Elizabeth...

The Girl Who had Everything...

Today marks the day that the beautiful Elizabeth Taylor passes this life and moves on to her next.

She has ALWAYS been a face that inspired me. I think it was in Cleopatra that she stole my heart with her incredible blue eyeshadow,  sleek black hair and regal head pieces/jewels... she was simply stunning.

She was one of thE greatest actresses to come from Hollywood's Golden Age offering the world so much inspiration through her existence. She will always be a legend in my eyes and will continue to be an inspiration to my art...

Cassie is so fun to work with and has incredible features to play with so I really wanted to bring them out while letting her natural beauty shine through. I used my favorites from Stila to create her looks.

Check out Cassie in Season 3 of her show "Make It or Break It" March 28th on ABC Family!

AMERICAN IDOL'ING

With American Idol's new season exciting so many, I was inspired to go into my Iphoto and re visit the many photos I took while Keying the Makeup for America Idol's Concert Tour Season 7.

A lot of talent came from that season and some amazing friendships for me as well.

Here are a few BTS shots in the makeup/hair room!

THERE IS HOPE...

I recently had the extreme pleasure of working with the beautiful Hope Dworczyk. Hope is Playboys 2010 Playmate of the Year and will be on this upcoming season of Celebrity Apprentice.  We had a day of fun creating edgy and sexy fashion on the flow with photographer Brie Childers who simply knows how to bring out the best in woman.  

Its always refreshing when you come across beautiful talent that are open and carry the same beauty on the inside.  I adore the photos we produced and the good times we shared on this day of "work" ;)
