A DAWN BRIDAL EDITORIAL SHOOT A series of images shot at dawn back in late fall/early winter in Franklin TN. Steve is an amazing photographer and has nudged me into dawn shoots - which is a miracle, in and of itself getting to the studio to do makeup and hair at 4 am to get to shoot the dawn light. Brave model Lauren Staggs is perfection. I chose pastel makeup colors for the cool dawn light to warm colors to compliment the fall colors in the background. I love these images.

January is sometimes a little .... hard - you're not tan enough and your hair is a bit drier. like your skin. The winter blahs set in for some of us - next to a month long vaca in Miami, which sounds AMAZING! I highly recommend considering upping your beauty tricks - namely add a little color and maybe change up some of your products. These are a few of my favorite POSH brands - of course there are many price points from other wonderful less expensive brands you can substitute - this gives you a general idea of what I'm adding to my new winter trick bag ;) I'm opting for a vivid red/blue lipstick - a paler cream blush - mat foundation - shimmery classic golden brown eye - smokey liner instead of a hard black - full dark long lush lashes - all trends that work for my particular skin at the moment. Break out of your old ways and into something brand new for 2013 - it's that time of year! I'm a huge fan of Make Up For Ever - and their foundations are some of the absolute best - every pro I know uses at least one of their formulations. I'm loving this MAT VELVET for this time of year - it's classic, highly pigmented and a little bit goes a long, long way. LOVELY VELVETY finish. Be certain to use the right tools for the job. I'm using my Make Up For Ever pro foundation brush 30N. You will have a flawless finish, use less product and be certain to cover every blemish and flaw. One of the best brush lines on the market. Invest in yourself and always clean your brushes weekly with gentle soap/shampoo - rinse well - never soak - and lie flat to dry. They will last you for a very long time. In the winter months, and especially with a more mat foundation such as MUFE MAT VELVET, I rather love a more dewy cream blush - and this one by TWO FACED is very easy to blend, lasts long without looking greasy. Gives me just the right FLUSH of color to go with my rather bold choice of lipstick - keep it light on the cheeks if you're going bolder on your lip or eye. This color is perfect for my light ivory skin - TWO FACED Full Bloom Ultra Flushed Blush Cocoa Rose. The cocoa/neutral is just enough flush without it being too red or pink. I love this amazing color by Dior - as all of their lipsticks - they make some of the best in the world in my view - I like to apply this lightly with my finger like a stain and press it into my lips to give a bitten look - perfect for winter without being TOO perfect. Of course you can use your lipstick brush for a more defined look for evening as well. Rouge Dior - Daisy Plum 976 - a golden berry plum. Tres Chic. LORAC makes incredible makeup products - and their eyeshadows are some of the softest, blendable shadows on the market. I carry their entire line of shadows - and this LITTLE BLACK PALETTE is eyeshadow royalty. Everyone should have this palette in their beauty kit. I like to use the medium light color all over my lid, line lightly on my upper lid at the lash line for everyday. Of course the possibilities are endless. Be certain to use the primer included for a long lasting look. Worth every penney. Lancome is one of my favorite luxury retail brands for their fashion forward colors and design. This eyeliner is by far one of the best on the market. Artliner is a fine precision point marker for your eyes. Foolproof some would say. I am trying the SMOKE Artliner for this time of year - being as it's not as harsh as black on my eye and I rather like a little grey definition. Just dark enough for now. Long lasting and pigmented. The Aubergine plum is a close second.

LISA JOHNSON :: MAKEUP + HAIR
Nashville + Beyond
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2013 is here....
The weather outside is nasty. The holiday parties and dinners that once filled the pages of your agenda have been replaced with deadlines and seemingly unending projects. It must be January! If you’ve got the January blues, consider these mood-enhancing beauty products to help perk up your face and mood on even the greyest of winter days.
 Euphoryl
This crazy chemical is beginning to pop up all over the makeup world and is said to stimulate the production of dopamine and endorphins promoting happiness, energy, and even sex appeal! The ingredient was created by Laboratoires Sérobiologiques, and is now widely used by drugstore favorite Physician's Formula. Many dermatologists, though, are skeptical about the chemical concentrate, explaining the product would have to include at least 1% Euphoryl to work. Regardless, a pan of Happy Booster Blush or a tube of Happy Booster lipstick won’t set you back more than a few bucks and the pink hearts design is cute enough.
 Caffeine
If the dull weather has left your face in need of a pick-me-up, try incorporating a caffeinated product into your routine. For an all-around perky appearance try a caffeinated lotion like Jergens Skin Firming Advanced Moisturizer. It's believed that caffeinated creams may also diminish the appearance of cellulite and fine lines when used over time. A skin latte’ from the fountain of youth! HELLO!??
 Aromatherapy
For the naturalists out there that need a beauty cure for the winter blues, essential oils are coming to the rescue. It’s been known that uplifting scents such as peppermint, grapefruit, and lemon can inspire us to think happy thoughts, even on a dreary day. Try creating your own blend of cheery scents at your local health shop, or try a pre-blended product. The new Cowshed collection of roll-on oil blends are personalized for all your daily mood swings. We are loving Grumpy Cow, Lazy Cow, and Wild Cow to get us through till February. Pop one in your purse and roll over pulse points when things get tough.
 Color Therapy
It’s said the the right color can turn a frown upside down so what are you doing in that black winter wardrobe? Swap out winter neutrals for neon shades of yellow, red, orange, and fuchsia this season for an instant jolt of energy. Our tips and toes look giddy when glossed over with hot shades like the UV red Radiate by OCC, or bright yellow Cheeky Chops by Butter London. Swipe a best-selling bright such as MAC's Moxie Lipstick across your lips and let the smiling begin.
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, SPRING WILL BE HERE AND YOUR WINTER BLUES WILL BE FORGOTTEN. Take good care of yourself - you ONLY live once - so make it pretty!

