Word Of The Day!!

coruscate \KOR-uh-skayt\ , verb:

1. To give off or reflect bright beams or flashes of light; to sparkle.

2. To exhibit brilliant, sparkling technique or style.

Coruscate comes from Latin coruscatus, past participle of coruscare, "to move quickly, to tremble, to flutter, to twinkle or flash." The noun form is coruscation. Also from coruscare is the adjective coruscant, "glittering in flashes; flashing."

So lets get out our Urban Decay Polyester Bride and give our highlight a little bit of sparkle!!

Seattle Supercross!!

Come one come all!! Woo Hooo!! I haven't had my motocross fix in far too long. Tomorrow, April 18th Supercross will be at Quest Field. The battle is between Chad Reed, Bubba Stewart, and good ol' boy Kevin Windham for the points.

Come back on sunday to catch a peak at Supercross fashion and makeup. To be admired or not to be admired??? That is definitly the question at these races ladies! Watch your skin to eyeliner ratio!

Here is me with Travis Pastrana at last years WORCS race in Stradaline WA. I doubt he will be there tomorrow, but we love him and his Nitro Circus crew!

Happy Friday:)

Naomi Balatbat Desgins-Photoshoot @ LUCID

Hi all,

This is the Photoshoot Jodi and I took part of at the LUCID jazz lounge in the University district. The model is Lisa, and the Designer is Naomi Balatbat. She assisted a designer in LA for a while, and now she designs and owns a party planning buisness. Her friend CB helped with the Styling and Mike was the main photog. We all worked together towards the same goal, like we had worked together for years. Thanks for the wonderful opportunity!

Naomi will be showing at Seattle Fashion Week this year, and you can find all the links for the above people on Jodi's Blog. jwphotographystudio.blogspot.com

The look of the evening was very forty's glam with lashes, liner and lips!! The first is the before and after. The shots following that are some editorials Jodi caught during the process.

SOON TO COME!

This summer I did a family friends makeup for a family picture. Also my friend Mandy had portraits taken with her husband Erik and their dog Broadie. I did her makeup:) Be expecting them by the weekend!

Cheryl

Cheryl is Maria's mom.  When we did the gear shoot, we took a couple pictures of Mom and Daughter together.

Her eyes were the focus so i used a brown liner with a rust shadow.  To open up her eyes a little more used quite a few coats of mascara.  Some mauve blush, bronzer and a mocha gloss.  

They looked gorgeous together!

Maria Natural

 This was a shoot that we did for a Motocross gear company.  We wanted maria to look like herself, just her natural features enhanced.  She has fabulous cheek bones so i made sure to use bronzer, blush and highlighter to make them stand out.  A bit of shadow, lashes and gloss and it's a wrap!

Maria Glamour

This makeup look was channeling Veronica Lake.  If you look at a picture of her next to Veronica,  it is a spitting image.  

We stepped it up a bit from her "natural look" and did the brown up to right above the lid.  Added a little bit of blush and red gloss.  

Gorgeous
