Make-up Trial Number 1000000000…..
April 18th, 2006 @ 9:18 am by Mrs. Firefly
I know, you all are tired of seeing my before and after mug shots. But this is the last one. I promise. Cuz I booked her (yeah!).
The back story: I went to the New York Metro Bridal Showcase and got talked into a mini-makeover at the Bloomingdale’s Bobbi Brown counter. It was quick — 15 minutes… no heavy eyes, no concealer and oh my gawd it looked fabulous. I wish I looked that good every day for work.
So I tracked down the make-up artist (Laura Nadeau) and scheduled a trial and…. voila! (I look so awful in the befores, I didn’t want to post them, but well, you need to see the before to appreciate the afters).
At Bloomies: Before…
and After.
Just the Eyes:
At home with different lighting.

Like I said, this is it! everything about this look is perfect. =o)
beautiful!
I agree, this one is perfect.. you look more natural in it than the others.. it brings out your features in a much softer and subtle way as opposed to the others that seemed a bit more harsh.. did they have to do a lot? it doesn’t look like they had to put a lot on at all!
wow! looking good! this is def. the one.
wow, looks good!
wow i have to say you look great!
Fantabulous! 
this is it! you look beautiful. you look fresh and refreshed. Your skin is glowing. Perfect!
This is definitely the one. I love your eye makeup!

About Me: I was born in the city of Donetsk in the former Soviet Union (now the Ukraine) and grew up in Brooklyn. Many of my parent's friends are from Russia and the Ukraine as well. We want all of our guests to have a great time and hit the dance floor so we've hired a band that can play both Russian and American music; not to mention a mean rendition of the Gypsy Kings and chair-raising hora!
wow i think you look beautiful! this one is definitely my favorite. it even beats the laura mercier one.
