I finally have a studio! No, it's not in my house. I am so excited to present it. Today will be my first gig in my new studio. I plan on making a few changes to the rest of the space but here is my vanity area!
The address for my studio is:
8425 Kingston Pike
Knoxville, TN
Located in the Walker Springs Shopping center, right beside Rugged Wearhouse & the Rush. Studio is located inside of the Premier Martial Arts building.
Also, eyebrow threading will be available soon!
Hey, Everyone. I just got home from dropping business cards at several businesses in Knoxville. Community networking is a great way to trade business and market with other local businesses. It's excellent for reaching out to new clients. I collected business cards and plan on putting them in a prefered vendors list and displaying them in my soon-to-be studio.
If you are a local business that is interested in community networking give me a call at 951.595.1101. We can trade business cards and fliers to reach Knoxville and surrounding areas!
I am obsessed with having clean, sanitary products, whether it be make-up or the brushes I use to apply it.
Here are my steps to clean brushes:
1. I turn the water on hot and rinse the brushes.
2. One by one I apply shampoo to each brush and work up a lather. I use Just the Basics for dry hair which can be purchased at CVS for under $3.
3. I rinse each brush with warm water to get them clean and then switch the water to cold to make them soft.
4. After I wash them, I squeeze the excess water out and rub the hair of each brush on a towel to dry them a bit.
5. Lastly, I shape them, lay them all out on a towel and let the brushes dry for several hours.
*Tip- Cream, gel, or liquid products are tough to clean off your brushes. Try squeezing a small amount of shampoo onto your palm and rub the hairs back and forth to dilute the product.
I haven't posted in a while. Shame on me. I wish I had good solid content to provide you guys with.
I am waiting for some professional pictures to be sent to me from a shoot last month...
No excuses!
But here is some make-up I did on beautiful Kayla. The look I was going for was subtle and natural. I wish the lighting wasn't so terrible!
I am turning my spare bedroom into an in home studio. I see this more and more common for freelance make-up artists and photographers. It's a great way to save money (instead of spending $ on a lease) and have a "home" for some of my make-up gigs.
My colors will most likely be purple, white, black and a hint of mint green (since one of the walls is already mint).
Here are some inspiration pictures:
Face charts are so fun to make! They.are excellent for practice and coming up with concepts!
Viva Glam Nicki is a bright, vibrant flamingo pink. I wouldn't call it a neon. The lipstick has no shimmers or irredecent tones. Viva Glam Nicki is so creamy and pigmented! If you have ultra pale or super tan skin it stands out even more! To mute the color, pair it with a nude lipliner and a clear gloss. You can find Viva Glam Nicki at most MAC counters or stores for $14.50.
I forgot to mention all proceeds from this lipstick goes to AIDS research! Support a good cause AND look fabulous!
