Wedding Photos...

...of my cousin's wedding, not mine lol. I posted a photo of Kiko and I on Facebook and people thought that we got married lol. People are too funny. If we ever get married, we will happily announce it and not hide it from everyone.

 Anyway, as promised here are some of my favorite photos from the wedding..Enjoy!

I'm one of the bridesmaid ^_^


I'm standing behind the maid of honor. She's super tall or I'm just super short haha...


Here is the handsome ring bearer, my nephew Momo. He's only 3 years old. He surprised everyone with this wits and smiles while walking down the aisle. We honestly thought he was going to run away lol. But he did a great job!








My niece Ysabella and I waiting. I did her hair and makeup. Click HERE if you want to see more a closer look of the makeup.


I really like this candid photo. We look cool.





My family. I love this photo too. From the left...my nieces Alexandra, Elizabeth, my nephew Momo, my auntie Abeng, grandma and my mom.


My cousin Maryanne and her new husband Manny. Such a cool pic.











My cousin Joshua and I doing our little dance for the grand entrance ^_^. I switched to my black flats as soon as we got to the reception. My peep toe heels were really nice, but they hurt my feet so much lol.




This is an exciting event for my cousin Maryanne as well as a new life with her husband. I'm so happy for her.

Bridesmaids Makeup, Freelance Makeup Kit and etc...Pic Heavy

Hey everyone! I missed you all so much. I wasn't able to blog for a few days because my family and I went out of town this weekend to attend my cousin's wedding. We stayed at a hotel and they didn't have the best internet connection and my phone wasn't able to get the best signal so even updating facebook and twitter was such a pain. Dang you AT&T! But I had a lot of fun. It was a really fun wedding, and I'm so happy I got to spend quality time with family members and relatives whom I haven't seen in such a long time.

Here are some photos over the weekend. I did hair and makeup for family and friends and it was a lot of fun. I love the trust they give me to make them look pretty. These photos were taken using my small Canon digital camera so the quality is not that great. More and better photos are in my cousin's camera, so once I get a hold of them, I'd share them with you.

My freelance makeup kit
(I labeled them with numbers. I hope it's showing)

1. Almost all my makeup fits in this Caboodle Pro Cosmetic Case. Buy it here. It's a spacious metal case with 4 fold out trays with a deep compartment in the center. It fits everything you see in the photo except for the brush roll and my personal makeup (inside the ziploc bag).

2. All my primers and moisturizers are in this small mesh bag. 

    -Graftobian Oxyderm moisturizer

    -Dermalogica Oil Control lotion

    -Makeup Forever Primer

    -The Body Shop Vitamin E eye cream

    -Carmex lip balm

    -Bath and Body Works hand sanitizer
    -Makeup Forever eye makeup remover.

3. Inside this small faux leather bag are 3 plastic and 1 metal spatula (to scoop cream foundation and concealer) scissors and tweezers.

4. The pink looking balls are my Beauty Blender. They're non latex reusable sponges. I use them to blend foundation and concealer on the face. My brush roll from Crown brushes with all kinds of brushes: Crown, Coscto, Stella, Sigma Makeup and Eco Tools.

5. Q-tips, mascara wand and Concealer palette from Sedona Lace. You can buy it here.

6. Graftobian High-Def Glamour Creme in Warm and Corrector Palette. Buy them here. I highly recommend these palette if you're interested in starting your own freelance makeup kit. You get all kinds of shades from lightest to darkest in one compact palette.

7. You can't really see it, but it's a huge ziploc bag of my personal makeup and brushes. I don't use the same makeup and brushes that I use on my clients. I should probably get my own caboodle or big makeup bag to store them, but ziploc would do for now ^_^. 

My niece Ysabella was one of the bridesmaids. She's only 16 and it's her first time to be a part of a wedding.  I did the same makeup from the makeup test I did on her, which you can find here, but with few changes. The main eye shadow was still Penny from Wet n Wild Color Icon, but I applied it wet under a black base instead of bronze. It gave the shadow a greenish peach sheen. It's so gorgeous!

 I really love this eye shadow because it has a duo chrome quality to it. The color changes in different angles. In the photo above, it looks like a green-gold-ish peach ^_^.  It's so gorgeous!





I also did her hair, which is inspired by Itsjudytime's Easy Sideswept hair Tutorial on youtube. Gosh, I love her hair tutorials. They are so easy to follow! Thanks Judy!
























I did the makeup of the 3 flower girls. They're sisters and they were so sweet and funny. They were very curious as they watch their sister get their makeup done and the asked so many questions lol.

Here is my friend Melissa. She's the sweetest and she let me do whatever I want with the makeup. I did a fresh looking makeup with heavy eye liner. The eye liner I used on her is Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes in Mat Black. You can buy it here. This stuff is intense! It's waterproof and smudge proof and stayed on all day and night. I highly recommend it. 

I was one of the bridesmaids too. My feet was hurting really bad because of my heels. They're adorable, but dang it, they hurt lol.



I'll show more photos in another post. Thank you so much for stopping by. If you have any questions regarding the makeup I used, just shoot me down a comment below.

FOTD: So So Makeup Look

Have you ever had one of those days when you feel like your makeup just doesn't look right? Well, that's what I felt with this makeup look. I wore it on Saturday for a wedding, and I kept looking at the mirror in the car because there was something iffy about it. Maybe the golden bronze shadow I used wasn't pigmented enough or maybe I didn't do my blending right or whatever...I honestly wasn't feeling it at all O_o.

Yes I get pretty anal when it comes to my makeup. If it doesn't look right, I have no problem taking it off and start over again. But that day, I didn't have enough time to do it over because Kiko and I was running a little late. So I pretty much had to settle with this so-so makeup look and went on with my day...sigh O_o.



By the way, the bright yellow cardigan I'm wearing is the one I bought from Ann Taylor. I'm really loving it! I'll have more pics of the cardigan in another outfit post.

Even a little cam-whoring didn't help haha...

I know it looks fine and I'm just being hard on myself, but I honestly felt like I could've done much better. This is definitely not a favorite O_o.

Okay enough rant...

XOXO,

Becky

LOOK: Sunshine Makeup

I went to my friend's wedding not too long ago and I wore this bright yellow dress and my bf kept calling me Sunshine lol. He said I looked like a sunball  walking down the street because my dress was super glowy and bright and it was kind of blinding him  lol. I guess its his way of saying I'm beautiful ^_^.

I re-created this makeup look that I wore at the wedding that matched perfectly with my yellow dress. I did a defined neutral eyes and yellow/gold on the lids with pinky nude lips :). This look is a great bridesmaid makeup if your dress is yellow or just a pretty everyday neutral look for day time. I hope you guys like it!

Cool Tips mentioned in the video:

• Wetting the eye shadows will intensify the colors.
• Try layering blush colors on the cheeks instead of one.
