With the right costume and makeup, you can look like almost anybody you want to be. As with anything else, right is as right does, and some are more successful than others.  There are some costumes that scream “awesome!” and some that just say, “awww, really?” Guess which one is which.

]]> <![CDATA[Colored Mascara]]> http://boldmode.wordpress.com/2012/09/30/colored-mascara/ Sun, 30 Sep 2012 23:10:23 +0000 Miri<3sFashion http://boldmode.wordpress.com/2012/09/30/colored-mascara/ This trend is seen all over the place during New York Fashion Week and I have to say that this is an “odd” makeup trend is surprisingly super attractive. It bring so much sparkle and light and interest to your eyes, which let’s face it, is a great feature on just about everybody. It also makes the white of your eyes pop making them look big and beautiful with less yellow tint. I’m not sure if it’s good for a more conservative office environment but on a weekend with a bare face, I think this look totally rocks. Confidence is key! In my opinion it is not okay to wear anything other than black or brown unless you have perfect skin, and a young face. Believe me, I saw an old woman wearing blue mascara and it just looked really silly and weird. Look for colored mascara in stores like Dior, Maybelline, YSL, and Sephora. The most populair color is blue but purple and green are got too. To not look really over the top just put the colored mascara on the top lash and brown or black mascara on the bottom lash. Finish off the look with a light pink or nude lip with some gloss.  What do you think of this look?

Thank you for reading!! :)

A few months back I wrote about my awful experience with BB Cream. Need a refresher? Click this link. But I’m not here to remind you of my bad BB cream run in but to tell you this: readers, I was wrong. So.So.Wrong.

It happened at the gym. Doesn’t it always? I was working out and flipping through a magazine. That’s how I saw the ad for Dream Fresh BB, a Maybelline creation. It’s no secret, I love Maybelline products. Come to think of it, I should see if they need a copywriter. Holly, make a note about that.

For all the foundations I’ve tried Maybelline makes my fav, and I buy their mascaras the way a shoe hoarder scoops up pumps at TJMaxx. Nuff said.

When I finished my workout I headed straight to the drug store and grabbed the last Dream Fresh in Medium/Deep-a good sign in my opinion. I didn’t care that I was dripping in sweat and was totally offensive to all who were unfortunate enough to cross my path. I just wanted to pay my $8.99 and leave with my potential treasure. I was pathetically excited. Because here’s the thing-BB Cream is suppose to be this incredible all inclusive product. Dream Fresh is suppose to even skin tone, blue imperfections, brighten, smooth, hydrate, enhance, and protect skin with 30 SPF. Oh, and it contains no oil or heavy ingredients.

Most BB creams promise to do similar things but not everyone cream is made from Maybelline, you know what I’m sayin?

Now onto the results.

Geez, I don’t know why I have to look so serious in my photos. I promise I do smile. But back to Dream Fresh, it’s very light and blendable. A little goes a long way. The last BB Cream I tried made my skin look dull but Dream Fresh made my skin look dewy. It’s a good product for those days you want to dress up your face but don’t have a lot of time. I do wear it over moisturizer, but that’s because my moisturizer is good for reducing melasma.

Have you hopped on the BB Cream bandwagon? What’s your favorite brand?

Yesterday, Subreen, Genna and I wanted to warm up for an evening at Scarowinds (we are just a tight group of friends looking for a creative outlet, after all..) by shooting the BLACK WIDOW in our animal series! Oohhh SCARY. Ohh, Halloween is just so much fun!!!

We had Anita come out to Davidson for this one. Subreen hooked her up with about a zillion eyeballs, crazy black bodypaint, styrofoam hair, and a bag of Halloween spider webs. She brought her five year old daughter to the shoot who kept my cat, Pipesicles, very entertained during H/MU. Fun fact about Anita and her daughter, Nina- they speak Polish! Coolest thing ever. That’s pretty awesome if you ask me. Brendan, my main man, hardly ever comes to my shoots, but he came to keep little Nina company in the spooooooky graveyard while I did the shoot of Anita. They were just soooo damn cute that I had to snap a photo of them bonding.

