My hubby saw this of Andrej and noticed I was doing makeup in the background. lol. The makeup for the Yoana Baraschi show (keyed by Lottie for Make Up For Ever was amazing and so fun to do!) My good friend Stella did makeup for Andrej.

Recent work I did with the ladies of The Real Housewives of DC for OK! Magazine. Make sure to tune into Bravo, each Thursday at 9pm EST to see the ladies tell their stories. I had the pleasure of working with these ladies on a number of the episodes. They are really great (and funny as hell) and I’m looking forward to see how their stories come to light for the public. :)

This was given to me in a little goodie bag at the last New York Makeup Show at the Loreal Paris booth. I decided to try it out on myself since my skin has always been out of whack in not being able to decide whether it’s dry, oily, uneven, rough, the list goes on and on. I slathered a bit of this onto my face and I have been using it ever since! I’ve even been able to go out without foundation on, wearing this alone. Definitely give this dream product a try. I can’t believe I’ve gone so long without it!
