complete outfit even if it didn't come together until the last possible day. 

Now on the day of the event, I forgot my belt, redid my makeup 3 times (because my concealer kept looking super crazy) and then I finally left the house in my douxrag and french braids only to find that there was construction on the autobahn and I was stuck in severe traffic!  What a day.  However, I kept a positive attitude and I finally made it to the salon to help set up, change clothes and get my hair done!  I also had to do my co-workers makeup which is always fun because she has the perfect face.

The food at the event was amazing!  There were gourmet cupcakes, mini chicken-n-waffles, signature drinks, cheddar popcorn and specialty snacks.  LOVE!

We did demos on 3 models and since I am the only makeup artist, I was working and talking the entire night.  So many people were getting involved and asking me questions that it made the night fly by.  The energy in the room was really positive and I had an awesome time.  I can't wait to do it again.

Me with two of the models from the event

This is what we call a good day ladies and gentlemen....well until I called my husband to let him know I was on my way home and he said we were out of milk for the babycakes.  So, I then had to go to the gas station on base in retro booty shorts and fishnets!  Yup, I got a lotta looks that night but hey whatever right!

Cheers!

Hey guys, I wanted to show you the last bareMinerals duo that I purchased from Ulta but I need to retake the pictures  because they didn't come out that well. 

Since that is in works, I decided to show you guys a photo sneak peak from the photoshoot that I did makeup for.  This was a personal photoshoot for the friend of the photographer so I got to play around with some color and this is the result!  Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Photo Shoot Fresh!

A few days ago, I had the amazing opportunity to do a photoshoot with an awesome photogapher here in Germany.  I was a little under the weather but there was no way I could cancel on this!  I took some Dayquil, grabbed my throat lozenges, my Zuca and I hurried out into the snow!  I'm planning on launching my online portfolio soon so I thought I would share some of the photos with you guys since the site isn't up yet.  Hope you like it!

I absolutely loved working with Maria and you can check out her photography page here.  Daniella (the first model shown) also has a photography business and takes amazing pictures.  Both of the models are absolutely gorgeous and I loved doing their makeup!  Maria also convinced me to step in front of the camera and here is a picture!

Thanks for stopping by!

Makeover - Clementine

A couple of days ago, I did a makeup trial for a client of mine for her upcoming celebration that she is hosting.  Today we did the final look and I'll post that as soon as I get the pictures.

Here are some pictures of the trial.   We did two different eye looks to see which one she would like better.  She chose the one on the left and we went with that today, although I jazzed it up a bit.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Makeover - Catherine

The other day I did a mini makeover on my friend Catherine.  She has a beautiful face and gorgeous green eyes so we thought it would be fun to do a little makeover.  Also, I am working on my portfolio so I am getting as much experience as possible working with different photographers and Catherine is an amazing photographer.  She took some awesome photographs, I asked her if I could share them and she said yes!

Oh and check out her BLOG, you will be amazed!