So I am thinking about adding Behind the Scenes photos to my blog here.. I have them for tons of my past shoots but I never really do anything with them except put them on my site. So.. what better place to post pictures of shoots than my blog where I talk about…shoots? :) I’ll admit that they will probably get a little more wordy but I’ll try to keep it to a minimum!! Hehe… so here’s another great Behind the Scenes photo. This is my twin sister being a super diva in the graveyard. Probably terrible, but pretty hilarious.

Alright, so enough of that for now.. Let’s get to the goods! For the Black Widow shoot, I wanted a good, creepy desaturated look, while still keeping the beauty of the eyes and the vibrancy of the hourglass forehead. I think the product turned out fantastic, and as always, it was so great watching Subreen work.

Introducing… Anita, the Black Widow of the creepy graveyard… Rawr!

And we will wrap it up with a silly group photo taken by Brendan with all of his fine photo skills…hah… right. I love you, B!

That’s all for now, xx!

Sooo excited to shoot our panda today!!! She is SO cute! I have been looking forward to shooting this fluffy, cuddly little bear from the beginning of the series when it was just a little, far-fetched idea in my head. We’ve had a busy weekend working on the series, and the next two are doubled up weekends as well… so you guys have a lot more coming! I’m really loving the flow of the series so far, and how fast we are cranking them out. It makes our future plans for the series seem not so far in the distance. That’s so important and wonderful!

Wendy Li was our model for our cute panda! The minute I saw her, she was immediately casted for panda without any other competition for the spot. She was the first of the series to be cast because she is SO FREAKING CUTE. She’s got such a cute smile, and warm face.. We wanted to make the panda a cute animal, to balance our evil bee. I love how it turned out! The bamboo forest and the green leaves in her hair (Thanks Subreen!) were a perfect touch! As always, great work by my team, Gen & Sub!

Bzzz! ]]> http://alexapoletti.wordpress.com/2010/10/10/second-in-the-series-bzzz/ Sun, 10 Oct 2010 00:52:16 +0000 alexapoletti http://alexapoletti.wordpress.com/2010/10/10/second-in-the-series-bzzz/ And the ball is officially rolling on our animal series!!! Yes! Today, we kicked off with Jennifer Hoyle, playing our bee… the evil, disgruntled bumble bee. For this, my team and I decided that bees are evil and mean, so we went with a sinister look for her. We took her over to a garden, filled with actual bees, for some evil bee inspiration. I loveee how they turned out! Check them out!

]]> <![CDATA[The Beginning of Something Beautiful]]> http://alexapoletti.wordpress.com/2010/10/05/the-beginning-of-something-beautiful/ Tue, 05 Oct 2010 03:16:56 +0000 alexapoletti http://alexapoletti.wordpress.com/2010/10/05/the-beginning-of-something-beautiful/ YES!!!!!! It is time to kick off the new series that I have been rambling about for nearly a month. It is now in full swing with scheduled shoots one after another after another. I can FINALLY release some details about the series..

The idea is a series of models portraying a variety of animals through animal inspired makeup designs by my wonderful team. I’m so happy to have such a great team working with me… Ms. Subreen Davis and Ms. Genna Poletti. I know I post their links every time, but they are a huge part of these shoots and I really couldn’t do it without them. I am so grateful.

Genna: www.gennapolettimakeup.wordpress.com

So, with all that said, here is the beginning of the series! We started on Saturday with such a sweet model, Sierra Davis. She was casted as our swan, pretty much the moment we saw her. Such an elegant, gorgeous face on her… And she’s only 17! Sometimes we work with such young talent, it really blows me away to see the images that they produce. We have some great stuff coming up  very soon so definitely be on the lookout for updated blog posts, and I may even get around to updating my website one day too, hehe… Well, without further ado, here she is.. Sierra the Swan!

I know that she kicks ass, so I was sooo super stoked about this opportunity. I asked her what she can do, and then I will come up with an idea based on that.
Her reply was, “I can do anything.”
which is the coolest answer ever, because that led us to this shoot today. After planning and planning and tweaking and planning, the idea blossomed into the best shoot (possibly ever), with the help of ridiculously talented model, Hannah Sayles.

And that’s a wrap!