I am in love with detail brushes. These are the little wonders that make my job easier, and make a look go from wow to WOW! These are the type of tools much needed to do precise eye looks and to elevate your work as an artist. Who better than makeup artist ICON Billy Brasfeld (Mister Billy B) to offer up his tools of the trade? I purchased (below) the contour set and 2 brushes for eye and one lip liner - considered for precision. I will definately be purchasing more of these little gems. They are soft and dense - PRECISE - where you put them is where the makeup is deposited - with virtually NO makeup FALL OUT. Fall out is the bane of most makeup artists. It slows us down trying to do cleanup under an eye, etc. I found these little beauties to be very beautifully made and easy to work with. I cannot wait to use these on my amazing clients! |

Here are a few unedited iPhone images I take of my clients before & after their trial or wedding day sessions with me. I consider it an honor to get to know my clients in such a personal way and believe all women, at any age, are truly beautiful. Some are shown before, others are just after makeup. All ages from 23 to 80 are represented.

A MUST HAVE PRODUCT IN MY PRO KIT : for everyone - women, girls, men of all ages - it is indispensible and almost invisible with a slight tint. PRO BALM. I also use this on myself, so you KNOW it's good. This is an airbrush makeup effect without the hassle. It blends easily, slightly tinted, blurs imperfections, blots oil and makes skin look super poreless. Some of you can forego foundation if you wish, use a tinted moisturizer over it or your regular foundation - it will make your makeup glide on as smooth as silk, and make your skin soft soft soft. It has a soft gel to powder texture and lasts all day.

Waterproof Eye Makeup Products for Summer 2012 ...and the hunt continues. Here are a few waterproof eye products I have tried. These are in my very own beauty bag for moi. Here in the hot, steamy South our summers are BRUTAL with a capital "B" for well, Brutal. It's hot, it's steamy and your makeup unfortunately melts away easily. These eye products will help keep you looking beautiful and like the gorgeous Summer Goddesses you are. *please note that all waterproof eye products do require a waterproof remover, so do purchase one for your bag - or you will risk the torment of tugging, scrubbing and pulling out your lashes - so unattractive. This mermaid-worthy formula endures (I have actually tested it at sea), and the light gel formula never looks cakey. Very lightweight and your lashes will actually be feathery when applied properly. My new go to for steamy summer. Create a smoldering smoky eye that won’t crease after a hot summer night with this cream-to-powder duo. Use your finger for allover color or a thin brush to line. Great color choices and you won't have ugly racoon eyes long after the sun has gone down. Equipped with a flexible foam-tip applicator, this easy-to-use liquid liner stays put all day and is available in 15 vibrant shades. You cannot beat this product line for waterproof-ness. To have 15 shades also is a MAJOR plus! Everyone that knows me KNOWS I'm an MUFE fan - check out THIS BLOG POST.
Removes eye makeup instantly. Cleans delicate eye area without leaving a greasy film. I love this product because it doesn't sting my eyes and is oil free. With waterproof makeup you MUST use a waterproof makeup remover - because of the tugging and scrubbing if you don't use one - and NOBODY wants to see that. Activates when shaken to gently whisk away even waterproof eye makeup, while conditioning and refreshing the skin. Ideal for sensitive skin and contact lens wearers. Leaves eyes feeling cool and relaxed, with no oily residue. A little goes a long way with this soothing product - and I also love it because it doesn't sting my eyes. Look for more waterproof product reviews in the ensuing days - I'm testing waterproof face products next. If you have any favorites or comments on these, I look forward to hearing from you! Please post. I am always thrilled to hear from those who take the time to read my blog :) Waterproof Summer Makeup, 2012 Summer Makeup, L'Oreal, LANCOME, Make Up For Ever, Urban Decay, Smashbox |

