I know it’s a little late but here are a few pics from my attendance at the IMATS in LA last month!

Talent!

The lovely and talented Queen of Blending!

I was so excited to meet the talented Allan A. Apone! He has been MUA to Samuel Jackson for over 10 years! His most recent work on Samuel Jackson was for Django!

1st day mini haul!

Scary but dope!

Walking Dead!

The absolutely adorable Talia Joy!

New trends in makeup!

The IMATS is the International Makeup Artist Trade Show! If you are a makeup artist and/or beauty blogger and have not attended IMATS before, I strongly recommend it! It was such a good time and not just the shopping but the classes! There were so many vendors there and many of them had items from their unlaunched Spring collections! The classes and sessions were amazing! Education is so important in this industry so don’t sell yourself short!

There are 5 shows left around the world… check the site for more info on locations and tickets! http://makeupmag.com/imats/

If you also attended IMATS in LA share your experience with me in the comments! I would love to hear from you!

Celeb Looks: Bad Girl Ri Ri

Last night I was looking through pics I had stored on my phone of some celebrity makeup looks that I liked. When I got to this one of Rihanna…

I felt like I immediately wanted to re-create the look! So I did! Lol

Here’s how it turned out…

What do you think?

Once again I used the BH Cosmetics Party Girl Palette for the eyes. I used MAC Viva Glam Nicki lipstick with some Philosophy Raspberry Sorbet lip gloss over it. I also used Mary Kay Strawberry Cream mineral cheek color on my cheeks.

Has anyone else attempted this look? Or other celeb looks? I want to see!

Happy Glamming!

MAC Grey Friday Lipstick Look

Posted: December 3, 2012 | Author: justBglam | Filed under: Cosmetics, Just B, Makeup | Tags: BH cosmetics, freelance, grey Friday, lipstick, MAC, MAC cosmetics, makeup, Makeup Artist, MUA | 7 Comments »

Hey loves! Sorry that I am so late with my postings… Things have been hectic! You can always follow me on Instagram @justBglam as I update more frequently on there!

So MAC released their Grey Friday Lipstick for one day only on Black Friday! Of course I had to make an order or 2

This is the look I created once I received my new lippies in the mail…

Now for the lipstick, it is a Dark grey frost… Silver shimmer. It’s somewhat opaque and would take multiple coats to get it the color it looks in the tube. So I would suggest if you want a darker look without piling on the lip color, use a darker lip liner! For the look above I used a black liner. Overall, its a lip color you can have a little fun with!

By the way, the eye colors I used for the look are from the BH cosmetics Party Girl Palette!

As always, Happy Glamming!
