The month of March has been absolutely amazing! Are you guys loving the sunshine as much as I am? I just realize that I’ve been completely distance from the world lately and slacking on my blogging! I swear I’m not trying to avoid you guys, I just been really really really busy! I decided to spend the whole day dedicated to uploading pictures on what’s been happening in my life!

Before we can create something in our worlds, we need to craft it in our heads. As Vincent Van Gogh write about his masterpieces, “The thing has already taken form in my mind before I start on it.” It’s true for paintings, and it’s true for our lives as well. If we see it, there’s a good chance we can figure how to do it.

My view from my penthouse downtown.

Spring is here and nothing puts a smile on my face than waking up and seeing this beautiful rainbow in the sky!

This week at the Studio… my model Lily Le called me up for an emergency makeup cover up!

EVENT: Video Vixen Lily was apart of the MEEZILINI’s Official Music Video and the Release Party ‘s TONIGHT

My Job:  Create a flawless superstar look  and to cover up the mark on her chin.

This big purple bruise on Lily’s chin was the cause from St. Patrick’s Day Weekend.

HOW IT HAPPEN: “After a long night of clubbing and dancing, I jumped on my friend’s back hoping for a piggy back ride. At the same time he leaned forward and I flipped over and landing on my chin.” 

For great flawless coverage I always turn to MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Products. They’re the best for hiding any unwanted problem areas.

I started with MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Elixir - An innovative serum that instantly hydrates and adds radiance to the skin.

Prepped the the face with HD Microperfecting Primer and applied Invisible Cover Foundation #125 Sand – for light skin with beige undertone.

I also used MAC Pro Longwear Concealer

COLOR: NC30

I filled in Lily’s eyebrows with MAC Eyebrow Pencil Spiked

I added M.O.D.E.L 21 False Eyelashes for a bigger Doll Eye’s appearance.

For the Lips: I used MAC Naked Liner and layered MAC Myth Lipstick with MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick Behave Yourself for light pink color.

Quickly added some wavy soft curls with a 1.5″ curling iron and this completes the look.

BEFORE & AFTER TRANSFORMATION

MAKEUP & HAIR BY JULIEMISSJUICY

Now Cinderella is ready for her Ball!

When I’m at work my daughter Naomi gets babysat over at her grandma’s and

Look what my mom made for fun.. a Pink Toddler & Tiara’s Ball Gown Dress

I KEEP TRYING TO TELL HER SHE’S ONLY 3 YEARS OLD…

Her little pecks won’t even hold up the dress

As if my princess isn’t spoiled enough..

Her Daddy just gave her an iPhone so she can take pictures … What has the world come to…

Naomi’s crazy about Candy Crush so please send her some lives! She’s only on Level 35

Here’s my baby suppose to be napping… Instead she’s making Siri spell out gibberish on her Notes.

On my Day-Off’s I love taking her to go play.  Here’s some pictures from OMSI with Daddy

Naomi’s first time petting a snake because it’s YEAR OF THE SNAKE

Life’s a Beach! She loves digging in the sand and making new friends.

I can watch my daughter play for hours! It’s wonderful seeing how fast she’s growing up and how well she interact with other kids.

LUNCH BREAK! Here’s Daddy & Naomi at Theory a new eatery at OMSI

At the end of the day I’m so thankful to have my little family.

We’re not perfect, but we’re happy and that’s more than I can ask for.

The HIGHLIGHT of my week is… having my Kassab Jewelery Designer Manila personally deliver my diamonds to the studio!

Thank you so much girl for my Versace Earrings and for all the things you do!

Say Hello to my NEW TACORI Rose Amethyst 18K White Gold Cocktail Ring.

 Sometimes I pinch myself to see if my Life is a really REAL… because I honestly don’t want to wake up from my Dream.

I love all the wonderful people that makes my world positive and I appreciate all the support from my friends and family helping me build my career as a Makeup Artist.  My only addiction I have is accomplishments and to always self educate myself. This is my year to shine and I’m not going to stop. I have too many people riding on this bet and I can’t lose. Thank you for believing in me, I will not let you guys down and I will only go Harder.