LISA JOHNSON MAKEUP ARTIST Make Up For Ever Spring/Summer 2012 Aqua Shadows The hunt for waterproof, long lasting eye makeup brings me to the new Make Up For Ever additions to their Aqua line. Check out their 12 new offerings ~ B+ 
If long lasting, waterproof proof eye makeup is one of your top priorities, the newest Make Up For Ever collection, Aqua Shadows is sure to please - with a little tweaking.... MY REVIEW ~ I found these fairly easy to apply and blend before they became "set". These performed best for me up to 5 hours without creasing. The matte are truly matte and highly pigmented - however, I think setting these with shadow will improve their wearability. The pearl shades are medium pigmented and very buildable - with a beautiful sheen - these tend to last longer than the matte shadows in my view and are very wearable day and night. I recommend these for summer heat waves, swimming, high humidity days and hot sultry evenings dancing the night away. B+ Having worked on several underwater fashion shoots myself, I can testify to their lasting ability - within the limits I described. Useful in humidity and high heat environments - and the color payoff is great. 
0E Matte black
2E Matte brown
4E Matte taupe grey
6E Matte navy blue
8E Matte green
20E Pearly taupe
22E Pearly coper
24E Pearly pink
26E Pearly peach
28E Pearly beige
30E Pearly pink beige
32E Pearly white 
Simplify your summer makeup routine with any of these twelve dazzling, waterproof eyeshadows - offered in matte and pearl textures - new additions to their Aqua collection. $20.00 each

Should I hire a professional makeup artist for my wedding? Lisa Johnson of Brides by Lisa - Nashville Bridal Makeup Artist Of course I'm going to say YES! ...and here is why: Let's face it -you've spent a pretty fortune on the venue, photographer, your dresses, flowers, food, entertainment and all the little details that go into your wedding day. You're more than likely hiring a hairstylist. Your bridal makeup is generally the last touch before dressing and walking down the aisle.

I believe everyone in my makeup chair should look fresh, beautiful and uniquely them - which is why I craft a personalized look for my clients.

Plus it's an incredible bonding experience and memory you all will always share. Having professional makeup really helps when you're being photographed – and you ARE being photographed on your wedding day – like no other day. You also have the added bonus of a cohesive look for your valuable photography. Simply put, you're all gussied up with your finery and heading to thechurch and reception after – all looking gorgeous! I’ve been lucky enough to have worked with hundreds of brides over the years and I consider it an honor to help each bride look their very best. It's why I do what I do. So if what I've told you helps you consider professional makeup for your wedding day - hire me as your artist and I promise to show you how beautiful you are. ___________________________________________________________________________ Lisa Johnson is a Nashville-based makeup artist working in the fields of commercial, beauty, print ad and high definition media.

BRIDES BY LISA Why you need to consider hiring a professional makeup artist (ME!) for your wedding. You have your gorgeous wedding dress - your bridesmaids dresses - your mother and/or mother of the groom are excited and looking forward to being a part of your day - you have the beautiful venue - the flowers - the little details like the shoes and jewelry - you have your hairstyling in mind (or somewhat) - and of course your professional photographer who will be taking pictures of you and everyone like no other day of your life. I consider your wedding day makeup and "look" an integral part of your planning - the final polish.  My expertise is in making you look absolutely STUNNING at all angles - in all lighting environments - as well as helping to keep the beauty production flowing so you are on time. I've had brides tell me they didn't want to even take their lashes or makeup off during their honeymoon. I've had mothers and grandmothers contact me to thank me for making them look gorgeous for the first time in years. These declarations always make me happy and a lot of why I do what I do! As a makeup artist, I'm well known for my clean beauty makeup - and many brides love this fresh, youthful look. Maybe you have a high fashion look you're dreaming of for your very formal wedding - you want glamourous faux lashes and everyone to look pulled together and cohesive. Whatever your heart desires, we will work on creating what works perfectly for you. And as my bridal client, your beauty and happiness are my focus. I am there to take the stress off of you - no running around all over town, worrying about being late or lost - having me there while everyone is getting ready is a calming experience for everyone.

