Nikki Jay Makeover: Sassy Makeup

This is a makeover I did on a beautiful lady who wanted to step out of her comfort zone and get some pictures taken by a professional photographer (Jazzy Images). Apparently this was a secret dream of hers but she suppressed it for over a year because of nerves! lol I think we can all relate to that! From the night before working with her, to the day of, she was contemplating not going through with it. 

Nonetheless, after receiving two stunningly gorgeous makeup looks, her jitters soon turned into a well of confidence that propelled her to do what she was afraid to do for so long. This is the miraculous power of a great makeover!! It can definitely awaken a confidence you never knew you had! Even enough for you to get the nerve to pursue something you have been putting off for years! Try it, you will be amazed a what an awesome makeover can do! Have any of you ever had this experience?

A Page from My Journal

So how many of you journal?  I find it a good way to get the deeper expressions of your soul out in a way you may find it difficult to formulate through verbal communications. IDK about you, but late at night and early in the morning is when my journaling has the most depth. I feel I tap into something within my self that gives me guidance and wisdom. I call it my secret chamber. lol Its a beautiful place I feel the most safe, the most myself--I feel at home when writing from this place. Well in any case, below is a small snippet from one of these free flowing nightly journaling sessions. I hope it helps or "speaks" to you in some way... Please feel free to share any of your "free flowing" journal experiences. 

"Live to grow. Live to help others grow. Life can be found in total surrender to the wisdom and truth of the Mighty who created you. There's beauty in the blossom of a spirit. Live to see that happen in and around you. The beauty of life can be found in the blossom of the spirit. That is what the situations on this Earth exist to bring forth...a blossoming of the spirit...which leads to elevation in the quality of the soul. Live for greater things in this life than things that pass away. Money...Prestige...Cars....Jewels....Appearances...Clothes...

No one will remember, and frankly no one will care. Grow yourself. Leave those "childish" things behind. Live to grow, and leave a legacy. Those are things that never pass away."

Todays look: Neutral eyes, flushed lips

For today's makeup look i decided to go with gold tones for the eyes and just a flush of color for the lips. I wore leopard print shoes and headband and added a pop of color with a vintage royal blue blazer, so i didnt want my makeup to over power, but compliment. I used mac foundation, ben nye translusent powders in banana and sienna to set. For the eyes i used bella terra mineral cosmetics. The gold is called goldfish, midtone is called Earth and the black is called Midnight. Then i lined with liquid eyeliner... For the lips i rubbed a little of the mineral eyeshadow in lollipop on the inside of my lip for tht "i just had an ice pop" type of look lol :) (for those of you who dont know you can use bella terra cosmetics at least 8 different ways) hope u like!! Any questions please dont hesistate to leave them in the comment section! Thank you so much! Stay inspired!

Pink and brown eyeshadow

Here is the makeup look i wore the other day. I really liked how it turned out. I used Bellaterra cosmetics for the eyes ( in flushed, earth, coca bean) and studio tech foundation from Mac (NW50). If you have never heard of Bella Terra Cosmetics, you can use the same eye shimmer for your eyes, cheeks, lips, nails, hair..and  many other ways your creativity can imagine. I use the pinkish color called flushed as a creme shadow, just by applying it wet with my brush.  I also used the same shadow as my lip color my mixing it with lip gloss. Pretty cool huh? It is tons of fun using this stuff. lol
