SMOKEY...DOES HOLLYWOOD
Oh...the smokey eyes.
We, makeup artists and stylists have been copying them for ever. Those makeup artists that introduced these beautiful icons to the sexy smokey eye look are the ones that took it to the next level, the first and last level that there is.

SLASH AND PERLA AT THE GRAMMYS
I am very proud of my creations every time I work with Perla Hudson. She has a beautiful face and exotic features. The best part of all that from a makeup artists point of view is that Perla is open to anything. She loves makeup and is aware of her features, so she lets me create on the spot according to her theme.
Here for the Clive Davis party, the night before the Grammys, she was wearing a very romantic flowing dress with a Latin flair. She is a big help when it comes to her makeup since she always knows what she wants, which gives me a direction.
For that look, which I wish I had a closer picture so you see the details, we used bronze and gold colors. I applied Too Faced Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer allover her lid, prior to any shadow. This insures that she can go all night without having to think of her makeup, just enjoy herself. It is one of my main goals to send my clients out and have them feel confident throughout the full extend of their events. I used one of my favorite eyeshadow trios by DUWOP "CRUSH". I took a wet brush and dipped it in the burgundy red shadow and I went over her black eyeliner with it. We love Shiseido 1, black eyeliner for its deep black hue and it's staying power. We used a strip black lash and individuals toward the outer corners of the eyes for that exotic sultry look.For Russel Simmons Grammy party, Perla had a fabulous young fresh new designer custom design her outfit. JnG! I will provide his website in a later moment so you get to take a look at his couture since he is a new upcoming designer with amazing talent and everything is original.
As a matter of fact he did all the beading on this dress, he is a perfectionist and it shows.
Unfortunately you can't see the whole look which is very unique and fashion forward on this picture but there is a lot of color on the legs, shoes and purse. I did a more colorful eyeshadow on her. Healthy bronzed skin and face with beautiful lavender/purple shadows, blended just enough to smooth all the colors together for a playful glamorous effect.
The colors came from the Bobbi Brown Eye Brights palette.

THE GRAMMYS
Huge luxurious homes with caterers and bartenders and with a sea of people wanting to be photographed by the paparazzi crowding the streets while the valet had no more room to park any of our cars so we can also attend. It was crazy!
I mean...the thought was a fun one, when do normal non famous people like me get to attend those events? So I was very excited to be there. All the excitement drifted away when I had no were to park my car and had to walk in 4 inch heals for a mile to return to the event. Ok, so I was in with all those celebrities. Walking by John Legend, brushing shoulders with TI and observing Queen Latifah trying to also park her luxury vehicle while she is walking a mile back to the house. Only she was wearing jeans and boots, smart girl!
The funniest part of the night for me was when after I had an argument with the valet guy as to why he did not park my car at a little spot in the front, this white Bentley pulls up and he parks it right at that particular spot I was interested in. I was furious!
I expressed my disbelieve and disappointment as lady like as I could only to find out that the car belonged to the owner of the house that the party was taking place. Well...I took my lady like foot and put it in my lady like mouth and walked away half embarrassed. The other half was still pissed.
The interior of the house of that famous rapper, which I will not name, was a labyrinth. Too many people everywhere, the stairs, the patios, the rooms. Too many rooms. My delay resulted into me loosing my company and going on a hunt to find them through the mass of celebrities. Loud music everywhere, people staring, probably thinking that I was someones trophy girl for the night since I was like a fly in milk inside there. It took me only a few minutes to realize that I don't belong and got my lady like behind out of there. Meanwhile my company made their exit fast too and I got a text to the next location. After a mile walk back to the car with my 4 inch heals and rain, we made it to the next location. A Hollywood staple spot for famous people again. Parking was easier this time and as I am walking up to the door man with freezy hair and worn out heals, I made it known that I would go postal unless he lets me in. He let me in with no questions asked although I was not anyone famous. I think he got scared. : )
I needed a drink and my husband managed to get me one. Here we go again, trying to find our company that was sitting probably in a private booth. As I am walking delirious by now and trying to look at all the private booths in the dark to find my friends that mostly wore black I bump into someone and half spilled my drink. That's it! I turned around, ready to let someone have it since I was on my last straw and here I see this well dressed familiar face staring at me...not in a good way. Kid Rock. I knew the night had to end soon. I texted my friends a polite goodnight and exited after I inhaled my Gray Goose cranberry. I am calling it a night!
Grabbed my husband by his tailored suit and left.
As we got home that night, I realized how much more comfortable and great it felt to be wrapped around his arms in our warm silk bedding.
All that Glitz and Glory and famousness is great. I am very blessed to have great friends that find my company worthy of a night out in the Grammy party world but I enjoy them better while we hang around a dinner table able to hear each other speak.
