Are you ready? Are you ready to get makeup tips and beauty advice that will deliver your best?
Great! There is just one thing you will have to get a hold of. Here is is. If you really want great results, maybe even your best results, from your makeup efforts, you will have to wrap your head around the notion that it's going to take a little time and effort.
I know, I know, "makeup tips" sounds so short, quick and on your
way. Well, the truth is you are going to have to decide whether
you want to "inch" along to great makeup, or take big leaps.
(By the way, that great beauty and style you've been admiring on your co-worker? She wasn't born with it. It didn't just magically happen. Her secret? Time and effort. She most definitely used a little brain power to come up with a plan of how she wanted to look, and then put in the time and effort in to make it happen.)
This site is about helping you get the kind of beauty results that
you thought were maybe just out of your reach. I want to help
you get on the right track
to your own waiting, amazing beauty results.

Wearing makeup
is not about the pursuit of perfect
beauty.
There is no perfect beauty. If you are chasing perfect beauty,
you are chasing an illusion.
Somewhere a long the way, we stopped seeing fashion magazine ads and
editorials etc as artistic sources of style and beauty
inspiration. Instead, they became a beauty standard. The problem
with using those resources as a standard is, the
beauty you are trying to measure up to, is unattainable.
Ask any
model, makeup artist or photographer. Each image you see is the
product of a
fleeting moment, of right light, right position, right props, right
graphics, right makeup... the conditions of "right" goes on.
Whatever you wear, including makeup, should be about personal
and/or creative expression. There is far greater pleasure in the
process, and reward in the results.
After life as a professional model, exposure to many talented
individuals in the art of makeup, hair, fashion, photography and
advertising, years
of sharing beauty advice and experimenting with many looks, on myself
and others, I have come to realize the most powerful beauty in real
life, comes from the presence of authenticity.
Makeup design and application skill are important but they are
secondary to how much synergy your style choices have with you and who you are;
(*Synergy is a concept that describes elements working together
especially well, where the end result is greater than the sum of
their parts.)
The advice you will receive here includes great makeup tips and lots
of other beauty information, but my biggest hope is for you to find
your own special beauty synergy.
This site is written to help you find a makeup style that will be
true to you, express what you want to communicate about yourself, and make you feel great. Its
for natural beauties and divas alike. Inspiration is
everywhere.
Fashion magazines, celebrity style, what you see on the 'streets', on
line resources, all provide great resources for ideas.
Take those inspirations, make them your own. I'll be here to help.
