There’s nothing like getting new ideas and techniques for upping your makeup. In fact, we recommend it at least 2-4 times a year. Colors change with the seasons, fashion magazines promote new trends and it’s fun to keep up with it all, right? And if you’ve got a special occasion like a wedding, prom, anniversary or hot date, it’s always fun to have a makeup artist help you look FAB. However, you want to make sure you go to a true makeup artist, and not trust your look to an amateur. After all, it’s your face AND your first impression, right?

Hair color has never been more exciting! There are so many unique new trends and techniques, and maybe you’re ready to try one. We’re seeing so many iridescent lilacs on the streets and runways and the shade looks good on almost everyone, thanks to the color-correcting blue undertones that can give skin a brighter appearance. (Always a good thing.) Blonde is always in style and we’re seeing a lot of sun-kissed golden ombre hues this summer. And if red’s your thing, say goodbye to those strawberry blonde hues that are so 2017—and hello to fiery crimson reds. Rose Gold is also a big look for 2018. ...
