Yesterday I got the pleasure of doing makeup on recording artist JacQ for her album release party at Sky Room in New York City (my hometown). It was such a great event and doubled as the official launch for Gossip Meets Couture Magazine.
When I got to the hotel JacQ was a bunch of nerves because she was nervous about performing. We all tried to console her and reassure her that her talent would win everyone over. After she showed me the dress we got started. She suggested that we do silver and I thought that silver would go great with her blue sequinned dress. JacQ wanted to do a wet look so I knew just what to break out of my kit - my L'oreal Hip eyeshadow duo. The silver looks metalic and wet without having to wet the product (that can get really messy). I added a little bity of depth to it with an eyeshadow given to me by niece by ELF. I didn't really know if I'd ever use it but it came in handy for this! I swept the L'oreal metalic silver from lashline to crease and along the bottom lashline, then to add a little depth we took the darker gray from the ELF palette and went in the crease and over the silver on the bottom lash line. We finished the eyes with long thick falsies, mascara, and liner - bonita! For the cheeks we used a peach color from Make Up For Ever and of course put a Tokidoki highlight right above the apples and under the eyes. We finished to look with a nude lipstick from NARS. She ended up lookin hot and once she got on stage she performed her butt off.
I danced the night away with my girlfriends and dined on White Castle burgers later (classy, lol). Look out for JacQ she's a double threat - a talented beauty.
