Hey everyone!

So last night was the Met Gala in NYC. Celebrities filled the red carpet dressed in their best interpretations of punk rock couture.

Let’s take a look at some of the makeup looks from the event.

First up,

Minka Kelly

The way Minka kept everything subtle but added a bold lip makes this look beautiful, as well as edgy, but still classic. Her barely-there double winged eyeliner also helps give an extra pop to the look in its entirety.

Nicole Richie

Aside form this amazing hair, Nicole kept her look very strong with very defined facial features and a dark lip. She went easy on the eyes and used soft tones of brown paired with black eyeliner and lashes. Her dewy skin also adds the perfect amount of a healthy glow to this makeup look.

Jennifer Lopez

As we can see, dewy skin is all the rage this season and Jennifer Lopez does it flawlessly. She looks as though she is glowing from within. In true punk fashion, she chose to stick with a traditional dark eye and muted features. The heavy eye makeup really helps pull the entire outfit together by resembling the dark patterns on her dress. She looked phenomenal!

Taylor Swift

America’s sweetheart got in touch with her rebellious side last night as she walked the red carpet. Much like Jennifer Lopez, she kept her eyes the focal point of her look with everything else very low-key. She looked great last night and it was nice seeing her in something out of the norm.

Coco Rocha

Coco Rocha sported a beautifully executed smokey eye. Beautiful warm tones of golds and browns were used to tie in her look as a whole. The dark liner really helps give her eye color that extra wow factor. The decision to use a pink cheek also helped warm up her face and give more definition.

Tell us down below some of your favorite, or least favorite, makeup looks from the Met Gala!

Until next time!

Hello lovelies!

Hope you have all been having a great week since my last post! I wanted to catch you all up on some of the things I’ve been up to recently.

A few weeks ago I did makeup for the beautiful Jill Nicolini. If you are not familiar with her, she is a news anchor for Fox 5 news. I was able to have the amazing opportunity to do her makeup for the Emmy’s on April 14^th. The Emmy’s are an annual awards ceremony that recognizes outstanding achievements in the television industry.

On a totally different note, I like to think of myself as an eyebrow guru. Eyebrows are one of the most, if not THE most, important features of the face. They help frame your face and really pull a makeup look together. So, with that being said ladies, make sure you keep those eyebrows on point!

Not only do I have clients who want makeup, but I also have a slew of separate clients that will come to me specifically for eyebrows. Check out some of my work below!

*And remember: your brows are supposed to be sisters, not twins! So if you’re struggling to get them to look identical, don’t sweat it! You can always fill them in when applying makeup and make them look as even as possible.

Until next time!

Covergirl, Revlon, Maybelline, L’Oreal, Milani, Physicians Formula, the list goes on and on.

Walking into a drugstore looking for affordable mascara can be a bit overwhelming. Fear not, Orglamic beauty is here to help you pave the way through all of the mascara madness.

Finding the right mascara can feel like such a tedious process. So much trial and error goes into the search for that perfect formula. You may find the right wand but hate the mascara, and vice versa. But have you ever stopped to think that maybe when you find that perfect mascara wand that does exactly what you want it to do, you should hold onto it?

That’s right ladies, the perfect mascara isn’t so much finding the right formula, as it is finding the right wand. There are so many different types of wands out there that do different things, everything from thickening to lengthening. You name it, they’ve got it. So this is why it’s crucial to hold onto that old mascara wand you love oh so dearly, because it could save you a lot of trouble when you want to venture off into another mascara’s madness.

Once you’ve found your wand of choice, just clean that puppy off and you’re good to go! You’re gonna wanna disinfect and sanitize the wand itself so when cleaning be sure to use alcohol and let them down to dry over a towel. Once you’ve gotten a new mascara to use, you can recycle that old wand that you hold a special place in your heart for and try it out with a new formula. It’s guaranteed to give your lashes better results.

So try this out next time you’re driving yourself nuts trying to find a good mascara and let us know how it worked for you!

Until next time lovelies!

So for the final installment of these spring trends is, last but not least, makeup trends!

Matte skin is out! Dewy foundation that gives you a fresh looking and youthful face is all the rage for spring and summer 2013.

Since your foundation is one of the main focuses of a full-­‐face regimen, you want to have it as flawless as possible. At the end of the day you want your skin to still look like skin, right? So this season try out a dewy foundation if you haven’t already and give your face that extra radiance it deserves.

What is spring without color? Along with dewy skin, bright pops of color are appearing everywhere. A very neutral eye with a pop of color in the inner corner or on the lower lash line is very popular and an easy way to stray away from that usual smoky eye.

Bright colored eyeliners are also becoming very popular. Blue and green hues of eyeliner help put an effortless bit of intrigue to a simple eye look.

Anastasia Beverly Hills has also just released a cool new way to put a twist on your eyes with hypercolor mascara and brow tint. These tints are extremely pigmented and can be used to brighten up your lashes and brows (if you’re into that sort of thing). This will surely help you stand out in a crowd. These hypercolors also come in pressed powders for your hair!

Until next time, have a fabulous week lovelies!

Continuing with the Spring 2013 trends theme, lets move on to hair and nails. Starting with hair, a few trends going on this season are natural waves (for that ‘just got out of bed’ look), low ponytails, and braids. All of these styles take little to no time at all and look beautiful when correctly executed.

Moving onto nails, some popular fashions are pale nails, dark nails, metallic nails, and two-toned colored nails. These are great to try at home because they don’t take very much effort and you can easily stay on trend.

If you have tried, or plan to try, any of these spring trends share them!
