Where Music and Beauty Meet…
I am feeling this song soo much right now… Brings back memories 🙂
I know this remix to ‘I Wanna Be Down” is super old (from 1995 to be exact), but I just love the swag these ladies, Brandy, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, and Yo-Yo, brought to the game back then. I also love the simplicity of their makeup and styling in this video. Their beauty was still reflected in an understated kinda way.
And those braids!!! I think it is time for a hair style change **off to call a braiding specialist**
Who else is feeling this oldie but goody?
A Glam Wedding in London
Late last year my love, Mobyz, got married in London and I had the pleasure of being her makeup artist. She wanted a natural glam look and I think we achieved just that. Check out some of the images from her super fun wedding. I wish I could relive this trip…but oh well, memories are also priceless 🙂
I pray for marriage blessings for she and Charles. And here is to wishing them many, many, many wonderful years of love and happiness together!

I was able to capture a few up-close and personal images with my iPhone (you can click on the images for a more detailed look):
Mobyz, thanks for choosing me to make you glam on your special day. Love you xxx

Where have you been?? Okay, Okay…Let’s RECAP!!
Hello Guys,
Happy July 4th!!!
I am not sure if I should just act like nothing happened **covers face in shame** or address my absence? For the sake of transparency, I have decided to share. I have been gone for a minute due to a hectic work schedule, personal commitments and a lack of inspiration, but now I am back and I am excited to share about my passion. It is ironic, because I thought about this blog a lot while I was gone and the direction I want to take the blog. I started this blog almost four years ago, and I have changed so much…for one, I am older and I have also matured as an artist. I will still use this space to express myself and share on the topic of makeup, but I want to make sure I am posting what I am truly passionate about and what you guys want to see.
So, let me update you…and let’s start from the last time I was here:
2012 was both amazing and busy. I want to take a moment to reflect on all the great things that happened last year with my Makeup Artistry. I continued to hone my skills. I partook in photoshoots, worked with many fabulous women, was part of a successful makeup seminar in Lagos, attended the makeup show in NYC, trained with Temptu (and I am now an Airbrush Certified Makeup Artist) and I met many amazing makeup artists in my travels. Last but not least, I was able to provide makeup services for many of my lovely brides’ on their special day.
One such bride, was Dale, who got married last year. She is one of my favorite brides to date. I was referred to her by lovely sister who owns Kenjah Bath and Body. The moment I met her, I knew we would be a perfect match. I have to say, she has such an amazing spirit. Her wedding was Chic!!! The ambiance of the location and the feeling in the air was what I like to call “Grown and Sexy”. I loved her dress as it was unique and simple. Her whole bridal party was so much fun to work with. I am blessed be able to work with wonderful people like them.

The Lovely Couple
On to 2013…so far this year has been super busy and interesting. 2013 started out on a great note…We won the WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Awards™ 2013 and it was such a great feeling. This prestigious award recognizes the top five percent of Wedding Professionals nationwide. Thanks to all my beautiful brides…thanks for choosing me to be part of your special day!
I look forward to sharing about what I have been up to so far this year and also posting about requested topics and more.
What have you been up to since we last spoke? Is there anything in particular you would like to see on this blog? I have missed you all.
