As a woman, and especially a model, I wear make-up.
Many photo shoots & projects require extensive make-up for special effects, or for the glamorous look, or creative shoots. There are times where the make-up feels like it weighs 10 lbs, and feels caked on, and it can be very difficult to effectively remove this make-up
Last night, upon returning home from an entire day of shooting, after 6 looks, my face was caked with serious make-up and by the last look, my eyes were very smokey and Read more [...]
So, I learned something new yesterday that I didn't realize before from Farhana of Maquillage by Farhana, while she was doing my make-up.
She told me that you can lightly apply sunscreen on the ends of your hair to protect them from the sun's damaging rays.
Farhana says this prevents your hair drying out and causing split ends.
In other words, use a light sunscreen that's easy to apply and thin in nature, so you don't grease up and weigh hair down, but so that it protects your hair from Read more [...]
I hate giving bad reviews. I like to follow the motto of "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
However, I absolutely cannot let others use this product and have the same result as I got.
Because of the increase in stress in my life recently, from becoming host of a reality TV show - Model Rage International, opening up my own modeling & talent agency, and working on my jewelry line, I have had some breakouts on my face this week.
I can't afford to have Read more [...]
I'm posting a helpful article from Alexis Gould today to help everyone with their eyeliner application and to let them know what options they have by way of different types of eyeliners.
Personally, I don't wear much eyeliner, only liquid above the upper lashes in everyday life. However, when I'm at a shoot, the make up artists I work with use a wide array of eyeliners and applications. Check it out:

How Can I Keep My Teeth White & Still Drink Tea?
A predicament I'm often in - Especially with Homemade Chai Tea!
I love to drink tea!!! It's probably my favorite beverage right after water...
...But I model and often have close ups on my teeth...They have to be white too!
What Do I Do?
Well, a little known fact is that you can put a bit of milk in your tea - that's all you need.
Why Does This Work?
Well, it's the tannins in your tea that cause your teeth to discolor. Read more [...]
When I travel, I can only pack so much, especially with the weight and baggage limits put upon us by the airlines.
So, I try to consolidate and bring things that will work universally - and that includes beauty products!
My perfume of choice this month for traveling is Victoria's Secret's Heavenly Perfume Scent.
It's soft and floral and simply smells heavenly!
It is great for day time as it's not overpowering, isn't oily - so it's not uncomfortable or staining in very intense heat like Read more [...]

Whenever I am about to recycle bottles from beauty products that I finished using, they go next to my computer to remind me to tell you what I think about them.
I tried the Coryse Salomé Performance Or Refining Eye Contour Gel.
Did I Like It?
Sure, I think it's a solid eye cream that you are able to use day or night to moisturize those eyes.
It's nice and thick, but not greasy.
I feel it has done a nice job...
* Tip: I often like to moisten my fingertips with water before I apply Read more [...]
Wow...It never ceases to amaze me how many nail salons try to dupe their customers into thinking that the acrylic nails are actually gel nails...
This is a serious problem because not only are you getting charged for more expensive "solar gel" or "bio gel" nails, the acrylic nails are not good for your health, unlike the gel nails.
So, How Do You Know The Difference?
If the product applied to your nails is in any kind of powder form, that you witness, before being put on your nails, they Read more [...]
