Valentine's Day 2010

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

OK... so I know this has nothing to do with what I blog about regularly. In my opinion, people should take the time everyday to express or show the love they have for that special person,place, or thing... "Good LUCK"! On the other hand, felt this was interesting and wanted to share this with you all. May be very useful on this day!!!

Red
Red roses are the traditional symbol for love and romance, and a time-honored way to say "I love you." The red rose has long symbolized beauty and perfection. A bouquet of red roses is the perfect way to express your deep feelings for someone special.

Pink

As a symbol of grace and elegance, the pink rose is often given as an expression of admiration. Pink roses can also convey appreciation as well as joyfulness. Pink rose bouquets often impart a gentler meaning than their red counterparts.


Yellow

The bright, sunny color of yellow roses evokes a feeling of warmth and happiness. The warm feelings associated with the yellow rose are often akin to those shared with a true friend. As such, the yellow rose is an ideal symbol for joy and friendship.

White

White roses represent innocence and purity and are traditionally associated with marriages and new beginnings. The white rose is also a symbol of honor and reverence, and white rose arrangements are often used as an expression of remembrance.

Orange

With their blazing energy, orange roses are the embodiment of desire and enthusiasm. Orange roses often symbolize passion and excitement and are an expression of fervent romance. A bouquet of orange roses will send a meaningful message.


Lavender

The unique beauty of the lavender rose has captured many hearts and imaginations. With their fantastical appearance, lavender roses are a perfect symbol of enchantment. The lavender rose is also traditionally used to express feelings of love at first sight.

Other designers: Chado Ralph Rucci, Cushnie et Ochs, Richard Chai Love, and more

Alexander Mcqueen

I got the news early this morning from a friend of mine, “Alexander McQueen has died”!
All I could think was... "Are you JOKING"!
Then hearing the devastation in her voice... crying and telling me she is late for work! I realized it is TRUE “Alexander McQueen is dead”!

We have truly lost one the world’s most extraordinary designers! Why he killed himself no one will ever know. Be he will be missed...

Shawne Merriman

LIGHTS OUT!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Shawne Merriman

Makeup shows its face once again! And this time it’s on the face of NFL superstar linebacker, Shawne Merriman.

For those of you football fans out there, you probably know #56 as the San Diego Chargers’ Hitman as Mr. “Lights Out,” one of the most ruthless and feared outside linebackers in the NFL. Well let me tell you…it was “LIGHTS ON” with this very down to Earth Pro Bowler while we were on the set for SET magazine’s editorial photo shoot with photographer Zach Cordner.

Now you may have heard a lot about Merriman the player, but did you know about Shawne the “supermodel?

As makeup artists, we have the opportunity to work with people from many different professions, athletes included. While most players are a little scared to do things that are “out of the box” so to speak, I was quite impressed with how Shawne let those of us on the style team to do our jobs and be creative! That team was led by his barber Rahmel, wardrobe specialists Charley Altuna and Jany, and on men’s grooming? Yours Truly of course!

How can you as a man (or ladies, for your men out there) take better care of yourself from a grooming perspective? Well, here are a few simple things men should do to keep themselves up. For starters, a fresh haircut and shave are essential. A good cleansing of the skin followed by the right face moisturizer and body lotion, are next in line. Please don’t forget chapstick/lip balm. And to top it off, have (or develop) a great sense of style!

If you cover these basic things, you will see any man developing a ruthless sense of confidence! Although it may have taken us a couple of hours to get Shawne Merriman for a shoot, guys, it will only takes 10-15 minutes a day to look and feel your best!

Some Products used. That you may want to try!
