MAC Cosmetics Bridal Make-Up Class

Tonight I attended the MAC Pro bridal make-up class in King of Prussia. Pro Gina Bettelli shared her knowledge as well as some of her favorite MAC products with us tonight. Everything from trials, to pricing, lashes, lips and contouring....the class was very informative. I will be testing out my skills on May 1st at my friend's wedding. So, check out the blog after May 1st for some pictures of the beautiful bride and my perfected skillz:)

Inspirations

A stylist has a vision. When we look at a person's hair not only do we take the texture, thickness, and face shape into consideration but we have to be inspired. Admittedly finding the inspiration everyday is not the easiest task. So, we look to subjects such as architecture, clothing, sculpture, paintings and even nature itself for the inspiration. The color combination's, angles of the lines, and the fluidity of these structures help create the basis for many haircuts.

Believe it or not, when you walk into a salon your clothing, down to the shoes you are wearing could determine the outcome of your hairstyle! We also take into consideration the time and maintenance you spend doing your hair everyday and what works with your lifestyle.

So the next time you walk into your salon mention some of the above. Maybe it will help your stylist create a beautiful hair do for you.

Make Up Anyone?

Today I spent the day in NYC for my first MAC pro class. From the moment I walked into the building I felt inspired. Maybe it was the colorful jars of shadows lining the wall, the photo shoot set up, or maybe just maybe it was the hot men handing out hors d'oeuvres and pomegranate martini's.....but needless to say I learned a lot and can't wait to use some of the techniques I attained from Dotti today!







Here's a little background on the presenter Dotti:

Dotti was born in Australia and studied makeup at Film Makeup and Technology. She got her start professionally under Richard Sharah and Pat McGrath. Before moving to New York four years ago, Dotti lived in London and Hong Kong. She has collaborated with some of the world’s most creatively renowned photographers, including Michelangelo Di Battista, Miles Aldridge, Ellen von Unwerth, Steven Klein, Dan Jackson, Patrick Demarchelier, and Sebastian Faena. Dotti’s celebrity clients include Cate Blanchett, Jada Pinkett Smith, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Emma Watson and Jennifer Garner. Her editorial work includes Vogue, V Magazine, I.D., American Vogue, Numero and Elle. Clients include M·A·C, Max Mara, Versace perfume, Guerlain, Etro, Neutrogena and La Perla.

Dotti’s approach to makeup is to be open and fresh. Each face projects an essence, a sort of personal signature that her makeup accentuates and reveals. Dotti arrives armed with her bags of supplies and makeup to be inspired by the client and the team of people that surrounds her. She demonstrates spontaneous creativity that allows her to push past personal boundaries and passionately enjoy her work.