LISA JOHNSON MAKEUP ARTIST Brides by Lisa - Nashville Bridal Makeup Specialist What's new in my makeup arsenal? Well, in my personal makeup bag - for those quick seconds I have between clients' beauty sessions - these are a few products I use consistently - they work for me and I'm a woman over 40 (something) - you need to give these a try - at ANY age. GIORGIO ARMANI LASTING SILK UV COMPACT - LUXURY. I use this throughout the day - technically a foundation (use wet or dry). Formulated for normal to oily skin. Even though I am Over 40, I tend to oil up during the day. Velvety and soft coverage. A very high UV protection to preserve from premature ageing signs thanks to SPF 34 and PA+++ 8-hour resistant veil & color. TIP: NOT SUITABLE FOR PHOTOSHOOTS due to the high SPF content. Pricey, but you're worth it :) MAKE UP FOR EVER AQUA CREAM - I especially love the colors Pink Beige, Taupe and Peach - they're super lustrous and waterproof - I use these as a base also for powder eyeshadow for a quick night look. They go on smooth and resist smearing or fading. This entire line is PERFECTION. These come in 22 amazing shades - and you can use them on your cheeks and lips too. TIP: make sure to use an eye cream to moisturize your eye area prior to using - these creams dry quickly and stay put. A little goes a long way. LANCOME TEINT MIRACLE INSTANT RETOUCH PEN - This is about the best pen I have used so far that actually has coverage and not just "lightener" for the undereye area. I, of course, use my concealer in the morning and use this portable pen thru the day - its highly pigmented, very hydrating and covers. I'm a huge fan of LANCOME products - anyone that knows me knows this :) TIP: pat don't rub the concealer into the corner of your eye to about 1/2 across under your eye - this covers without that "racoon" eye look - a little dab will do ya. LANCOME L'ABSOLU ROUGE LIPSTICK - I cannot say enough about this lipstick - (I told you I loved this brand) it is so nurturing, hydrating and lasts - a very creamy lipstick that is beautiful - comes in 28 amazing shades. Infused with moisture-boosting Pro-Xylane™, lips stay moist, soft and comfortable for up to 8 hours. Antioxidant-rich Vitamin E and SPF 12 help keep lips safe from environmental aggressors. Perfect formula for anyone wanting anti-aging benefits. My personal favorite color is Berry Noir - for the winter and holidays - a perfect cranbery (blue) red. TIP: to keep your lipstick from bleeding - apply foundation to your lips as well as your face - powder lightly then line and fill in your lips with a complimenting or matching lip pencil - sharpen it every single time you use to ensure a perfect pout. |

The terms "VEGAN" or "SUSTAINABLE" "ECO-Friendly" are very popular - people are more discerning of what products they choose to purchase - for many reasons. Synthetic brushes have come a LONG way in the past year or so - due to several companies on the market answering that demand. Bdellium Tools makes both hand made, natural hair and synthetic professional makeup artist brushes - their series: Maestro, Studio, Travel, Green Bambu. I chose the Green Bambu Series and have to say they are incredibly SOFT and very dense. Not only is their color unusual, but also appeals asthetically and looks FRESH. They impressed me immediately when I felt them in my hand and moreso when I applied makeup on my own face. SUPER SOFT! Travel size - about an inch smaller than your regular pro brush length - they are not miniature brushes - they are just shortened handles - same size brush head. Check out their video REVIEWS . These are going to fly out the door once words gets around... I LOVE THESE VEGAN BRUSHES! Above: I highly recommend starting your eco-friendly brush collection from Bdellium with the 4 piece foundation brush set, shown above - they are also easy on the pocket book for professional brushes. Buy HERE. |

NASHVILLE BRIDAL MAKEUP Racoon Eyes? No need to go without mascara for the summer! So many choices for your lashes - and for summer - the LAST thing you want during the swealtering heat are racoon eyes - so my pick if waterproof all the way. Summer is also a great time to try different colors for fun - YSL has that covered. Here we have a few picks to try - and it's always adviseable to mix your mascaras should you need volume AND length. Start with a volumizing mascara and top it off with a 2nd coat of waterproof lengthening formula - you can use different lines, as well. Just don't forget the waterproof makeup remover! Above, from left:Maybelline One by One Waterproof Mascara, $7.99, available at Ulta; YSL Mascara Singulier Waterproof in Vibrant Violent, $30, available at YSL; Urban Decay Cannonball Ultra Waterproof Mascara, $20, available at Urban Decay. |

NASHVILLE BRIDAL MAKEUP I just saw this wild wedding music video on Junebug Weddings site and had to share it with you all! Many of you brides are considering a videographer for your wedding - and it's really a big thing now - and probably will continue to be in the future too. Well this isn't just any video - this is a major choreographed wedding music video to the Black Eyed Peas song "The Time (Dirty Bit)" including the entire wedding party - shot during their wedding of course. The music is a little unconventional maybe - your music and style can easily be incorporated. All the more reason to have great makeup and hair, right? ;) This amazing wedding planner went above and beyond, I'd say! Without further ado: |