Love Always,

Julie

Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain

Tips on getting an long lasting and non-patchy finish:

1: do a couple broad strokes with the flat of the applicator on your bottom lip – doesn’t need to be tidy (fyi I don’t wipe off any excess from the applicator in advance)
2. using the tip of the applicator, line your upper lip
3. fill in your upper lip
4. tidy up the bottom lip
5. smoosh and rub your lips together (DON’T do this step earlier! IME, rubbing your lips together before you’ve fully applied the colour on your lips, it results in a patchy finish)
6. Do the finger test (purse your lips around a finger and pull out the finger – so sexual, I know ) to remove any excess gloss

If you wanted to layer on another layer for extra longevity or more opacity, I’d recommend waiting around 30secs to let the stain set. Blot (remember to blot or your second layer may end up a bit clumpy/uneven), then repeat the same steps.

JULIEMISSJUICY RECCOMENDS:

“Best Thing I Never Had” by Beyonce

Sometimes in life you get a flashbacks on what could of happen and then you smile because it didn’t.

5 years ago I wish I could look at that girl in the mirror say…

“HEY Julie! You’re doing the right thing and don’t look back!”

SNACK TIME

Cookies, Fruit Snacks, Almonds, Pretzel, Pepperoni, Cheese Spread, Crackers and a Ginger Ale.

This was my meal in the box.

V.I.P.

Good Bye SFO and now on my way to DFW!

JulieMissJuicy Recommends

BB Creams like Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream SPF 35 $39   These five in one multitasker hydrate, prime, conceal, treat, and protect -in one step.

Shampoo & Conditioner like  Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo & Conditioner $43  For silky soft and healthy hair.

Pink Blush like MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microfinish Blush $25 A cream blush that naturally sculpts and highlights the cheeks for a healthy glow.

Outline Your Cupid’s Bow

Use a pale concealer on your cupid’s bow, outlining only the edge of the lip. This makes your lips stand out and look fuller than they are naturally. You can use your usual concealer if you wish, but it works better if you choose a shade that is lighter than your skin tone. Remember to blend well.

Makeup artists makeup lips everyday and they use some very simple pro techniques on their clients.

There are four main techniques for transforming your lips:

• Exfoliating Lips - The first step for transforming your lips begins with quickly removing any flaky skin. It will make your lips smoother immediately. Most models do this step every single night and you can, too.
• Lip Plumper and Moisturizing - Full plump lips have always been in style and a good lip plumper is a “must have” item for many women. In fact, a number of lipstick products now contain ingredients that will gently plump your lips. There’s a big difference in these products, so try several.
• Lip Gloss - The newest options for lips enable you to create your own with products by combining incredible colors. It’s easy, fun and only take a few minutes. The best part is that you can now add flavoring and moisturizing ingredients in addition to color.
• Lip Stain - When you want lip color that lasts all day then lip stains are the way to go. You can use them to enhance a natural look or as the first layer for red lipstick looks. If your lipstick or gloss wears off, you’ll still have color on your lips.

I love it when my clients comes in with Pictures and Looks they want me to do.

Most request makeup look is the Natural Brown Smokey Eye and the Sexy Dark Grey Eyes.

The Year of the Water Snake is a great sign, a positive one, with energy that can help us face all of the challenges ahead of us. Let’s take advantage of this vibrant influence to improve our lives — and our world! Let it be Beautiful!

Keep it true to yourself; you’ll never really lose in anything…
Trust in your heart and believe in your dreams!

Cara Delevingne backstage at Issa London Spring/Summer 2013

 A cat eye effect is the ultimate touch, but can often result in misshapen or uneven wings on each side. To avoid that, draw a line a few centimeters from your outer corner that arcs up at the same angle as your lower lash line, then connect the upper lash line by creating a triangular shape. And if you mess up along the way, fear not, there’s always Q-tips and makeup remover.
