My pal Kelly and I hit Green Hills mall awhile ago to edit our summer make up bags with some loot from Sephora. I was and still am thrilled with my beauty purchases (which I use daily) and thought I would take a moment to share them. One of the most frequently asked questions I hear is, "What kind of make up is best for my photo session?" This is a great question because you want to look like the best version of yourself ... naturally. My mantra with beauty products has always been... when applied correctly, LESS is always best. Of course minor touch ups can be done in photoshop but why not have the face of a natural beauty everyday?! These products are terrific basics to enhance your skin, not hide it. Now you be the judge, each product is linked to more info. Go ahead, let them charm you too!

The glamorous housewife.
"Isn't elegance forgetting what one is wearing?" - Yves Saint Laurent
I was sitting in bed last night reading "The Little Black Book of Style" by Nina Garcia and came across this quote by YSL. It instantly made me think of this photograph I shot years ago for a downtown association. It sits in the part of my head that reminds me every once in a blue moon that I would like to be the glamorous housewife who vacuums in stilettos and bakes in sequins.
I am not. Instead, I wear cozy faux-fur slippers ... daily... and need not elaborate on how long its been since I put on a fancy sequin dress. Hmm, maybe I should have gone with the girls to the Mardi Gras Ball at Paris Landing on Saturday? On second thought maybe I will go find my favorite tube of lipstick and clean something.
