African American Makeup : Glam night from Canada to Boston!

On May 31^st, I had the pleasure of working with a beautiful woman by the name of Joyce, who came to Boston all the way from Canada to attend her 10 year college reunion.  Because Joyce doesn't typically wear makeup on a regular basis, she asked me to give her a “natural” look. Natural makeup looks can be beautiful and stunning, however, since she was going to a night event, and it was going to be more than just a cocktail event, I convinced her to go for a "glam" look instead!

After

I made her up with smokey eyes, consisting of gray and black shadow. These colors compliment each other fabulously and can really add that "pop" to the eyes! and finished her smile with soft pink lips.  Once I completed her makeup, and she got dressed in her reunion attire, she looked like she was ready to walk the red carpet!

When I bean applying Joyce's makeup, the sun was still shining, and by the time we finished, the sun had just about faded into night time, perfect timing for Joyce to make her appearance at the reunion!
