Easy A and Spiderman

I am in love with Emma Stone.  I think she is just darling, gorgeous, and talented! Her make up always looks en pointe, and I wanted to re-create a look I saw that instantly grabbed me!

How do you think I did? Please also comment on any celebrity looks you would like to see re-created!  If you missed it, I tackled Ms. Jolie’s seductive pucker here.

Happy Attempts!

Love and Beauty,

“Only Floss the Teeth you Want to Keep”

So fresh, so clean.

So fresh, so clean.

This Must Have Monday product of choice is under $5 and can save actually your life!

My favorite dentist has a saying at his office, “Only floss the teeth you want to keep.” This saying has haunted me my whole life.  As a result, I am still cavity free, and simply cannot go to bed without gently flossing the day away!

The less than glamorous reality is that flossing prevents tooth decay, and harmful bacteria that can potentially lead to abscessed teeth and even worse, death! Yikes!

Thanks to Dr. Mike for the friendly reminder that beautiful smiles take routine and care!

Happy flossing! Lol

Love and Beauty,

E

Radiant Orchid!

Another week, another video!  Oh!  I am so obsessed with the Color of the Year!  I find it suits most people just divinely.

I incorporated Radiant Orchid into all aspects of my face; from eyes to cheeks and lips.  It’s fun to do it all, but also remember, it is also delicious to pick and choose where you apply our fabulous color of the year.

I hope you enjoy this easy and quick tutorial!  My brushes were dirty, so I resigned to use the applicators that come with the YSL palette.  I think they did just fine.

What are some of your favorite trends you have seen with our new color of the year?

Love and Beauty,

Memories and Delight (MMM)

Maison Martin Margiela Fragrance Launch!

Maison Martin Margiela Fragrance Launch!

I am LOVING the new MMM collection (‪‎Maison‬ ‪‎Martin‬ ‪‎Margiela‬). So smart to replicate (ie ‪#‎Replica‬) the feelings and emotions of moments past into fragrance since smell is such a memory trigger. My personal favs are Funfair Evening, Lazy Sunday Morning, and Flower Market! For men, Jazz club is to die. I love it when a great launch hits, and I think this might just be one of them! All fragrances are 3.4 oz and $125 (at Sephora anyway). A little pricey, but seriously yummy!

MMM as a style line is pretty cool as they create replications of textiles and styles from the past. Eg. a doily from the 40’s will be re-invented into a dress for today, ie Replica. So it all ties into a delicious little package of cohesion! What’s not to love??

Happy Memories!

Love and Beauty,

Gloss Volupte = Obsessed.

Thank you, YSL for the full collection!!!  Gloss Volupte

Thank you, YSL for the full collection!!! Gloss Volupte

How could I have skipped this #musthavemonday when I have been obsessing over the Gloss Volupte since my trip to NYC?!?!?!?  These beauties used to be called, “Golden Gloss,”by Yves Saint Laurent Beauty, but have been re-packaged, and are back to stay!  
I am in LOVE with the smell (mango butter), the texture (vitamin E), and the PLUMPING!!!! (hyaluronic acid).  Not to mention the super luxe design and traditional gold YSL detail.
A huge thank you to YSL for the full collection.  I know what I’ll be using from here on out for gloss both for myself and my clients.  Just beautiful!
What are you obsessing over this week?
Love and Beauty,
E

I hope you like grunge

Hi Everyone! I’m so sorry for being so absent! The traveling and craziness of the award season took me away from filming etc for my Tune in Tuesday segments. However, I did have the chance to work with the amazingly fabulous Jared and JD for a fun photo video shoot featuring Youtube’s ilyjessicaomg and her boyfriend, Kyle. Filming was done by the super talented Tyler Vesneski. Make up was done by moi!

I hope you like #grunge

Love and Beauty, E

And….we’re Live!

I am SO excited to announce my presence online with my make up management company, YW Management.  You can find me here!

My Must Have Monday is putting thanks where thanks is due.  I need to thank my career with Armani Beauty for getting me to Los Angeles, so I could meet the people I have met.

My family for realizing that I was never going to make it in any profession other than one that was artistic and creative.  To my sister, for letting me apply make up to her tiny face when she was three and I was four. To my husband, the talented Mike Oliver, for taking a chance and moving from his safety net of Seattle to Los Angeles with me so we could try something crazy.

To my business partner and creative other half, Robert Sargsyan for encouraging me to follow my dreams in ways I never thought possible.  A HUGE thank you to Fiona Gubelmann for introducing me to Julie Murray my make up manager!  And to Julie for introducing me to Andrea, my mentor and marketing guru for all things print and beauty.  I feel like I can breathe in this moment, and I know there’s still a looooooong way to go and a daunting road of hard work, but right now, in this moment, I feel so happy.

I am so sorry for the lack of posts as my NYC trip proved more jam-packed than I thought, and now I’m back in Los Angeles, it’s time to post again every single week!

Who can you thank for where you are today?

Love and Beauty,

E
