SWEET 16

Well queridas,
Sorry I've been away, very busy juggling work and life (like everyone else) but I'm back.

I did the make up for the sweetest "sweet 16" girl ever on 4/18. She was having a HUUUGGEE party in NYC, 250+ teens and adults for a night of disco dancing and dining. Her dress was on loan from Miss Teen USA (circa 2007) and was spectacular. It was a sequined mini, sparkling with tropical colors: a soft aqua with champagne gold bling accent . She wanted make up that would complement the dress, bright and fun, but still suitable for a 16 year old.

We did a trial the week before, the day she was going to have her professional pictures taken. The colors turned out brighter than we wanted and the aqua lid was "too visible". We wanted a subtle wash that would show when she blinked. Her beautiful Asian eyes were almond shaped, so for the real day, I focused on the extension of the line more than the coverage of the lid.

The photos came out amazing, as you know, photos need a hit more of color to show up properly. So in the end, it worked out and on the real day, she was a fairy tale princess.

In fact, after she left to meet her mom at the hair salon, her mom and aunt rushed over, not having time for a full face, but asking for a quick eye and lash application, along with an airbrush style concealer to camouflage some hyperpigmentaion.

Her mom was so happy and couldn't stop saying how beautiful her daughter looks, music to any MUA's ears. ASAP, I will post the face chart along with the photo shoot and actual day photos.

I almost never create remarks, but i did a few searching and
wound up here "SWEET 16". And I do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Is it just me or does it seem like a few of the responses look like they are coming from brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting on additional sites, I'd like to keep up with everything new you have to post.

Would you make a list of every one of all your community pages like
your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

Greetings, I do believe your site could possibly be having web browser compatibility problems.
Whenever I take a look at your site in Safari, it looks fine
however when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping issues.
I simply wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Aside from that, great site!
