Wedding

this is a before and after of miss sybil, a bride i did this month. nothing too drastic, just classic and clean.

Crazy ivans

This is the lead singer for the crazy ivans from Dallas/F.W., they came in to H-town to perform at Fitzgerald's the other night, so they stopped by the store and I did her eyes. The color of her eyes is just screaming next to that u.v. purple, huh? it's the coolest color combo I have fallen into, Stars n' Rockets over any black liner, it just screams out at you!

Car rides

Many a great look has been captured at random intersections on my way
to work. Its pretty funny, I'm snapping' away trying to get a nice
angle going, the right light (should I open the sun roof?), pose or
natural, is my finger in the right spot ( I take pictures with my
iPhone), when I look over and someone is staring at me, kinda
smirking. I know they're wondering what on earth I'm doing. But, it's fun and keeps me motivated to try new and great things! Enjoy some looks from the past.
MELi

In the BIG time...

So, I did make-up for an artist nominated and performing at the Latin Grammy's today. It was very chill, but at the same time a bit rushed, as they didn't allow quite enough time for her to get done, but it came out nice. She was quite particular on how she liked her eyes done, so that was the most meticulous thing. But the experience was pleasant, and, of course, in true MELi style I didn't take any pictures of her or with her, like I mentioned it was all pretty rushed. That is something I need to work on, making sure I take pictures everywhere I go and of all the work that I do. It's one of the main reasons for this blog, to motivate me to keep track of my work. So, we'll see just how well I remember to do so.

Day-2-Day

It's a Wednesday, and I don't work. So, pretty much my look is simple, super natural. I just have a few errands to run, since our ultrasound (in which we were gonna find out the gender) has been rescheduled to December. I was super bummed when they told me yesterday, I cried a little ( so emotional right now). I had just really hyped myself up to find out, but, like my husband reassured me, at least we already know that, so far, we are having a healthy baby, which is the most important thing.

The look:
Eyes- Painterly Paint Pot- all over
Naked Lunch- highlight, Retrospeck- lids, Wedge- crease, Showstopper- outer crease
Black Russian Pearlglide Liner ( oh so fabulous, creamy, super long lasting)
Dazzlelash mascara
Face- Prep+ Prime Skin ( never leave home without it)
Hyper Real foundation ( so sad it's being discontinued)
Ladyblush cremeblush
Mineralize Skinfinish
Lips- Subculture Lipliner, Myth Satin lipstick



All products I use are MAC, but I'll make a note in case it is otherwise.
If you have any questions on application or technique let me know.

Welcome!

Hi there!
My name is Meli, and I have decided to keep a log of my little adventures in hair and make-up, as well as my soon-2-b motherly duties. I am a 24 yr old, 5 months pregnant, rapidly growing in the make-up company I work for, and always playing with hair when I get a chance. I plan on posting all my experiments and transformation before and afters, as well as my day-2-day looks. So keep up, and I promise to do so as well. It should be an interesting ride!
