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. As always I'm thrilled to hear your thoughts! ~Lisa Makeup Before & After, Bridal Makeup in Nashville, Women Over 40 Makeup Tips in Nashville, Airbrush Makeup in Nashville |

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 |
