New Work! Hairstyle that will repair your hair!

daven — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:05:15 +0000

Hi Everyone! It may look like this style is wet, but I used lots of leave-in conditioner to create this look. Try utilizing the healing qualities of any deep conditioner or leave in conditioner and pair it with a sexy side part for an instant 80′s throwback.

Try using DevaCurl One Condition for any hair type! This is also great if you’re going to wear your hair in a bun or top knot, that way no one will know your healing your hair while ROCKING an amazing style!

New Work! Real Hair or Fake Hair?

daven — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 14:25:34 +0000

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to show you a new editorial I did with Photographer Rob Deutschmann. This amazing shot was created by clipping in lots and lots of extensions to create the illusion of fullness. I razored the ends of all of the clip in extension so that they would fly when our gorgeous model whipped her hair back and forth. The make up was super chic and glowy, and Patrick Defontbrune chose to leave her skin translucent to show of her amazing freckles.

Do you have super long hair and don’t know what to do with it?

If you are shorter than 5’10, try keeping your hair legnth just past your armpits at the longest to prevent you from looking shorter!

New Work! Short Hair Advice!

daven — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 14:15:51 +0000

This Monday i’m all about short hair. I wanted to show you an easy style I did on a photoshoot with the amazing photographer Karla Ticas. I used a 1/2″ curling iron to wave 1/4″ sections back off the face. I gently teasted the root and pinned sections loosly backwards off the face. I love the make up that Celebrity Makeup Artist Leibi Carias rocked. It was a great addition to the elegance of Karla’s photography.

Are you a blonde or were a natural blonde and still struggling to preserve your color?

Unfortunately with lighter hair, the sun,beach and environment can really wash away your color and leave you brassy. Some of my friends have asked me which color line is best for blonde hair. My clients seem to like Redken Chromatics the best because of its resistance to fading.

daven — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 08:35:07 +0000

Sometimes when you’re in pe class or on the go you don’t have time to find a bobby pin in your purse. my friend cindy vela and i are going to show you a way to pin up your bangs without using a bobby pin.

Take a square section from your bangs and comb them backwards take a small 1/4″ section from each side and tie them like a shoelace without the bow. use the ends to loop it around another 2 or three times.

When you pull the stands of hair you’ll notice it will stay in place and voila! Your bangs are out of your face!

Thank you so much for watching!

New Work! Big Sexy Loose Waves!

daven — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:54:25 +0000

I had the opportunity of working with Editorial Photographer Chris Callaway and the amazing Makeup Artist Juanita Lyons. We spent the day create a throw back to old California style with nuances of model beach life. My inspiration for this look was to create a sexy, chic, effortless girl who always seems to take your breathe away.

If you want to turn up the heat in your life, try a deep side part while sweeping your hair to one side. It will give you an instant 50′s inspired vibe paird with almost any outfit!

What do you think of this look? Would you ever try it?

Here is some new work from an editorial in Los Angeles

Makeup Tip of the Day! Big Faux Eyelashes for Halloween!!

daven — Sat, 06 Oct 2012 19:31:05 +0000

If you’re not used to wearing false lashes, they can seem pretty daunting at first. The thought of gluing a foreign object to the base of your eyelid isn’t really something that sounds appealing to some people.

This halloween, if you’re itching to try something new and want to give faux lashes a try, I have some tips for you!

1. Criss Cross Lashes are great to add tons of volume and legnth. The crossing hairs will help blend into your real eyelashes so that you won’t look like a sleepy cow.

2. Curl and put mascara on your lashes BEFORE putting on your falsies. This will help to create a sturdy base to rest the lashes on when you’re frantically trying to stick it onto your eyelid.

3. Lashes will and can change your eyeshape. If you’re unsure about which ones will look best on you, try and get ones like these (Picture above) where the hairs are longer in the middle than on the ends. Its more of a “Bambi” eye =).

Duo has an eyelash glue that comes in black! This is great to hide the glue if you’re doing a smokey eye or are a beginner. Don’t use the black glue if you’re using light makeup! If you mess up, you’ll have black everywhere!

I got lots of lashes and glue at Target, I’m going to do a tutorial soon on them!

What are your favorite lashes/Glue? I want to know!!!

Makeup Tip of the Day! Lip Balm! October 4, 2013

daven — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:47:01 +0000

Don’t you wish you could put just ONE product all over your body wether you have chapped lips, elbows, tattoos, hangnails and all of the irritating beauty flubs we deal with on a daily basis

I have worked on set with many other makeup artists and stylists in the industry. Everyone seems to absolutely LOVE this lip balm!

Lucas’ Papaw Ointment is from Australia and comes in a little red tube. I can’t find very many places that sell it in the United States, but for some reason this is the best All-in-one ointment that I have found over the years of my makeup experience. This ointment is made from fermented papaya extract, which basically is pure natural goodness for your body!

I use this ointment on the lips, but also on the cuticles of the fingers and on elcows and knees as well to help ashiness and crackin. Whenever I go out, I use a little bit of this ointment on my tattoos as well, it deepens the color of the blacks and the shading and makes my tattoos look newer.

Where can I buy this in Los Angeles? AHHHH?? I’ve been getting it on Amazon for the time being.

XOXO Classy not Ashy!

Whats your favorite lip Balm?
